If You Drive Your BMW Graduation Gift Into Wet Concrete, You're Going To Have A Bad Time
Oh dear. Parking your car on wet concrete is never going to end well, either for you or the car. When you park it there despite cones, flashing lights and signs, you really deserve a Darwin award.
We all know that most drivers don’t pay the slightest bit of attention to what’s going on on roads they feel like they know well, and our money’s on that being the reason why Eleysia Morris of DeKalb County in Georgia punted her BMW 3 Series – a graduation gift from her father – straight into the wet concrete on the pavement outside her dad’s house.
She claims that there were no signs, cones or lights when she actually parked there, but what are the chances of a construction crew leaving a freshly-laid patch of concrete without any sort of warning? She’s blaming them anyway, and vice versa.
A tow truck was called to remove the hopelessly stricken 3 Series but, and it’s hard not to laugh since it’s not our car, the concrete had set and the truck couldn’t pull the car free. A specialist contractor was called instead.
A previous instance of this sort of thing, as reported by Jalopnik, put the cost of this sort of carelessness (assuming that’s what it was) at over $10,000. An already expensive graduation present just got really pricey.

She claimed there wasn’t any Indicators of wet concrete
*weren’t, in case of grammar nazis
BMW drivers aren’t generally aware of indicators anyway….
I guess she saw no INDICATION of wet cement, or maybe it INDICATES that she’s a moron

I should con-graduate you on that one👍
that’s not at all what she said in the video. she said she swerved to avoid a dump truck coming at her head on.
Indicator jokes are as dead as that poor car

Stupid Rich kid…
Indeed.
E91’s start at around £5000
E90s aren’t very expensive, you can easily find ones for $10k in USA, so say the kid worked for her grades, etc. and her parents wanted to reward her, why not? Don’t judge so quickly based on a couple paragraphs of information.
That gal ain’t deserves even a car!!
I agree.
