I'd think the carriers would be liable, here's hoping for that guy

With a little bit of photoshop you could make that thing look like its doing one hell of a wheel stand

I've seen Lamborghini's and Ferrari's in person, but I have to say that Aston Martin has the most beautiful car I have ever seen in person (besides my camaro of course)

i might cry. I love Astons. How the hell do you let that happen?

Havoc54

03-22-2009, 12:55 PM

haha, I'm guessing they opened the back door and it just rolled out and hit the ground.

That would suck... there's no other way to get it down but to drop the front on the ground.

The end of the lift ramp is laying beneath the car - looks like it only has 4 bolts holding it on. What if the bolts were fatigued and sheared off once the weight of the car was on it? It's a possibility.

Exactly what it looks like to me.

Either the car was on there and the ramp broke, of they backed the car off but for some reason not enough before they started lifting the ramp back up.

I'd probably be a bit pissed, not gonna lie

looks like the lift broke to me. the back half of the car was on that silver part, and it broke causing the back of the car to hit the ground

MYSCZ06

03-25-2009, 01:52 AM

saw that awhile ago...Im sure they were all kinds of pissed off!!

SSmoken

03-25-2009, 02:54 AM

i guess anything is possible. I hope whoever did that can find a job else where. It wont be with another moving company i bet.

MYSCZ06

03-25-2009, 03:33 AM

Looks like it might have been a ramp failure..if you look at one of the pics you see the silver portion of the ramp on the ground which was probably supporting most of the wieght of the car and when that went the car came off

^ that was my guess. But it doesn't how it happened to the owner just that it did!

BlackScreaminMachine

03-25-2009, 07:20 AM

That sucks for anybody.

thechef

03-25-2009, 08:15 AM

if the car was in gear or strapped down that would have never happened, its all in the details

Regardless of the possible mechanical failure. It's in the operators hands. I don't think he'll be shipping cars anymore. Maybe produce. Not cars.

Wow, it's like a piece of modern art.

Had the same thing happen to me on a move. My vehicle is not anywhere near as expensive, though.

Wow, I can only imagine what it had to be like to be the one watching it go off the edge and hearing it crash as it hits the ground.
