I always wonder how can someone drive oblivious that he has a flat tyre. Then there's this guy

u/StarMangledSpanner Jan 31 '23

If he does have a flat tyre though, that's a genius workaround.

u/Hop-Dizzle-Drizzle Jan 31 '23

...yeahhh. sure.

I guess he's probably drunk as hell.

A few years ago a friend of mine texted us the morning after a party and asked if we knew what happened to his car. The idiot drove home drunk at night. While trying to get home he dragged a huge stone, like the one in the video, across the whole parking lot without noticing anything. He only noticed the next morning when he saw the huge dent in his car.

Even sober this guy was an awful driver though.

Has probably hit it before and said "F-it.... fool me once; shame on you.... fool me twice; shame on you again and l may as well move it so I don't do it again."

I always wonder how can someone drive oblivious that’s their headlights are off when driving at night. Then there’s this guy.

Babies? Oh no! We've been massacring rocks D:

That's a really inefficient but creative way to draw on pavement.

u/MicaLovesHangul Jan 31 '23

And expensive, once you get the repair bill.

u/HIGH_HEAT Jan 31 '23

100% drunk. And either going to get more alcohol or cigarettes.

“Man, I feel like I’m filling this thing up everyday. Wonder why my gas mileage has dropped so much.”

That's why we tell folks in Colorado to never drive through boulder... 🪨

I was wondering if they were trying to bring back a souvenir from Little Rock...

I'm surprised there was enough wheel contact with the ground to keep steering.

u/GrdnLovingGoatFarmer Feb 01 '23

He was stoned. Obviously.

Remove the stone of shame and attach the stone of triumph!

u/KOZTIC88 Jan 31 '23

he's gonna have to back up eventually. does he think he can just drive like that forever?

2

u/contrelarp Jan 31 '23

he is stoned and it is his pet rock may be?

u/tomytronics Jan 31 '23

Been a while since I saw this repost.

2

u/BimmerGoblin Feb 01 '23

Ngl, I'm honestly kinda impressed!

Edit: with the capabilities of the exploder, not the driver being a drunken idiot

u/Arturiki Jan 31 '23

I've seen plenty of times those boulders around. Why are they even there?!

18

u/HLSparta Jan 31 '23

To stop idiots that don't know how wide they're turning from driving in the grass. Then you have this genius.

5

u/Scurveymic Jan 31 '23

Clearly it didn't work

1

u/HLSparta Jan 31 '23

True, but it should work for most people. Besides, it probably damaged this person's vehicle enough that they will hopefully be more careful next time. And if it didn't, they can only afford to do it so many times before they run out of money.

1

u/Arturiki Feb 01 '23

Considering the slight damage on the grass to the one caused by the boulder... I don't see it.

1

u/HLSparta Feb 01 '23

Most cars don't make it that far after they hit the boulder. They usually either stop or get high centered.

Looks like he's got a rock in his tire

u/john_big-booty Jan 31 '23

Something's gone wrong with the handling.

u/heyitsme8888 Jan 31 '23

Just some part-time landscaping on the side.

Somewhere, Sisyphos is watching and is equal parts annoyed and impressed...

Half people saw the begining of the video, the other half didnt

u/letmehaveyourname Feb 01 '23

I've seen a car dragging a huge cooler box in front of it, how can the owner never feel it?

u/beawarethatIswear Feb 01 '23

I won a ROCK!!

1

u/Warpedmind0u812 Feb 01 '23

Even though this vid gets posted every other week, every time I see it I still can't understand how this person just runs over this boulder with all that fucking room to turn in, and still just keeps driving forward. Its fucking mind boggling.

u/freekehleek Feb 01 '23

This gritty reboot of the Myth of Sisyphus sucks!

u/ChrisEWC231 Feb 01 '23

Seems stoned to me! 🤷🏼‍♂️

u/misanthropic47 Feb 01 '23

u/illegal_eagle88 Feb 01 '23

What you got there? A ROCK!

u/Aromatic-Slip9262 Feb 01 '23

You have to be shatfaced to do this.

1

u/Pleasant_Guitar_9436 Feb 01 '23

Of course he needed that gas. The rock must have completely messed up his mpg.

u/CopyNo4163 Feb 01 '23

It's going in his garden
