I was just looking around on failblog.org to pass the time and I noticed something familliar:

Hopefully it was none of you, but if it was, thanks for the entertaining video, hope your car's okay

Might also want to turn your volume down a little bit, some semi-obnoxious music going on there.

What a disaster. I don't know what people are thinking when they do stuff like that.

Why the fiat , why not the MG!

[TulsaSpider]

Poor Fiat

I believe it would have worked if he had used two long boards instead of partial ones, or even fastened them together. Surprisingly, the paint buckets didn't fail, slippage of the independent boards driven backward by the thrust of the wheel caused the support(s) to topple.

I guess that is an example of why we drove a bunch of Fiats up onto a loading dock and then into the tractor trailers (back in 1988 or so).
