Just cut the cable and all is good.
Actually, he's probably lucky that cable was there or he could have been wrapped around that pole.

WOW! That would suck watching your Vette getting peeled off that line. It would suck even more if it were your parents. That kid looks like it's not his.

He's probably the oil change guy at the local Chevy stealership.

Tomorrow there will be a thread titled "I took my car in for an oil change and now I have these strange marks on the front bumper!!!"

My guess is he was distracted by a hot babe, possibly combined with some amount of alcohol.

It looks to me like the kid is saying: "My dad's going to kill me!"

It also looks like maybe he only got a few feet out of the driveway. That might be a good thing.
