Caption competition: when parking goes wrong

We’re not sure our first response to this picture should be ‘Wow, that’s some seriously good Mercedes build quality’.

A 67-year-old motorist had a narrow escape when he reversed his Mercedes C-Class through a brick wall on the seventh floor of a multi-storey car park.

The driver got his foot stuck between the brake pedal and the accelerator as he tried to reverse into a spot in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The Merc smashed through the external wall of the Bank of America multi-storey.

Enter your best caption below. The winner receives our eternal admiration.

And, please, no ‘women driver’ comments.

    Parking senors use the latest ultrasonic technology to aid in ensuring safe parking; just remember to pickup your hearing aid of the sideboard.
