Volvo On top of a camary

Post by Fish stick88 »

Driving through cedar rapids iowa today, middle of downtown, saw a 740 on top of a newer 08 camary. I was shocked as to why it was there, and tried taking a picture but it didnt turn out because of the rain.
Just thought id share, both cars seemed to be in good condition, but as to why one was on the other. No clue...
Speed has never killed anyone, suddenly becoming stationary... That's what gets you.

We had an old man drive through the wall of the drugstore I worked at when I was in high school.
