Woman learns that a car with a cinder block for a seat shouldn't be trusted

Using a cinder block as a driver's seat not a good idea. Especially if the car doesn't have a brake pedal

A Hilton Head Island woman learned the hard way that a car with a cinder block for a seat should not be trusted.

Just after 9 a.m. Monday, the 51-year-old woman got in the stripped-down Nissan sedan and backed out of the driveway of her Oleander Street home, according to a Beaufort County sheriff's report.

When she applied the brakes, she realized there were none -- the car didn't even have a brake pedal. So the woman jumped out, ran around back and tried to stop the car by pushing against it, the report stated.

The car continued to roll, pinning her against a palmetto tree.

A sheriff's deputy happened to drive by within a couple of minutes and noticed the woman waving him down as she lay near the car on a bike path.

She was taken to the emergency room. Her son pushed the car back up the driveway.

The deputy described the vehicle as completely empty inside, except for the cinder block seat.

At least she's okay.

But seriously, she went into the car and DIDN'T notice this shit?

It's also a very bad idea to have a cinder block for a brain.

I think the cinder block was tossed from an overpass.

I dunno, does THIS look really appealing to sit on? haha.


It looks like it would hurt your ass...and what about back support?
