How NOT to get a small car out of the snow....

Wow! There's another thread running " breaking into a Prius" guess this wasn't intended to be a suggestion.

 

What a bunch of idiots!

With modern unit-body cars, there are few safe places to hook up a tow strap. A strong yank also doesn't help things either.

I've seen morons hook a chain to a tie rod to pull a car or truck out of a ditch. It's good for a laugh.

 

this is a direct quote from my wife upon viewing this. " what a bunch of dumb asses" upon which she turned and walked out of the computer room. Maybe living and driving in snow country years ago conditioned her to view the whole show with some skepticism

I just would like to have heard them explaining it ot their parents.

what you mean were immune from idiots?NOT

 

ya it's a bunch of goofs from British Columbia. Had to go and look at the plate on the van right at the start. Wavy flag in the middle is the give away. If it's from the coastal area you have to realize we get snow so infrequently this sort of idiocy shows thru pretty fast.

 

dupid american cars

 

all speaking very plain english though, well swearing in english.

 

Tony:

You certainly don't have to apologize to me! I've long held the belief that stupidity is endemic, and unfortunately is on the rise. We just appear to have more of it in our political leaders.

Much like how former PM Jean Chretien refused to acknowledge the existence of the "brain drain" in Canada, calling them "imaginary." Then a former Canadian, and a Nobel Prize winner, gave a brilliant speech at Laurier where he told the graduating audience that he was a figment of their imagination. Then he encourage them to take jobs in the U.S.A.

My favorite was how current PM Paul Martin (Mr. Shipping Tycoon Who Doesn't Pay His Taxes) gave a speech for Remembrance Day at one of the remaining Canadian Forces bases, I believe near Halifax. He made the following blooper all throughout his long-winded speech, and you could clearly see the eyes rolling in the background.

PM Martin referred to the invasion of Normandy as the invasion of Norway. Apparently, Norway was an Evil threat but we certainly kicked their butt.

Given the sad shape the Canadian Army is now in, I rather doubt they could take on Norway. Or Bali for that matter.

 

Wow, your wife sounds remarkably cool. I would have loved to see her walk right up to their faces and say that, then drive off.

 

As noted earlier by Evan, didn't it look like there were more than enough guys to clear the snow away and manually push the car back onto the road?

We don't get that much snow in San Antonio, but heck, I would have thought of that!

Thanks for the chuckle. Hope the damage wasn't too expensive!
I'd submit this video as proof that cold weather does indeed slow down brain function! Hilarious!

 

Did these idiots ever think about pushing it FORWARD?? It looked pretty open in the front...
