Between A Rock And A Hard Place: German Driver Gets Sports Car Stuck On Boulder

German Driver Gets Sports Car Stuck On Boulder

Playing driving games like Grand Theft Auto, you can occasionally find your vehicle snagged on a tree or a branch or a rock. In real-life? Not so much - unless you're Helmut Schmidt from Hagenburg, Germany, who managed to do the latter in a spectacular fashion.

The 25-year-old sports car owner managed to get his Honda convertible balancing on a boulder after his vehicle span out of control - before revolving three times on the tarmac and lodging atop a rock lying on the side of the road.

As for why there was a boulder there in the first place - well, that's down to the nearby homeowner's taste in outdoor ornaments, with the boulder just lying there as a piece of art as you enter the driveway. Artsy - and highly frustrating for Schmidt.

At least the rock wasn't as big as this one, a gift from one Canadian man to his ex-wife, or this mega-boulder, which made an unexpected entrance into a New Zealand man's home during an earthquake. The put-upon Kiwi's pet name for his pet rock? Rocky. Of course.
