That'll buff right out ...

Here's a sequence of photographs showing some damage done to a parked Mazda RX-8 near Ottawa.

The result.




The damaged Mazda and the offending vehicle's garage.




Long shot showing the Mazda and the vehicle that did the damage to it.



Yes, that's an M1A1 Abrams tank.

A company in Ontario does work on the M1A1 Abrams tank, and their work requires them to have one on site. When taking it out of storage yesterday, the driver had a little problem.

Sweet holy hell! I hope that's insured.

Yeah Right, You were hit by an Abrams tank.

Just how many beers did you have last night?

[Nick]

haha, that would be a fun one to explain...

I'm going to be much more careful the next time I start seeing those "tank crossing" signs along the road now.

"Hey, anybody want a Mazda RX-8, reeeeeeeeeeeal cheap?" :D

I wouldn't be surprised if that happened in London. I know there's a place somewhere in that city where GM builds vehicles for the military.

[ShadowDog]

I can't imagine how bad the driver must have felt. I don't even want to think about what the owner felt. Now that I offer my condolences, I laugh. I laugh my skinny arse off.
