OH MY!

Can you just IMAGINE what the owner was thinking when they received "The Phone Call"???!!!

Heck, first thing I would've thought was that someone was playing an April Fools joke!

Ok I can understand how it happened with the Lotus, still stupid but I understand it.

How do you drop a truck sideways?

This would take an unprecedented level of dumbness.

Didn't you know? They don't use a lift anymore to work under the car, they just tip is over!

Actually, the truth is that SUVs are getting so big that the lifts aren't strong enough to lift them up anymore... They have to tip them sideways to do any work.
