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.

They wouldve been able to warn her if he used her blinkers. Lol.
Welp, I hope her insurance company will supply a chisel and hammer.
She is the one who’s CEMENT to sort her problems out.
facehoof Apologies for a horrendous pun.
Well, it was either parking there or taking up two spaces in the proper car park..
Welp , I Guess The Cement Guy’s Job is Getting Harder and Harder
Freshly poured concrete yet so many potholes in it… (could be from trying to get the car out though)
If it were wet when she parked there, there would be footprints in the cement, just saying.
If it were dry when she got there how did it become wet??
I read the originall article, and according to her a truck drving “aggresivelly” towards her forced her into the wet concrete. I have no idea what is true, but she handled the situation poorly anyway
I would like to add that based on the position of the car it doesn’t look like it has been parked…
you make a point.. maybe the truck was driving on her lane because of the concrete? and she just panicked cause she had overlooked those cones and all because of maybe fiddling with the phone or whatever
Why did she have to call her parents if she was right outside their house?
hey maybe they weren’t home
If that car had full coverage, it may just get written off and replaced.
Dammit Becky!
