Hey, that was local guy here a few years ago. The cops showed up and wouldn't let him drive it down. Then one thing led to another, and turned out the tires and wheels and stuff were stolen!

yeah, I found the article and it said the cops called a towing company and they chaged him almost $700 to get it off the roof he was kinda laughing about the entire situation untill they handed him the bill.

probably a major in alcohol and a minor in stupidity.......I think the prank was a cool idea but not that safe. the tensile strength of the 2x's holding the roof up were probably not even close to strong enough to hold the weight of the truck.....maybe for moments but not over even a small amount of time. that is why the do not let garage floors be made out of wood members. now if the commons in the roof would have been made of parallam beams or steel it would be a different story. he's really lucky he didn't go threw the roof while he was driving up the roof. but that being said I laughed..... :laugh:

He had to have got extremely lucky and had the wheels right on the 2 X's. You're right, it's a wonder he didn't go right through. It is however funny. I got a good laugh out of it.

looking at that collage prank web site reminded me of a story I heard from one of my professors a few months ago........I think it was in the 70's a group of students got the idea to take a cow up to the top floor of one of the dorm's.......for those of you who have never been around cows, they will gladly walk up stairs but they will not walk down. they had to shoot the cow and have it carried out. the university was pissed.....but I laughed my ass of when I heard it :laugh:
