hmm interesting, something hit the oldsmobuick hard enough to move the oldmobuick over (you can see the slide marks), and smash it into the explorer and slide that over too! the chevy was parked i think, something hit it and poped it over the curb, you can see 2 skidmarks on the curb. the whole rear of the car is shifter over to the right from the impact, it actually poped the left tail light out.
the buick is the puzzle, as it was hit from the left rear almost dead on, so its either the culprit, or there were two impacts
i'm not sure you're looking for a truck, all of these impacts were at bumper level, or there abouts. maybe something like a police car? its most likely something without painted bumpers or with a bumper guard. prolly big and rwd, its gotta be full frame as this was a BIG hit, they were prolly going 30+ mph to move the olds over like that.
someone is gonna be sore tomorrow

I think the buick was moved. There doesn't seem to be any debris on the ground next to it, aside from the large plastic piece, and there's a black line on the road leading up to the f'ed up rear tire. If that car moved, that rear tire would kinda drag funny, leaving that line on the road.
But for him to go backwards and inflict that much damage, I think the rear of the buick would be messed up more. Maybe it was in the path of traffic after the incident, and the owner moved it?

Ok guys. No more speculation. I know what happened. The driver of the buick is my roommate. He did it. Did all of it. Wrote up his statement to the cops yesterday. Was driving backwards through the parking lot, hit the brown car, momentum kept him going into the monte and knocked that one up. Then he pulled into the parking spot where you see it in the pics. You can clearly see tire marks from the monte to his car. So thats what happened. Period
If that's true, how fast do you think he was going?
