Car Mishaps That Will Make Every Car Owner Shudder

Avoid Parking Next to a Cactus

This saguaro cactus fell onto a car, and luckily, no one was inside. It's hard to imagine how something so large could just topple over like that. Nature has its own unpredictable ways, and it can be surprising just how fragile some things are.

The bottom of the cactus, near the ground, looks blackened and decayed. So, here's a useful tip for the future: never park near a cactus when you're in desert areas. You never know when one might decide to take a tumble. It's a reminder that sometimes even the most sturdy-looking things can be unexpectedly unstable.
