X5 parking victim given a NEW CAR

Hyundai Canada gave the X5 parking victim (Extreme Fitness) a new Elantra.
'Worst parking job' victim given car - thestar.com

Now why can't BMW Canada give the X5 owner a new X5?

Because she brings bad name to X5. They should take away her X5.

LMAO..why in the hell would they reward her for being an f'ing idiot?!

I don't know how things work in Canada, but it's probably like Overhaulin or Oprah when they're "given" their car. They have to pay taxes on what's it worth. Hyundai is probably taking the car and using it as a display piece to show it's durability against those damn luxury vehicles

Look at it this way....

62 y.o. granny disproves the criticism that X5's are not good for rock-climbing! LOL!

And it didn't need a decorative skid plate to do it! HAHAHAHA

The Hyundai marketing people probably figured they could get good publicity with this.

LOL, I logged on today for the first time in moths just to post that vid :P looks like I was beaten to the punch! But it's nice to see the gift on Hyundai's part.

I can foresee other Hyundai owners purposely parking in front of X5s in the hope that they will get "rock climbed" and a new car off Hyundai.Hehehee

I'll remove my license plates and drive onto your car for a small fee...enough to get a 4.8 bodykit would be perfect

Hyundai Canada really did a great thing - smart business and really did something nice for that guy.
