That man obviously just purchased the car and was driving it out of the store when this happened...

[–]one_step_ahead 522 points523 points ago

Far more likely that they crashed into the post and then the store was assembled behind the vehicle later. It's the only logical conclusion.

[–]CutenessOverlord 228 points229 points ago

Improbable. The tire marks clearly indicate the building appeared out from the driver's right hand side blind spot forcing him/her to take evasive action thus crashing into the post of the handicapped parking sign. The building is obviously at fault.

[–]Feenomite 83 points84 points ago

Bah! What clearly happened was that building with its jutted concrete posts crashed into that parked truck. There is no other logical conclusion. Lawyered!

The word you're looking for is sexist, not feminist.

Ah, is that how fast they are building Walmart's this day? They are there before EMS.

[–]theblackestbrotha 17 points18 points ago

He probably went straight to the customer service desk to try and return it...

[–]GuitarFreak027 172 points173 points ago

Judging by the tire marks, he drove down the sidewalk from the right side and hit the pole.

[–]My_favorite_things 154 points155 points ago

That raises more questions than it answers

[–]DarnTheseSocks 28 points29 points ago

He just wanted to get the best parking spot.

[–]islesrule224 14 points15 points ago

[–]pulledteeth 1 point2 points ago

Not when you've driven in Texas.

[–]Lizardizzle 19 points20 points ago

But WHY?

[–]boomerangotan 18 points19 points ago

If it was recent, and since it's Texas, it was probably to get the only remaining shaded parking spot.

[–]Trip_McNeely 18 points19 points ago

Alcohol would be my guess.

[–]MadMageMC 2 points3 points ago

To give us a new and interesting wallpaper? Just a theory (and an admittedly poor one at that). Also: I totally added this to my wallpaper collection.

[–]M0b1u5 13 points14 points ago

Indeed. They avoided hitting the right-most pole, and turned to try to fit between the gap (LOL, the gap!) in between the first and second, colliding with it heavily.

This is a really great example of a person of well-below average intelligence trying to drive.

[–]DorkPassenger 7 points8 points ago

Judging by the scuffing on the wall and the front right bumper, it glanced off the wall before hitting the post.

[–]LambastingFrog 3 points4 points ago

I agree. Still a hell of a turn in from there though, given that he missed the other posts.

[–]RelevantRetsupurae 1 point2 points ago

[–]Heathenforhire 202 points203 points ago

Clearly hit 88 mph at a time when that store wasn't there.

[–]BillStickers99 75 points76 points ago

False: A Ford Explorer Sport Trac cannot go 88 mph.

I like the fact that when i 1st spotted this post it had 88 upvotes.

[–]blore40 76 points77 points ago

How can you infer the nationality of the driver? Could be Czech, French or Murrican

[–]rowanbrightscale 9 points10 points ago

Get it guys? It's because he's Polish

[–]nerd_with_no_fedora 7 points8 points ago

This kills the pole.

I'm from a distant, totally not hostile planet and I'd like to inquire what other weaknesses do your police forces and/or militia possess, puny human? Just curious.

[–]Woolio 41 points42 points ago

They're made of meat.

[–]FlyingSkyWizard 13 points14 points ago

Surely you jest, they must have some sort of brain in there, perhaps an electron-plasma brain underneath the meat?

[–]Woolio 21 points22 points ago

Nope, just meat. Well, some of them have biomechanical augmentations, but that's typically just for hearing loss.

[–]private_ruffles 1 point2 points ago

But they use radio waves for communication!

[–]Big_Greeno 8 points9 points ago

You'd think so, but no, just meat.

[–]two-cat-cheeseburger 9 points10 points ago

With a yummy doughnut stuffing.

[–]Gargilius 4 points5 points ago

Totally edible.

[–]apextek 3 points4 points ago

They can be baited with donuts but cameras make them angry like looking a wild beast in the eyes

[–]plainOldFool 1 point2 points ago

No real weaknesses. It gets hot but all the windmills in Holland will keep us cool.

[–]Trip_McNeely 10 points11 points ago

I'm an American and I can verify that we are fat.

Edit: Can't tell if downvotes are fat Americans or fit ones...

[–]perverse_imp 1 point2 points ago

My town's PD would like a word with you about that.

[–]chili_cheese_dog 5 points6 points ago

[–][deleted] 6 points7 points ago

Im canadian. Our cops are fit and quite good looking

[–]ReKKanize 1 point2 points ago

[–]cowpunter 1 point2 points ago

Sort of a surprise that a majority of the population isn't fat considering the level of heat makes going outside unbearable.

[–]jwdrummer21 6 points7 points ago

The driver does not understand the concept of handicappable parking.

[–]ScotteeMC 5 points6 points ago

handicappable

Genuine question, is this really used instead of handicapped in America?

[–]shoeofallcosmos 9 points10 points ago

No, except among the super super super politically-correct. There should also be only one P.

[–]ScotteeMC 5 points6 points ago

Right, good to know, imho that's actually quite derogatory.

Also, reminds me of my grandpa, he's not bald, he's follically challenged.

[–]MediocreJerk 1 point2 points ago

He's 86 years young!

[–]WryhkVae 4 points5 points ago

Literally. I will drop you off at the door.

[–]mavol 10 points11 points ago

[–]carrimarie92 18 points19 points ago

The first thing that my dad said when I showed him: Wait a minute, go back, I want to see how the fuck she did that."

I love how he automatically assumed that this was a woman driving.

[–]GaGaORiley 4 points5 points ago

Must be the huge boobs on that woman who's talking to the cop.

[–]thevel 2 points3 points ago

Ok, how close to the door do these handicap spaces really need to be? Damn ADA.

[–]Chrisfromthefuture 3 points4 points ago

Dollar general..

[–]mrcloudies 14 points15 points ago

Did he hit it really hard, than it spun around with its tail end in the air and fall back down without hitting the glass doors?

[–]SitnaltaPhix[!] 18 points19 points ago

You can see a skid mark on the right. Looks like he/she was on the sidewalk.

[–]M0b1u5 2 points3 points ago

No. The shape of the dent and the tyre marks exclude this as a possibility.

[–]VANCe46 12 points13 points ago

Tyre is a long way away from Texas.

[–]narf865 7 points8 points ago

[–]The_Juggernaut1122 2 points3 points ago

I didn't know Rex Ryan was a cop...

[–]MarvinTheAndroid42 2 points3 points ago

Even if he was backed up as much as possible, He would never hit the post with that much force. Fuck this, fuck physics, and in relation to a back to the future comment here, fuck you too doc brown.

[–]Ogow 2 points3 points ago

Why hasn't it exploded yet? Vehicles always explode if any sort of liquid leaks after the crash....

[–]Pad_TyTy 2 points3 points ago

It's fucking Zombo.com up in here

[–]msc1 1 point2 points ago

I came here for zombo.com, didn't leave unsatisfied.

[–]ApokalypseCow 2 points3 points ago

I wonder if that old dude on the right was the driver... if so, better that he get confused about which pedal does what there than at the farmer's market...

[–]I_Key_Cars 1 point2 points ago

Skid marks tell the story.

[–]ultrajinx 1 point2 points ago

I love how the cop has this big shit eating grin and how i can't make out the other dudes face

[–]jeebusmcchrist 1 point2 points ago

That cop sure is pleased about the whole situation.

How fast would have to be going on that sidewalk to get that much damage?

[–]Beau_Vine 1 point2 points ago

He earned that space.

[–]bgthigfist 1 point2 points ago

mentally handicapped parking

[–]henry_blackie 1 point2 points ago

The main question is, how are they getting it back out?

[–]Amytherocklobster 1 point2 points ago

How the hell does this even happen? o_O

[–]Inv_Man 1 point2 points ago

He was driving on the sidewalk when he turned to the left, possibly trying to get out, when he smacked into the pole.

[–]Dingfod 2 points3 points ago

It had to be moving along at a quick pace to do that kind of damage, perhaps 20-25 mph.

[–]milkshakeyard 1 point2 points ago

the driver probably intended to get as close to the entrance as possible, so groceries could loaded up right from the store.

the family was too lazy to spend a minute walking through the parking lot with a shopping cart.

[–]Alyeska2112 1 point2 points ago

We're driving somewhere in east Texas, I'm about 14, and one of my rootin' tootin' distant relations remarks about the drive-thru liquor stores all over the place. Yes, you stay in your car while purchasing alcohol.

He then went on to say, with a straight face, that the dividing bumpers between the lanes on the road were so you can drink and drive while staying in your lane.

Good ol' Texas.

[–]LBK2013 6 points7 points ago

They dont sell liquor. Just beer.

[–]funkymatt 1 point2 points ago

I'm pretty sure this was invented in Wisconsin though.

[–]EpicFishFingers 1 point2 points ago

I can see how this happened now. He drove down the pavement then braked, before hitting the bollard (see skid mark on the right of the pic). The truck's momentum probably made the back wheels lift up and allowed the back to turn around a bit, like in this Euro NCAP crash test vid

[–]raidenmaiden 0 points1 point ago

No, I think I know what happened.. It's quite obvious that there was a street race (probably as part of Fast and the Furious 6).. The store and the car were racing (who knows, maybe the store manager and car driver were mortal enemies or something.. The manager, being a dick, side swiped the car and caused it to crash into the pole.. Realising his mistake, the manager stopped and called the police and is now acting as though he is innocent.. And that ladies and gentlemen is what truly transpired here..

TL;DR - Store and Car were racing. Store hit car. Car crashed. Store Manager walks away..

Edited for clarity
