Mayor Crushes Car Parked In Bike Lane With Armored Vehicle - The Consumerist

Quote:
A mayor of a Lithuanian city this week took to driving an armored personnel carrier over a Mercedes-Benz that was parked in the bike lane. "I've had enough of these drivers parking their luxury cars on bike lanes and pedestrian crossings. This tank is a good tool to solve the problem of parking in the wrong place," Mayor Zuokas told the assembled reporters.

I think this was posted already. Maybe in what makes you laugh thread.
Turns out it was fake I believe.

What a difference in mayors. A mayor in Vancouver would probably crash into it because he's drunk.

Yeah, repost from a while ago.

Ach, did a search and didn't see it. Ah well.

And it's not "fake" as such... it was a "staged" event.

Sadly, the entire event was staged and the parked car was one that had been junked. But I bet a few drivers whose butlers mention the story to them will think twice next time before parking their hot ride in a bike lane.

Boo to staged event. He wouldn't have the balls to run over the Rolls.

I thought about buying a rusty old junker and just leaving it in the bike lanes during Critical Mass Fridays.

That's a great idea. Let's chip in. Set up an HD camera, hope they trash it/riot, and get picture perfect evidence for some charges.

I'm sure it would be towed before that ever happened.

Charges? Like the ones they're handing out for the Stanley Cup riots? :troll:
