Snowpocalypse leads to automotive carnage in Pittsburgh

As a follow-up to our Brooklyn Snowplow footage, enjoy this video which illustrates Newtonian laws very clearly in action!

I found the above video eerily reminiscent of this vehicular mess that occured a few years back in Portland, OR under similarly icy conditions.

Again, thankful the Alfa is safely ensconced in its garage for the winter!

Snowpocalypse leads to automotive carnage in Brooklyn

The heavy snowfall in New York City has actually proved too much even for some of the city's finest snow-clearing equipment. Watch as a massive front-loader flails around like a wounded lobster, causing severe damage to a luckless Brooklyn resident's SUV this morning.  I think the incompetent tow truck and front-loader operators might have done well to just dig the damn thing out by shovel!  I feel bad for the owner (though he/she will no doubt be compensated by the city) but the video is pretty hilarious, and we can mark one more SUV off the road! (Warning: salty language and mechanical brutality)
