Drama at my appartment today

Disclaimer: If you are a fan at all of the BMW M3 these pictures may make you cry.


The story:

I came home today to see the yellow BMW M3 that I normally drool over has been loaded onto a semi to be shipped to California. The owner is a friend of mine who lives in the Apt. across from mine. It's a really sweet car and the guy takes extremely good care of it. He's moving to Cali tomorrow and was having the car shipped by a truck so he could fly to Cali.





Unfortunetly this is where everything went wrong.







As he was pulling the car up the ramps onto the truck a terrible sound eminated from below the car. The sound of metal grinding on concrete...




The next thing you know the ramps have shot across the parking lot and collided with the garages some 30 feet away.


Where is the M3???


Here it is... (DISCLAIMER, GRAPHIC MATERIAL)

The car was actually being held up by the frame and the rear bumper/exhaust. The front passenger side tire was completely off the ground.


This is how they planned on getting it the rest of the way in the trailer (and yes they did lift it up by the bumper as you can see in these pictures, the chain didn't do anything).




















You can really see how big of a drop it was in this shot.





You really can't see much of the damage from this shot but you can see that the rear bumper is actually flat.
