A man with excellent taste in cars but a poor sense of direction ended up damaging his Alpina B3 Touring on a hiking trail in Austria. The 77-year-old German chose to blindingly trust his GPS instead of reading the road signs and listening to warnings from passers-by telling him cars were not allowed on that course. Even though the path got narrower, that didn't stop the elderly driver from advancing, up until there was no room left to squeeze into.
Images released by the fire department from Sankt Gilgen show the performance wagon caught between a rock and a hard place, both literally and figuratively. The Alpina B3 Touring driver was guided by the GPS to this village located by Lake Wolfgang in the Austrian state of Salzburg in the Salzkammergut region. At 2068 millimeters (81.4 inches), the all-wheel-drive speedy wagon from Bottrop with nearly 500 horsepower isn't exactly small.
