BMW on GMA ?

fredtoo · 08-19-2005, 10:30 AM

Did I see a Red BMW roll across a side road and almost into the highway on Good Morning America today?

The owner saved it from extinction by diving in and grabbing the handbrake just berfore a tractor trailer passed by.

It was somewhere in VA from the report

What!?! If only you could watch the clip on the enternet, I guess I missed it for good then. Its good thing that our fellow E-90er knows how to drive from the sound of things!

Kinda reminds me of the VW Jetta ad where dude dive bombs a shopping car that is rolling for his ride.

That's an awesome clip! Man he really risked personal injury going after the car like that... imagine he wasn't able to stop it in time and it rolled in front of those trucks with him still halfway in like that, ouch!

Yeah seriously if he was a little late, him and the bimmer would be toast with those trucks coming.
