Run and Hit?

So what would make you drive your car into a perfectly innocent house?

It’s a rainy, gloomy day here and someone must have decided they just couldn’t take it anymore and decided to end their misery amidst the beautiful brick of a towering mansion. Either that or the brakes failed, because with very little fanfare, this cheap import car dove into the front brick façade … where the car crumpled like so much aluminum foil and the bricks suffered some minor damage. The resulting melee of police, fire and utility workers were fairly united in their perplexed expressions as they tried to recreate how it happened that the front porch accessory formerly known as a moving vehicle became imbedded into said brick.

My theory is that this was the work of a disgruntled contractor who had just been told that his landscaping was not up to par by the homeowners (they wanted something more fluid, more avant garde); rather than refund their money as they had requested he decided to alter their design to meet their needs. Very fluid (transmission, radiator, oil, etc.) and extremely avant garde!

Voila!
