Why crackheads should not buy lumber

I don't know how many of you have seen this before,but for those that haven't,it is worth a look.Apparently this crackhead and his girlfriend wanted to build their own house.He was warned by the staff at the building supply store that what he was doing was dangerous,and they had him sign a release form clearing the store for what might happen.Sure enough,these fools did not get far with their supplies.If you look closely you can see the cement bags they had loaded into the back seat and trunk.They did not make it out of the parking lot before the rear tires blew and the weight drove the rear shock towers thru the frame.The engine is still idling and evidently all that work was tiring for the passenger as she is taking a nap while the driver goes for help.http://www.snopes.com/photos/automobiles/lumber.asp

That almost looks like the driver sitting there. Maybe he just shot himself to make the day complete!

Was just getting ready to post the same link.

It is definitely worth a "read".

If I was ever, EVER stupid enough to do something like that, I doubt I'd take pics to show it off!

I can't believe they put rims on that car! They look like Konigs. What's the point?

Same idea as the ricers with their $500 beaters with a $4,000 stereo and a fart can muffler

Apparently they did make it out of the parking lot, where's the Home Depot, not in any of the pics. And I'm sure there are several HD located in/aroung the Annapolis area. Also, the rear tires look like they are still intact, not thrashed or blown. Not saying the picture is fake or doctored, but the story that goes with it sounds a little too fishy.
