The Hog Ring - Family Discovers Only Downside to Convertibles

A German man and his teenage daughter were cruising around in their Renault convertible on Saturday when the unthinkable happened: A trailer full of liquid manure spilled into their car!

Ugh! The disgusting incident calls to mind that classic scene in “Back to the Future,” when Biff and his buddies smash into the back of a pickup truck hauling manure. Only this time, the poo is liquid.
