Default Idiot drivers....

I used to work at Pennzoil 10 min oil change in crannberry for 2 years... in a span of two years 3 people drove into the pit, see we had to guide people over a 3' wide hole in the floor, thats how we got under neath the cars, and a ext cab mazda truck drove into it, woman, a honda civic, he was trying not to stall it, manual, and one other idiot... well i stopped in to say hi to my buddy the other day and asked if there were anymore, he said no. So i get these pics today.





typical idiot... you can see the pit that people had to drive over, you would be amazed the amount of people that got out after pulling in and saying ' oh i didnt even see that hole" OMG....

I always wondered if there were people that do that. It just makes sense that it is bound to happen! I would laugh my *** off!

Yep, these are the people we're sharing the roads with.

Those safety nets are to catch oil filters, parts and debris from hitting the people underneath - not to catch vehicles.

Na, they retract the nets after the car is pulled in, my dad worked at Valvoline, at least up here... they are to prevent people from driving into the pits... it was made of 1" wide nylon webbing.

Oh, ok. Those are completely different from the ones at Jiffy Lube... look more like fishnets.
