Street Artist Painted a Road Runner Tunnel On A Wall, Someone Tried to Drive Through It [hoax?]
Inside Edition ^ | Sal Bono

Posted on 03/19/2016 8:36:32 AM PDT by BenLurkin

A Reddit user named “Miss Reb” posted photos she took of a FIAT that drove into a wall painted like a Road Runner tunnel. In fact, there was even a painting of Road Runner beside it.

...

While, the situation happened three months ago, it is just coming to surface now. The exact location has not been determined. Though, a closer look at the images shows that none of the cars photographed have American license plates.

The painted tunnel was one of the more popular of Wile E. Coyote’s stunts he performed to trick the Road Runner and hoping it would smack into it, thus leading to the carnivorous creature’s delicacy.

Once I thought a section of pitch black road in the middle of grey was a collapsed bridge and I actually stopped while doing ~70.

It looked like the highway abruptly ended and an entire slab was missing.

Scared the hell outta me and I stopped to smoke a cig

That’s dangerous. Should have painted it on a canvas at the end of a ramp.

I have a guilty confession to make. On 9/11 When I first saw the impression of the airplane left in the trade tower I thought it looked like a Warner Bros cartoon for a second.

Agree! Another Jerry Seinfeld on the rise? or perhaps Kramer?

This was see some time ago and, personally, it was thought to be not only funny, hilariously so. :-) Foreign drivers!

My husband, his cousin, and I once drove into Missouri from Illinois to set off some fireworks. We pulled off the road onto a dirt drive between two parts of the divided highway. There was a huge puddle of still water covered with a few fallen flower petals. It really looked like newly laid blacktop. Some teenagers came barreling down the dirt road, hit what they probably thought was blacktop but ended up half submerged in water. We quietly backed out and drove away....

Did you see the suggestion of the ROAD CLOSED sign?

I visually saw the barricade when I read it!

Great suggestion!

It wasn’t the brightest idea, to paint a tunnel beside an underpass. It was going to happen eventually.

Wile E Coyote always seemed to have a good open line of credit with Acme Corp.Why didn’t he just order a freezer and a couple of sides of beef?

Everyone complained that the Coyote was a bad hunter, but nobody recognized his amazing artistic talent.
