Kind of goes with stuck in the Sand or stuck on a snow drift. Can it be the latest vette tricks for TV

Have to hate it for the buyer of the car. You have to believe he or she has been waiting a while to get the ZO6.

Wow I’m sure the owner isn’t too happy about what happened. Wish them luck!

I would also hate to be the guy who put the car up. He/she must feel absolutely terrible. Probably fired too.

Been happening since lifts were invented. Personally have seen it. I have an awesome story about a guy and his GM 2500 and a lift crash like that back in the late 90s (or maybe early 2000s), but way too much to type.
Needless to say, Mr. Clean was pissed and people were scared.

^^^ This... I don't know what caused the car to fall, but for all anyone knows it could have been a hoist failure. I'm glad it isn't my car, but that tech I would assume feels terrible.

We want to "hope" that is the situation. But we all know a few dealers that would put the car in the lot and say you drove it here like that.
