Mayor crushes misparked luxury car with troop carrier

Mayor crushes misparked luxury car with troop carrierThe mayor of Vilnius, Lithuania was so upset with luxury cars parking in the city's bicycle lanes he held a demonstration to express his displeasure — using a troop carrier to crush a junked Mercedes W140, just like the Soviets used to. UPDATE.

Mayor Arturas Zuokas said he learned how to drive the Soviet BTR to send a message: "I want to point that if you have a car and more money (it) does not mean that you can park it everywhere," he said. How very un-American.

UPDATE: We now have video of the drive, and several shots of the Ferraris and other exotics that put Mayor Zuokas into a crushing mood.
