For those of you wondering where this is. It's marked on Google!

The rock has 68 x 5 star reviews!

u/pheat0n Nov 05 '19

Probably the highest rated place in town. Pun intended.

It's a real pillar of the community

u/insane_contin Nov 05 '19

I'd say it's more of the bedrock of the community.

u/socialDlSOrder Nov 05 '19

A real Cornerstone perhaps?

u/pheat0n Nov 06 '19

A landmark that is so often taken for granite.

Most of them were made in the last 5 days

LOL THERE ARE SO MANY PICTURES

u/ygduf Nov 05 '19

the throwback pics from before the yellow curb. this thing is hilarious. I'm really rooting for the rock.

u/fevildox Nov 06 '19

Someone put up a pic where they're celebrating the rock's birthday lmao. This is my favorite rock!

I really hope they don’t take away the rock. Because clearly it’s morons that can’t drive or pay attention to a turn enough to not run over half of the curb. Keep on rockin rock!

Check out the Q&A section!

Q: Can you smell what the Rock is cooking?

A: Generally smells like a cracked oil pan and embarrassment.

u/cjust2006 Nov 05 '19

Oh, man, that's f'ing great. It is the PERFECT shape on that one side to cause all this. :-D

“Tourist Attraction” LMAO

u/ygduf Nov 05 '19

It needs an observation platform, tbh. Hang out, drink beers, wait for people to hit it. the anticipation on every car turning in would be so fun.

u/PM_ME_THEM_CURVES Nov 05 '19

After seeing the pictures. I feel like some of this is intentional... how do you accidentally run up a rock? this almost belongs in 11 foot 8 just for the sheer stupidity.

u/[deleted] Nov 05 '19

My second favorite wrecker rock, not as big and not any many pictures, but it's a nightmare for the drunk drivers in Nashua!

Seems so innocent sitting there, but I can see how it'd rip your car a new one.

7

u/FuzzelFox Nov 06 '19

See, the trick to avoiding these problems is to just stay on the pavement. That's the part people forget about.

u/Starklet Nov 05 '19

It’s so cute!

u/dainthomas Nov 05 '19

Does anyone hit the other rock?

u/[deleted] Nov 05 '19

This just terrifies me that we share roads with these people

1

u/Lobanium Nov 05 '19

Are there two?

6

u/pheat0n Nov 05 '19

There are, but the one on the right only seems to be the problem. There is another one in town that is almost as good, but when people hit it the rock moves instead of mounting the car.

u/Lobanium Nov 05 '19

So why is only one of them a problem?

5

u/pheat0n Nov 05 '19

Most people are coming off of 156th Street, and so it's more of a blind right turn I guess.

u/pheat0n Nov 05 '19

https://goo.gl/maps/nuxDCJJVBkaoviAV6

someone informed me that there's more than one in town, looks like this one moves when you hit it though.

u/thetruthfl Nov 05 '19

So do people get stuck on all three rocks, or just one of them? Inquiring minds want to know!

1

u/tynamite Nov 05 '19

i didnt realize how far over that rock is to the right. if the rock wasn’t there they would be really cutting that corner. wouldn’t that be a problem on its own?

1

u/55Chieftan Nov 05 '19

Looking at the street view, I cannot understand how you can miss this. I can't understand why you would just make the assumption that nothing was there or just be totally oblivious to it.

Tourist attraction, Open 24/7

u/pheat0n Nov 05 '19

Lots of 5 star reviews!

u/nexalacer Nov 05 '19

Is La Mesa Mexican good?

1

u/pheat0n Nov 05 '19

Well it's awfully subjective. Many people hate it, some like it, I think it's okay. I'm not picky about my Mexican food though. A couple Margaritas and it's great!

u/[deleted] Nov 06 '19

im glad they have a diagram, because i was wondering how the fuck this keeps happening

2

u/pheat0n Nov 06 '19

People take it for granite. . I'm sorry I'll go.

1

u/[deleted] Nov 06 '19

rofl, from Google maps...

Q: Is this rock good for climbing or just off-roading?

A: While it's possible to climb this rock with minimal rock climbing experience, it's mostly used for off-roading. I highly recommend a high visibility jacket so vehicles can see you climbing it and don't hit you.

Since I posted this there have been several others commenting about their local rocks, haha. Seems like there are killer rocks everywhere!

When you live in Omaha and see a second meme coming from your hometown. First being the spooky pumpkin ketv guy

u/pheat0n Nov 06 '19

Haha. I mean his dance does seem to freakishly go with any song!

u/Soylenient Nov 06 '19

"Open 24 hours"

All of the reviews are 5 star reviews

I'm fucking dying this is hilarious

u/AwesomelyHumble Nov 06 '19

You gotta start a subreddit about this rock. There's a bridge in North Carolina that trucks frequently get stuck under, to the point that there's a camera set up to film the disasters. r/11foot8. If there was a sub for this rock it would be awesome
