Sinkholes that swallow cars. No not here !

Toronto sinkhole swallows Jaguar

http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/toronto-sinkhole-swallows-jaguar-1.3017533

Happened in a parking lot while driver was in car. To bad it couldn't have been a Lada or some vehicle that was on it's last legs.

Some April Fools prank ? sure that's what the driver was wishing.

Dude, that's awful...but hey, with the insurance covering the cost of repairs, it's cheaper than taking a trip down to Disney in Florida for the Twilight Tower of Terror ;D

Correct no Porsche but a Jaguar. The result of a broken water main.

The insurance company will likely raise the poor bastard's rates.
