    If you plow through a snowman with your car, you’re an asshole. If you do it with your brand new sports car, you’re a stupid asshole.

      Let me add one more: he’s done this several times already which is the reason the kids added bricks in the first place.

        Reminds me of my grandfather, these kids kept knocking his mailbox down with baseball bats. After the second time it was hit, he put up a new one filled with concrete. The very next morning there was half a wooden baseball bat on the ground and a dent in the mailbox. They never did it again.

          I’ve heard basically the same story before from a local incident, but with the added bonus of the other side: they used a metal bat and the kid dislocated his arm and was almost pulled right out of the car.

        To make it worse, if they set a boobytrap on purpose that’s illegal ( in in the US) and the kids could be liable.

    Even in case of a “usual” snowman, you can easily crack plastic bodyparts or dent metal ones. This is not GTA, where you just have to remember which items are breakable and which are not

        I can confirm that hitting large objects can sound like hitting straight concrete or cement. I hit a black bear one night when I was going about 70mph on the freeway. Would have sworn some truck lost a load of cinder blocks or something. There was at least one fur tuft on my car.

    Don’t be an ass trying to wreck some kid’s fun. Could just as well do the same if it melted and refroze a bit to turn it to ice. FAFO
