    Seeing this, I don't want to hear my mutant, post-apocalypse kids say that "there's nothing to do". #detroit

    This = lame.

    Now, winching it back, throwing in an old Pinto engine and driving it off the edge, jumping out onto the floor at the last split-second... THEN I woulda been impressed. #detroit

    I'm still trying to figure out why there is a dump truck, and an old Grumman step van, on the fourth floor of any building. #detroit

    @ppiddy: You'd think the elevator wouldn't be large enough...

    Though this is the Packard factory, and those were some pretty large/hefty machines.

    I still want to drive one of the late Clippers. Love the tail lights/mini-fins on the '55. #detroit

    Well, that was quite anti-climactic. It wasn't much more impressive and pushing a toy truck out of a bedroom window. #detroit

    "Have you ever thrown a dump truck out of a fourth-floor building?"

    Let's face it, if I was one of those kids, I'd relish the opportunity to do that. It was only a matter of time before it got thrown out, seeing as it had been pushed to the side of the building previously.

    Next up: to push that GMC Grumman step van out of the side! And it won't take me four freakin' months like those damn kids. Get a job! #detroit

    "Included a photo of a group of suburb residents and canadians who I found trying to push out this truck from the packard plant's fourth story window last sat. After 8 broken jacks and 3 months of work, they finally pushed the truck out of the hole they made in the building's wall. Then they left after rejoicing at the crash."

    These guys are the worst bunch of hooligans I have ever seen. What took them so damn long and didn't anyone read the weight limit on the jack(s)?? You guys fail at vandalism and at life. There should be a rule. You get two times to pull a stunt like this. Once to try and complete the act and/or figure out why it wouldn't work and the second time to fix what wouldn't work before and get it done. If you can't get it done in two times or less stay at home you annoying wannabe artsty hipster d#&ches. Don't ask me why this is getting me so fired up, maybe its because I am an engineer and I am frustrated they didn't use lever arms properly, maybe because it was shot all artsy and ended up on WSJ (whose damn video kept buffering buffering buffering) or maybe its because they could have used their artsy powers for good and documented the abandoned buildings (I would love to tour those places) in a sweet photo spread instead of for annoying the hell out of car lovers (or maybe just this car lover). Actually it's probably because this is another failed Canadian engineering prank. [in.reuters.com]

    @vwminispeedster, pronounded Si-trow-in: They'd probably make a short film out of this and encapsulate it as a metaphor for the death of the auto industry and the need for green viable sustainable modes of arrrrggggghhhhijusthadananeurysm.... #detroit

    the guy is all bragging about his "real deal" jack! Please... it's just a normal jack!

    They are all full of themselves acting like it's some art or something. When I was a kid breaking crap was just fun we didn't need to say things like "these hot wheels just want to get smashed by this hammer and lit on fire" #detroit
