Florida Woman Drove Her Lifted Truck Over A Lamborghini And Didn’t Even Notice

The Huracan was crawling for a parking spot when a three-ton lifted Chevy Silverado climbed right over its front end without stopping


I was amazed, after watching the video, that the driver of the car wasn't crushed.

Well, she certainly noticed AFTER she did it, but likely didn't even see the low profile Lambo from her perch atop that gas guzzler of a high-rider truck with the blacked out windows BEFORE she drove over it! (Note: I'm not sure the Lambo is much better on mpg!)

That's the other thing that is amazing: it's curious that a seemingly stationary camera was poised to record this event just as it was happening as if it were a street camera, only at parking space level.

My Civic was hit, in a parking lot, by an SUV. I returned to my car to find the top of the front, left, wheel arch caved in. Only thing that could have hit my car, that high up, would be the bumper of an SUV. The SUV driver was probably completely oblivious, until he heard the impact, because the high front end of the SUV would have completely blocked the view of my car. When I am trying to make a right turn, and an SUV or pickup, pulls up next to me, to turn left, the SUV is so tall it completely blocks my view of oncoming traffic. SUVs and pickups are not subject to the same headlight and bumper height regs as passenger cars. At night, oncoming SUV/truck headlights are right at my eye level. I have seen accidents, between a normal passenger car, and an SUV. The SUV had minimal damage, but it's bumper smashed into the car, above the car's bumper, doing major damage.

I would not be surprised if the big three, big oil, and big insurance, all persuade the government to ban everything smaller than a 5500lb SUV, in the name of "safety", so they all take more money off the Proles.

That's a good question. There is no attribution or explanation of the video. I wonder if it was from a dash cam of someone in the parking lot.

That’s what it looks like to me - the dash cam of a parked car.
