Read underneath the picture:
 This brand new car was run over by an Abrams M1A2 Tank. The tank was taken
out of it's shed in the morning and a "No Parking Area" was set-up where th=
e
tank would be driving. Unfortunately this area didn't include the area
immediately in front of the tank shed. The owner of the RX-8 returned from
lunch parking in his usual spot, and went back to work. When the tank was
being driven back to the shed the spotter failed to alert the tank driver
that he was backing up into the car.

The tank just skimmed along the side of the car and ripped off the side
until the tank climbed the fender and crushed the engine. The car was
written off after a strange phone call to the owners insurance company and =
3
unbelieving supervisors. The tank sustained a dime sized chip on its paint,
that may or may not have been there to begin with.

Lots of good other stories on that website, like the mechanic who decided t=
o
take the viper on a little joy ride after doing a tune-up and flipped it
twice.
