Some cars have a mind all of their own.

Drivers in the West End of Glasgow, Scotland, were startled to find a Volkwagen resting atop a Fiat 500 on Sunday. The heavy car was quietly -- and dangerously -- suspended between between the Fiat's roof and a wall on Southpark avenue.

The Volkswagen appears to have rolled down a hill from a parked position before landing atop the Fiat.

Thankfully, no one was in the car and there were no reported injuries. Motorists were even able to ogle and take awesome, Instagram-ready photos of the incident before police shut the scene down.

This accident served as a strong reminder to drivers to remember to put on their parking brake -- and to always carry your phone, when accidents like these occur.

It is unclear what destination, exactly, the Volkswagen had in mind.
