Woops

[Mook]

On the rare occasion that an Aston Martin passes into view, it's impossible not to look. Its exquisite sheet metal has a way of making the world a better place, which is why the picture above is so damn painful. We don't have many details regarding exactly how this gorgeous Aston Martin V8 Vantage ended up at a 45-degree angle, but we're pretty sure that's going to show up on CarFax. A quick look at the blacktop beneath the $120,000 supercar reveals that a piece of the truck's loading equipment simply snapped off, resulting in... well...

Considering that the owner loved this Vantage enough to have it shipped via a covered carrier (and likely waited months for the right to buy it) you get an idea of just how upset he or she is right about now. Actually, looking at the photo, we can see that the gentlemen responsible for unloading the Aston don't look too pleased either.

OOOO ouch.

Almost looks like the car wasnt placed in park, or wasnt left in a gear with the parking break on, and the car just rolled off the platform

Roughly a month ago, I saw one on a flatbed driving down the kennedy. Front end was banged up. Thats probably the second or third one Ive ever seen on the road.

Words cannot even describe how the guy unloading that must have felt.

That's bad, almost as bad as the one I saw back in 2001... In Madison...

On US 12/14/18/151 near where 18 and 151 exit and go towards Dodgeville, there is a low overpass. It was marked going EAST, but not WEST.

Now enter a loaded open car hauler with Cadillac Escalades (previous body style). First truck smacks the overpass right at the top of the A-pillar as the GF and I are in the right lane just behind it! Let's just say that the GF backed off the gas considerably as she got hit by a few pieces of glass through the open window (only open an inch).

The car hauler got off and stopped on the ramp to 18/151 and the driver got out... you should have seen the words coming out of his mouth when he saw what the overpass did!!!
