Wonder why the picture below? This bar has been a form of contention in our apartment complex since I moved here. Until this pictured metal bar was inserted about two weeks ago they had always used wood. You'd drive up on any given day and find it broken, splintered, half the board down the lane. People would blow through lacking patience for it to lift. This was cause for constant conversation between my mom and I about the idiots who break it. I noticed that the bar is taking a really long time to come down as the cars ahead of me pass through. So the other day, a small sedan of some sort goes zooming through in front of me, thinking I had plenty of time, I went through too. All of a sudden that evil possessed metal monster comes flying down. We hear this loud thump! I just know this thing karate chopped the roof of my 4Runner in half. Then I hear it again. Oh crud, it hit so hard it bounced up and came back down again. As I look back in my rear view mirrow I see that the metal bar is now bent at the spot it hit the corner of the roof. Uh oh. I wonder if there are video cameras? Will I be in trouble? We park and I look for damage, nothing any more scratched then the rest of my beat up truck. Fast forward a couple days and we drive up and I notice the bar is a lot shorter. I tell my mom, "Well I wonder what idiot broke the bar this time?"
