What passing out speeding in a culdesac does to a house - eviltoast

Description from original poster:

Happened a year ago so we’re almost finished with construction.

My car was parked on the right side on the break in the concrete. He was going 45-50 mph and pushed it over 5-10ft of concrete, through a windstorm certified garage door, and into a filled garage.

If my car hadn’t been there he would’ve driven right into one of the front bedrooms.

Had the pictures pop up in my memories and decided to share the crazy experience!

    I love those “brick walls” built like a movie set, if it was the last house in the 3 piglets story, the wolf would have won

      Most brick house exteriors are non-structural. It shouldn’t be a surprise that they crumble from a car hitting them.

      I think most things will break if you throw a car at them. The important thing is that even though one of the walls has been forcibly removed, the roof is still on top instead of being in the basement
