Rock-on: Enormous Chinese Boulder Kills Cars, 400 Cases Of Beer
On a mountain road near Bo Xilai’s city of Chongqing, two boulders got bored and went on a run. On the way down the mountain, the rocks crushed five cars. The bigger boulder, estimated to weigh 200 ton, hit the jackpot:
It hit a truck loaded with 400 yellow boxes of beer. Truck and beer totaled.
According to Carnewschina, nobody died. Which is amazing. 400 destroyed cases of beer can be a distressing and stressing sight.

- Carguy949 You point out that Rivian and Tesla lack hybrids to “bring home the bacon”, but I would clarify that Tesla currently makes a profit while Rivian doesn’t.
- Cprescott I'm sure this won't matter to the millions of deceived Honduh owners who think the company that once prided itself on quality has somehow slipped in the real world. Same for Toyoduhs. Resting on our Laurel's - Oh, what a feeling!
- Jrhurren I had this happen numerous times with my former Accord. It usually occurred when on a slow right curve in the road. Somehow the system would get confused and think the opposite lane (oncoming traffic) was an impending head-on collision.
- Cprescott The Ford Shamaro is ugly, thick bodied, and a Mustang pretender.
- Analoggrotto Speaking of mud, does anyone here enjoy naked mud wrestling?

Lotsa lock!! (Sorry, couldn't help myself) :-P
so if no one died what happened to the drivers of the VW and Citroen? Only other thing I have to say is this, those are big rocks. Glad no one died.
