Brings new meaning to the term "launch"...
Missing the side stripes: guess the owner wanted to fly under the radar...

I have a buddy who tells the story about some guy in his home town who launched a Hemi car into a tree. Going to fast on some farm road or something. I'm sure a lot of cars got destroyed back in the day doing stuff like that.

It seems likely that the driver backed over the wall having the car in reverse. Note the railing and blocks on the sidewalk. Also see the people standing on an upper level the same as the front of the car.

Bad day for someone there.

Lift the back of the car up with a front end loader or bobcat.

Maybe someone teaching their wife to drive their pride and joy? work wink grin
Probably lifted it with an old sling-type tow truck and backed the wrecker up. That's what I would have done anyway. up

Did a couple of tasks like that back in towing days. Worked better than any rollback/flatbed, and those were just coming out back then. Holmes 440 sling wrecker could do many tricks like that damage free.
