In the news report, Police "suspect" speed an alcohol a contributing factor.
Well I know, alcohol didn't cause it outright..

But come on....Speed....They only suspect it.......Pfffttttt. So i bet the car was doing 40 when this happend? LOL!

40 x 5, hahaha.

I think that one is a write off.
There must have been some seriously ridiculous speed involved for that to happen. I think it also says something about how much strength there is in the timber frame of a house too. That one survived a lot of force, and stopped a falling car.

Yep, VE SS. They really do fly!

The owners of that house are some of the luckiest people alive, but unlucky at the same time. Having an SS Commodore fly through the roof of your house is certainly rotten luck!
