I remember once when I was young and really sick. Drove to the dr's office and when left, I drove over one of those concrete parking stops. Car was high sided, stuck there. Don't remember how I got it free but it sucked.

A few years ago, my son was the manager at a Papa Murphy's location. His area manager told him to take some supplies to another location in town. It was icy that day so he should have told his boss to get bent. But he did it and for some strange reason, rather than taking main streets, he chose to go through an area of town called Potwin. That neighborhood is full of big roundabouts and brick streets (gotta maintain the historical bricks....blah, blah, blah). He came in a little too fast and slid right into the roundabout and totally messed up the bottom end of his car. It wasn't a nice car or anything (can't remember which car he had at the time....might have been the late 90s Nissan Maxima) so it wasn't really worth trying to fix it. But he had called me and told me he wrecked it into the roundabout. So, I came over to check the damage and help him get the car moved out of the way.

While we were trying to get my son's car moved, I could see in the distance another car coming. I started waving my hands in the air trying to get them to slow down but to no avail. We had managed to get my son's car out of the middle of the road right before this but the 2nd car did the exact same thing. Slid on the icy bricks and right into the roundabout. That car was a nice newer Volkswagen Jetta. And right after it hit, I saw oil coming out from underneath. Yeah, he busted his oil pan, for sure. And who knows what else?
Ice on bricks is the worst.
