What the hell??? Something about that doesn't make sense...

I just watched it again... did the guy in the Honda leave his car in Neutral or is someone else driving it in reverse???? LOL!

She almost hit the wall on the right side as she plowed through. If it were intentional, she'd have hit the middle. She screwed up and hit the gas somehow - probably not concentrating.. I can easily imagine somebody thinking they put their car in gear, taking their foot off the brake, PANICKING as they're moving forward, and hitting the gas pedal instead of the break pedal.

Are you SURE it was the driver of the Honda that got out? Or could it have been either another vehicle out of the picture - or someone without a vehicle at all?

i actually thought that guy was some kind of security that came to check out what happen. the honda just backed up. i mean, what could he do, wait another 2 hours to get in?

I think you're right - if you look closely he has a walkie-talkie and can be seen using it.

That's exactly what I thought.. People need to learn to be more observant.. Not trying to be nasty.

Looks like she did it on purpose. Perhaps this gate is consistently having trouble and she was just fed up already. I mean really, show plowed through that gate like she knew what she was doing.

That crossed my mind as well - but what a stupid idea that would be to damage your own car and screw up your insurance because you're pissed off at a garage door. Not saying people aren't stupid enough to do that.

I'm sure there's damage that we just cannot see. I'm REALLY, REALLY, REALLY doubt the video is fake... I think some people are having trouble believing it's real.

Actually if you look closely you can see the other side of the gate (Facing outward) there is a picture of the entrance to the garage painted on it. Like Road Runner.
