Woken up last night.

You've got your loadings wrong.
Plus they have to sustain things like wind loads...they're rather large forces.

Isn't wind load etc spread across a wider area whereas this, especially at the corner of the car as it's turning out and facing the road, would be a more concentrated load? Has been a while since I've done the maths.

It's concentrated at the corner of the building, close to the ground.
You're going to have low bending moments. Low shear. Dynamic loads are low as there's no velocity behind the car.
You've also got to keep in mind that it's not the weight of the car acting on it, it's opposition of the frictional forces from the tyres.
 
The rear didn't get any closer to the wall and on the way 'down' the car had turned beyond parallel to the house only touching on the front drivers wing.

There was no thud on the way down - to indicate any concealed damage. ?

The guy did have car insurance too, even if you chose not to exercise it. ? just realised you can ckeck this, if you have cause, on the midb.
 
Jesus Christ, there is a lot of really questionable intelligence in here. As I said, from very early on, nothing more needed than a few ropes and a good anchor car. X5 wouldn't have been my choice but hey.

Q) Why didn't the house fall down?
A) Because it's a house with nothing more than a car parked up against it

Q) Why did the wall not exploded when the car was taken away
A) Because it's a house with nothing more than a car parked up against it

Q) Why was there not damage to the wall when the car was taken away
A) Because it's a house, and in this instance, when you move a car with it's wheels turned, the rear of the car tends not to move forward, it follows the wheels. The angle of the car has nothing to do with it's relation to the wall when the wheels are being turned, otherwise I'd scrape my car every time I left a multi storey car park next to a pillar.

Q) OMG THE LOADS / SPREAD AND WIND LOAD
A) Play virtually no part in this. The weight of the car is on the ground, not the wall.

They were just simple questions with simple answers. Are you such a drama queen in other aspects of your life?

I suggest you step away from the keyboard and chill out. Take a deep breath or something. Seek out a silent retreat for a week.

I would have smiley face emojid my post if common sense and a teeny weeny bit of brain power hadn't let you and so many others, down.
