This morning I looked out the window and saw this and was dumbfounded. So I jumped on the quad and drove up to see if anyone needed help. A tow truck was on the way and nobody was hurt but dang it made for an odd sight to take a picture of :).
Enjoy,
Riley

Tell him/her to put it into reverse, they don't need a tow truck.

I know its front wheel drive.

Now if that wire for the pole was not there, they would not need a tow truck. They would need an ambulance.

Oh one other thing.

If that was a mustang, you could clone out the pole wire and ad a few horses. Then you would have a mustang jumping the fence.

you could clone out the pole wire... With a bit of blur on the real tires, it would be a great wheelie shot! :D

Every time it snows here, it's "Learn to Drive Day" for someone!

Neat pic. That is a pretty good balancing act. I bet they can't do that again.

I might play around with it after work :).
As for doing it again, we figured that if it was much off either way they would have ended up on there side.
Cheers,

Wow.. who knew those cables could hold that much weight. Looks like there's hardly any damage either. I'd love to hear how that worked out.

I bet you could sell that to a local paper.

It's been quite nasty hear in Oregon. I just got out of my driveway this afternoon. I didn't get any good pics like that though. This is one of my winter shots:

Yea i know I am in the same boat out here, I have had to miss class for two days at University of Portland cuz I couldn't get there. I am usually more worried about the other people driving out there, and this picture is case and point.

Anyone else is welcome to post their wintery pics from the oregon/washington area if you want :)
