One victim in the YouTube hit "Worst Parking Job Ever!" found a brand-new car in his parking space Friday.

Todd Jamison planned to take the day off to shop for a used vehicle a week after a driver trashed his 2004 Hyundai Elantra, which he had just finished paying off.

But when colleagues called him into the office on a pretense, he found a shiny 2010 Hyundai Elantra in the lot along with a smiling Hyundai representative.

"She gives me the car," Jamison said in a phone interview. "I am just in shock. I say, 'Thank you.' "

The Oct. 22 security video, viewed more than one million times on the video-sharing website, shows a driver approaching a parking curb at an Extreme Fitness location in Thornhill.

The BMW mounts the curb and charges onto the hoods and windshields of two facing cars, smashing them.

Jamison's car is the one in the foreground. Then the BMW backs up and slinks away.

"We wanted to help the guy," said Hyundai Canada representative Barb Pitblado. "This was our random act of kindness."
