Joyriding bear trashes car
This bear has gone one better than Goldilocks.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-10753021
Quote:
A bear climbed into an empty car in the US state of Colorado, sounded the horn and sent the vehicle rolling down hill with the terrified animal still inside.
The car's owner, 17-year-old Ben Story, took a snap of the panic-stricken bear as it demolished the inside of his vehicle in its bid to escape.
|
Quote:
Mr Story's father, Ralph, said the bear must have hit the car's automatic transmission into neutral sending it rolling backwards 125ft (38m), off the driveway, down an embankment and into a thicket of trees.
"The four-way flashers were on. It's like he knew what was going on, and kept hitting the horn," he told Denver's 7News.
|
I wonder how they are going to explain it to the insurance company.

Yep or e-brake as their cars are nearly all autos they just leave them in park.

Re: Joyriding bear trashes car
Now everyone else will be looking for a bear pun but you two are so car geeky you concentrate on the type of brake.

I was trying to work an animal joke in, but the best I can do is, perhaps it thought it was a Mustang (Ford)

Re: Joyriding bear trashes car
Knowing how much horses dislike bears I think that is a very cruel picture..
