I hope they had seatbelts on.

It was a real stock car, but the driver was the only one racing.

And he got away.

Police in rural South Africa found two cows and two goats being transported in a compact car barely large enough for four people.

The blue Fiat Uno was impounded Thursday after residents alerted police in a town in northern KwaZulu-Natal, the South African Press Association reported.

Capt. Jabulani Mdletshe, a police spokesman, said that when the officers arrived, the driver had loaded the animals into his vehicle and was trying to speed away.

He eventually stopped the car after being unable to outrun the police, and fled into the nearby bushes, SAPA said. The cows and goats were handed over to an animal theft unit.

When I saw the title I thought you were coming up with a picture of a car that was totally smashed in a crash.

I agree. I wish there was a pic. It would be a keeper.

I found this description for your car picture -

"The materials were loaded at Home Depot. The store manager said they had the customer sign a waiver! Both back tires are trashed. The back shocks were driven up through the floorboard. In the back seat were 10 bags, 80 lbs. each of concrete. On the roof are many 2X4s, 4X4s and sheets of OSB. They estimated the load weight at 3000 lbs. The car is a VW Jetta with FL plates and the guy said he was headed for Annapolis."

And I assumed it would be the pic of a plane that had crashed during final approach. Seems like we´re too sick

How the hell could they fit even one cow into a Fiat Uno

A tight fit...
