That's a transporter truck and it appears that the car rolled off the front of it and fell to the ground. Damage should only be the rear quarters and bumper. Bad day for someone though.
Their going to need a bumper & the rear light stuff that is just about unattainable . I know where they can try & get what they need but they are going to need to bring lots of cash, lots. I've grown fond of the bumper especially.
Started on a framing crew in the late 60's. The whole crew used the Stanley 20 oz straight claw hammer, tube handle. You could whip it as most of the 20 oz was in the head. Years before nail guns; drove 12d steel pins all day long. Also 6d for the decking (1/2" then). Years of work none ever failed. Still have mine and it does show the ravages of time, it could still work but I cannot. Made in New Britain CT when Stanley was still Stanley.
Excavators are great for cleaning out small ponds and tanks that get filled with silt over time - but it's best to do it from the edges, not the middle.
At least #6 looks repairable.
ReplyDeleteLet's see what it looks like after they recover it.

DeleteNew made after market parts are available for the whole thing.

I'm sure there is some damage to the underframe, driveline, mounts and who knows what else - that wasn't a smooth slope it went off.
Delete#2 Those hammers have a hollow tube for a handle. They're only for wimmin pounding nails into drywall and males who've never built anything.
ReplyDeletePlus: they’re not meant to pull SCREWS out. There’s a magical tool for that called a screwdriver

DeleteI hear you, looked at my old 28 oz vaugh, thought about how I use to make it sing. Then went in the house and took two motrin.
Delete#4. That guy was hailed as a hero for doing that.
ReplyDeleteSure made me want to throw up

Brother used to say you could never get a backhoe stuck. That one looks to be so.

Delete#6 - Didn't need to see that, having my truck shipped to New England later this month. Think I'll give State Farm a call this afternoon.
ReplyDeleteDont know where you're coming from, but you are going the wrong way.

Don't drive your car to the show, they said.
DeleteToo risky and might wreck, they said.
Have it transported, much safer they said.
Well fuck.
#10 Really? You can't drop the car off away from the school bus?
ReplyDeleteLooks like the bus backed up too far. The bed truck is just trying to pull it out.

#6 Another drop off that was literally dropped off.

ReplyDeleteThere's lots of tow truck drivers out there. Skilled recovery specialists and riggers are sparse...

#1- Don't worry, they taught us to drive while using a laptop in cop school, and I'll ticket you for using a fone.
