It apparently rolled during shut down 5 or 6 times, 🤷‍♂️...broke a front body post, took most of the front bumper off, and broke an engine stabilizer rod end, minimal damage considering...it's 10x louder in person, cops showed up shortly after, we just stayed in our car and they finally left

Carload of cops in the same parking lot: "How long are we gonna make 'em sweat before we can go get donuts??"
