Tell us about your weirdest or dumbest car damage.

I worked at an auto parts store on Hickman Mills Drive back in the early 80's. There were two entrances to our parking lot, with a small ditch separating the two. On the side of the ditch facing our store, there were several wooden posts to keep cars from going into the ditch.

Someone leaving our store one day was driving a station wagon and backed over one of those posts. They kind of pushed it down at an angle towards the ditch. When they pulled forward, the bumper caught the top of the post and straightened it back up to the point that the rear of the car was now partially lifted off the ground. The rear tires were barely touching and all they could do is spin the tires, creating a cloud of smoke. It was hilarious. We had to go out there with a hydraulic jack to lift the car and get the post out from under it.
