That's a tough pool! Now I wanna see 'em get the jeep back OUT!
Now that's some trouble in River City!
I doubt if he even had someone hold his beer when trying that stunt.
We need a bigger boat, err... ramp. Don't we? We gotta go back for a bigger boa... ramp.
That guy flunked geometry in high school - if he even attended high school, that is.
That engine is toast if it inhaled any water before it shut down. Trans, engine, differentials will all need draining at that point, the pool didn't lose very much water, so that thing is submerged it looks like!
As Bugs would say: "Whatta Marooooon!"
Can't fix stupid!
This is precisely the reason cousins should not have intercourse.
SOOOoooo many fails on this one. I'll just say, who would think a junk (even oak) pallet would support the weight of a Jeep Cherokee stationary, let alone going 25 or 30 MPH??? Whatever was supporting the end of the pallet is the only thing that gave him any loft.
I imagine their intent never was to jump over the pool but rather to drain it while trying to make the draining entertaining. I think they were hoping to have just enough lift to collapse the top of the wall to allow the water to rapidly spill out, but failed to take into account that the water being fluid might rebound forcing the wall back into the upright position once the vehicle had passed over it. Now had they driven just a little slower the wall may have been trapped under the jeep or had he driven a little faster the jeep might have made it all the way to strike the opposite wall with enough force to push it out which would have emptied the pool. But if their intent was to make the jeep go swimming I'd say that feat was accomplished as planned
You just beat me to it!Quote:
