    If you plow through a snowman with your car, you’re an asshole. If you do it with your brand new sports car, you’re a stupid asshole.

      Let me add one more: he’s done this several times already which is the reason the kids added bricks in the first place.

        Reminds me of my grandfather, these kids kept knocking his mailbox down with baseball bats. After the second time it was hit, he put up a new one filled with concrete. The very next morning there was half a wooden baseball bat on the ground and a dent in the mailbox. They never did it again.

          I’ve heard basically the same story before from a local incident, but with the added bonus of the other side: they used a metal bat and the kid dislocated his arm and was almost pulled right out of the car.

        To make it worse, if they set a boobytrap on purpose that’s illegal ( in in the US) and the kids could be liable.

      Same type of person would drive through a pile of leaves not thinking if there were kids in it.

        I don’t agree with driving into snowmen, especially if they’re not in the street.

        Sometimes you can’t avoid leaf piles tho.

          Many kids play in leaf piles, even in the street.

      Even if it was just a snowman, that would damage your pretty car.

        This was my thought, you don’t need cinder blocks in the way. Ice is hard and heavy, that shits gonna fuck up pretty much anything but a bulldozer or tank.

          Knew a guy who tried to drive through a snowdrift, totalled his car due to the ice buried in the snow

      I’d have thought a snowman would do a fair bit of damage to a car anyway.

        You could just use water to make the surfaces hard ice and it might be enough to hurt a front bumper.
