Basketball hoop fell on my maxima

and all it got was a little black mark on the spoiler. i got sooo lucky. it was probably an inch away from the right side of my car and an inch or so from hitting my trunk. the only part it touched was my spoiler. my dad's car got the paint scratched off the spoiler and some marks on the side. here is a picture of how it landed: http://pics.bbzzdd.com/users/Cooljt1/maxhoop.jpg

copy and paste the url into the address bar or drag and drop it in there

Isn't that a goal tending penalty? ;-)

What did the hoop do? Just randomly fall off? Weird.

Jeez you got lucky! Im guessing it probably fell from wind, since wind usually comes with Rain, and it looks pretty wet out there.

pic is working correctly. if you clicked on it first and got the unauthorized referrer. copy and paste it into a new window and it should work fine.

that hoop is going bye bye. the backboard is cracked so we will disassemble it once the weather clears up.

I'm surprised you got a picture of it...

If I awoke to find a basketball hoop lying on my car, the last thing to enter my mind would be "Let me get a picture of this!"

Holy crap,

sorry to hear the basket ball goal fell on your max.

I would beat the hell out of that basket ball goal too, I would probably start to dislike basketball just because.

yeah ive seen that hoop fall countless times, so i sold it, went through 2 rims, my advice if your getting another hoop, fill it with sand, water is a PITA, cuz itll freeze and crack your base, then itll leak out and then fall on your car.
