I suppose it could happen, but I've seen cars on cinder blocks, in someone's
front yard, for DECADES and the blocks haven't crumbled yet.


Some folks have mistakenly/wrongly placed or stacked blocks on their
side. They should collapse; almost immediately with a car lowered to
the block.

Front yard cars for decades are called "yard ornaments"
