Clearly it wasn't her fault, though.
funken77
This is what bumpers are for.
Rynestrm
Is he carving a new Palisman? Is that Waffle?

Bruv just directed attention to every automobile obtained in any urbanized location.

The best part of this is that their entire conversation takes place on the Boiling Isles but Luz’s car is (probably) parked in the human realm, so Hunter asked why and Luz probably just went “I’ll show you” before dragging him all the way back to Earth, all the meanwhile elaborating exactly nothing about what she needed his teleportation powers for.

Get out there the french way: Forward - tunk, backward - tunk, forward...

Great use of his ability and fuck the ppl who box you in while parked. I hated that about living in city.
TheFastpaws
I feel like other spells could be used on the cars that imprisoned you.

There is a movie called Jumper (2008) starring Hayden Christensen (anakin skywalker / vader) and Samuel L. Jackson (Mace Windu) It is not the best of movies but is "good" and it asked a very similar question.
DignamWhenAskedaQuestion
I thought it was just pure speed ? Not teleportation ... i don't know now...
bassmidnitro
Burst of speed was my impression as well given that there is a definite motion blur pointing to the destination/from point of origin. To anyone who’s not the Flash it’s a difference of semantics though. Either way the question remains: can he do it to something as big as a car?
DignamWhenAskedaQuestion
That's the thing though if it's speed , it would be a matter of Science . And question could be answered with math and such. But if it's the other....
bassmidnitro
I mean… accelerating to, then decelerating from, speeds indistinguishable from true teleportation within the space of a moderately sized cave or sports field without getting splattered across the surface of the planet sounds pretty magical to me. It’s not technically any more feasible than true teleportation, at least as far as I’m aware!

Parking woes aside, it is a pertinent question. How much control does he need of the thing he's in contact with, and what are the limits?
If there is a limit, or he has to have total, stable control of what he's carrying, he can't help here. If it's just physical contact, however, maybe he could. Thing is, trying could destroy the car, so it is the kind of thing he'd want to experiment with before hand...
wizard07ksu9000
Well in the book Jumper, the MC can only teleport things he can carry. They cannot be restrained by anything. And if he is say hand cuffed to something he can't teleport. There is one scene where he briefly picks up something really heavy and teleports with it while it isnt touching the ground.
So maybe its like that? Or he can teleport anything so long as he has enough mana for the mass?
Taalii
Experiment with the cars that blocked them in
mithiwithi
I... think that's the joke :D

RenaissanceFaireMan
What happens if he can't teleport something?
combatwombat0
Star trek transporter malfunction
DragoWhooves
could he not just pick the car up? I think he's pretty strong
SauronsLeftNut
Strong but no one ever said he was smart.
AlexanderElcazorro
Willow might be able to.
youdontknowmeormydog
People don't consider you can't just pick up a car, the bum per will fall off. There's special spots on the frame for car jacks get that wrong ban crumpled car.
HedonistBeard
The fact that you can't pick them up by the bumper doesn't stop you from reaching under to those jack points and lifting there.
Snooj
He can work it out one side at a time by pulling on the frame.
Pskovinsky
Nah that's a subcompact 80s shitbox, you can definitely lift those by the bumper. That's an era when the bumpers had to actually survive an impact rather then the tissue paper we have now. Source: Have lifted (small) 70s and 80s shitboxes by the bumper.
BlueDsc
The "tissue paper" we have now is what makes car crashes less deadly.
The car surviving a crash means fuck all if the occupant doesn't.
Cinammontoastcrunch
The bumper survived back then but the people didn't. Cars are designed to crumple to protect us, cars prior to crumple zones have a way higher death rate for the same speed as modern vehicles
elvianempire
the main reason bumpers and to a degree, hoods, basically disintegrate nowadays (and even 20 years ago) is pedestrian safety. because turns out, if the bumper is strong enough to survive an impact, the person hit is generally majorly injured or just straight up dead.
FiveShiftOne
It's fully insane that you think crumple zones are bad.
Wolfshead009
There is a difference between wanting armored bumpers that can take out small trees and wanting bumpers that don't collapse when you sneeze on them. I fully understand crumple zones, but I shouldn't cause $2,000.00 in damage to my car if I put my shoe on the bumper to tie my shoelace.
CyberHexx
There are certain people that think their stuff is more important than human lives. We call these people assholes.
Xenarion
Even when crumble zones are mainly to protect the car's own driver/passengers.
3Davideo
Given the position, I don't think lifting the car by the bumper would be possible. Lifting the *other* cars, maybe, but not the one in the middle.
akafluffy
Or just pull the front or back car for a little wiggleroom
DragoWhooves
lift from the undercarriage not the bumber
briham86
Proper car lifting technique:
Snooj
They retconned a whole thing with Superman that when he touches an object his aura surrounds it, keeping it together. Something like that.
celestedrake
And it still is falling apart
Tuomir
To be fair, hitting it against a rock might have something to do with that.
