Sure it's funny if you weren't trapped inside. I had to wait for hours to get rescued, with only a full wet bar, hot tub, and satellite TV to keep me company. And both bathrooms were out of toilet paper.

I'm asking for my deposit back.

I ordered a limo, not a see-saw!

Hahahahahahaha!

The driver should have known that was going to happen.

Hahahahahaha!!!

I've heard that Hummers are more prone to this scenario, because their wheelbase is so much longer than the old Jeeps.

I wish someone was there to give it a thumbs-down on camera.

Yo, check this out, we'll hook this puppy up with a crazy set of twelve 96 Volt Showtime Competition Chrome hydraulic pumps pushing 16" cylinders front and rear with 4 ton springs! It'll be mad crazy and not only have you off this high-center, but throw in some curb-feelers and you'll be prancing and bouncing circles in time with the music, too!

Well that's what happens when you drive a stretch through San Francisco.

Sierra Club is having a "funny caption" contest - everyone is poking fun at this shot. And sure, the driver is an idiot... but any overstretched limo would've gotten stuck, least of all this truck (Expedition? Navigator? It don't matter).

My thing is, why would we make fun of people carpooling to the prom (or wherever)? They could've all taken their own cars I guess, but these guys spent the money to basically rent a luxury bus, and not DWI.

So maybe we should all lay off the SUV limo? This is one place where a high torque truck engine actually belongs - in a bus. Even if it is a plush one.

By cutting off the top of the original photo, you missed the piece that makes it even better: see the sign on the post on the corner that reads HILL.
