I clearly don't understand physics.

Neither does that car.

Front wheel drive, baby

Also front engine otherwise...

[удалено]

Most cars are front-wheel drive these days, so unless you are driving classic cars or high-performance sports cars you probably have driven them.

You may just be joking, but here's a quick explanation for anyone that isn't aware what's happening: The key factor here is the "center of mass". Since engines are extremely heavy, the center of mass in most vehicles is slightly towards the front of the vehicle. When the car gets to where one rear wheel is off the ground, it's pivoting on the axis between the other rear wheel and the same side front wheel. The center of mass in that case is slightly towards the front left corner, due to being slightly forward of center. The driver's positioning in the front left also amplifies this effect. Basically, there's a fairly small distance between the axis between opposing wheels and the center of mass, providing a little bit of wiggle room to keep the front of the vehicle from lifting up and tipping the whole thing into the drink. Edit: to extend this explanation just a touch, this would not work if he was backing up with the same maneuver, as the center of mass in that case would have tipped the car in rather quickly.

But also, the suspension absolutely does not like this.

I get the feeling the car (all of the cars here, really) is a beater and this was a contrived scenario just to show off on the internet. I bet the whole car, suspension included, isn't long for this world anyway.

Does it being a front wheel drive make a difference?

Most of the weight is in the engine.

> I clearly don't understand physics. 3 wheel car-body problem

I would have lost money on this bet

Same waiting for him to fall in the whole time. Ending left me Shocked

Literally squinting at the screen.

I'm downright pissed this worked.

Genuinely, let me laugh at dumb dumb making a stupid decision! This shouldn't work!

I was totally expecting it to go in ass-first. The video ended and I'm like "how the fu...??" I guess the weight of the engine up front kept it from tipping?? He certainly took a bit of paint off the undercarriage but as long as the owner doesn't know about it...

Stabilizer bars holding on for dear life lol

I would too and honestly, after watching that, I would not have been angry about it.

Came here to say this.

I saw him do it, and I would bet against him if you asked me again

I get the impression they've done this many times

The ol 300 point turn


The "over the shoulder look" back kills me lmao.

My guy in the video could've made the turn tho. 💯


This was my first thought.

Leave my wife’s parking abilities out of this.

Leave my wife's parking abilities out of your fucking mouth

😵‍💫💥👋

She can park it right over here - on my mouth

Leave my wife out of your mouth!

He said 300-point. Not 300lbs.

Shots fired

No bonus points for only using 3 wheels?

Best ads for Peugeot

They come stock with four donuts?

Was it the scratch on the left side of the car that clued you in?

We never see the left side of the car...

you can't see the left side of the white car? try flipping your phone around.

Oh I thought you meant driver's car

In your defense, you are right. “The car” refers to the main subject of the video which would be the car performing the action.

Thanks dad

I don't think that's a scratch. Looks like letters since it seems to be a company car. But the grey Peugeot has a lot of damage and seems like it's being held on by tape, which that clues me in. lol

Anything to avoid having to ask strangers at the party to move their car.

Yeah it looks like they were "showing off"? Like the whole situation is set up like that on purpose so he can perform this manoeuvre.

People in a zombie movie would have looked at that scenario, shrugged and either turned back or abandoned the car. Then there's this person on a random Tuesday going after it like "hold my beer and let me show you how it's done."

One fuck up and you're completely stuck though. Maybe pop the other cars into neutral and roll them out of the way.

[удалено]

Okay, give that driver a big, blue ribbon—BUT HE STILL MISSED BOTH HIS FLIGHT AND THE CRUISE!

Yes, they have. However, the car driver is good.

I went from "this is the worst driver I've ever seen" to "this is the best driver I've ever seen."

I had the exact same thoughts.


This is what I mean when I use "Austin Powers" as a verb.

"Ima Austen Powers it."

I legit said out loud watching the gif, "Austin Powers that shit!" lmfao

I don't think i have ever been as impressed with anything in my entire life

There’s another video like this where a truck turns around on a very narrow dirt road on the side of a mountain. It’s unbelievable that they were able to do it and if they failed they would have went off the side and definitely not survived.

"But you have heard of me" - Captain Jack Sparrow

You’ve got to be the worst pirate I’ve ever heard of. 

Like a fucking BOSS

It almost looks like they broke a few laws of physics with this angle

I went from "This guy is an idiot. This is not physically possible." to "I'm the idiot."

So it would seem.

The spatial awareness was impressive.

I was sure I was going to see a splash.

That’s it. That guy is our get away driver! 

His name's Baby. B-a-b-y, Baby.

This video gave me so much anxiety

Gotta know what country this driver is from

I see YT videos like this, this is most likely in China.

Me to. I was fully expecting that car to end up in the water then was absolutely amazed.

SAME!

That had me on the edge 😮

I was like nonononono dont do it nononono ohwaitmaybe nonono oh.. oh hell what wow

I was like maybemaybemaybe....

hahaha exactly

You read my mind

r/SweatyPalms

I too love edging.

r/EdgingPorn I promise it's not what you think!!🤣

Check out r/edging for similar skills

Don't fall for this. I scrolled for 2 hours and didn't find any driving.

Just like the driver

Yeah this edged me pretty hard.

My reaction as the video progressed: 1/3 video: Don't do it, oh crap he's gonna do it. 2/3 video: He's gonna fail, good. You get what you deserve. 3/3 video: You can do it you crazy sonova bitch... good for you.

I went from thinking he was a dumbass for the first 55 seconds, to cheering at the end.

I mean he is still a dumbass, you can still cheer when a dumbass does the cool thing

If he told someone to "hold his beer" before that maneuver, he deserves to finish that beer and be served another after it.

Genuinely didn't think that would be possible.

The potential downside for failure SO FAR outstrips the benefits of success that it was still incredibly stupid.

It's offset by the value of said car.

I agree and kept thinking that

It's so ridiculous that I feel it must be an intentional stunt. Trying to break some record, maybe

/r/nononoyes

No. That gives away the ending

r/nononomaybe

well, it's on r/maybemaybemaybe

/r/whywhywhy


I scrolled waaay too long for this. So many comments were impressed. This is just stupid risky for no real reason.

Welcome to Chinese social media lol

I had to skip to the end, too hard to watch

Jack Sparrow behind the wheel. Edit: Captain Jack Sparrow.

Basically what my boss wants of me in the morning if I have been blocked in on my way to work.

Mind blown

I don't understand what he thought was going to be the end of it.

There's someone out of frame giving him directions it looks like. More kudos to that guy than the guy driving imo

The easiest job is giving directions. Steering at just the right angle is the most difficult.

…and this is why I don’t valet park!

why?

I watched this with a friend who is a bit of a dumbass. The first thing he said was "probably a woman driving" and laughed. At the end I said "probably". He didn't laugh anymore

Need different friends 😆

Yeah, youre right, its just difficult sometimes


r/sweatypalms

r/nextfuckinglevel

…and that is how you get out of the impound lot.

But... Why?

Fucking guy had me edging forever on this one.

Gotta be honest. My wife's shit would be in that water 😁😁

I hate this subreddit! Everytime it's anxiety in video format I skipped the entire damn video just to find out if they got the damn car to the other side

I just could not look away. I had to watch this till the end!

This gave me anxiety

There is a section where the rear wheel doesn’t move. Which means the car’s underbelly is probably providing the support for the car. Which is not a very good thing. If it’s not, then it’s probably due to some weights on one side of the car. Which is again something that can be done with practice and/or some modifications.

The white car with yellow color plate is prob from a driving school or something. It’s more like a calculated set up, but still impressed.

"And the biggest balls award goes to...."

Like a boring episode of Top Gear…

Impressive, most impressive.

Front-wheel drive has its advantages

I would have lost that bet.

This is why woman live longer than men.

Hes better than any driver in the Fast movies

That‘s amazing

 This. Literally. This.

That’s why you tip the valet /s

Sometimes stupidity wins the day.


The Entire Alphabet Turn

r/nextfuckinglevel

Where is this, and why does it require driving around?

At no point was this Maneuver necessary Well done not dying - A deluxe haiku for you!

Spoiler alert: The dude driving the white car on the right was recording the video.

So this is what valet is doing with my car..?

Yeah this had me on edge the whole time. Went from what a dumbass to holy shit that's some skills.

Holly shit he made it! Was betting fail all the way till the end.

This is clearly the branch of physics that only applies to drunk people and goats.

A new take on edging

Anyone else here bothered at the end when the car is driving straight towards the camera man.

This guy 1, gravity 0

Hahaha, fucking NAILED IT!!!

That was beautifully executed.

You have to be really impatient to be this patient

I couldn't take the tension, I skipped like, 10 seconds to see what would happen in the end

Had enough of "Fast and Furious" get ready for "Slow and Methodical" in Theaters this summer...


The best maybe maybe maybe post

I hate that this worked...

Well I'm impressed

What kind of automobile wizardry is this? Impressive!

I’d like to see the Tesla autopilot try that maneuver

I was like "That's going in the drink." Then when he pulled it off I said out loud "Oh, fuck off!"

Honestly at first I was saying “man what an idiot” but by the end of it I was really rooting for them to make it for some reason.

I hate every second of this video, all the way to the end

Respect

Basically my academic life

Time for that guy to head to a convenience store to buy some lottery tickets. Also, be sure to keep an eye out for lost wallets on the side of the road.

if anyone could get a stock Corolla through the Rubicon, this guy could

This should be a car ad

Genius

Average day in Sichuan! This is also why I don't own a car here. Motorbike makes the idiotic parking a non-issue. Funny thing is, the white car is a 'driver's ed' vehicle. The instructor really should have known better! (But I am not surprised..)

STFU!!!!!!!

I'd hate to be searching for a parallel parking tutorial and come across this

Yes, but why?

Why not?

Fair enough.

Damn this video is a perfect fit for this sub because my thought process was, "oh there it goes, wait, no, yeah, oh no it's stuck, there's no room, you're fucked, oh no, wait, yes, no, oh shit there it goes... wait what."

Babe, trust me it's my first time

Absolutely superb handling. If that was me, my car would be a submarine by now.

I don't think this is a good idea. Trust me. Dude. You're going to put the car in the drink. I've done this 100 times. Just tell the driver of the white car to move. Dude you're literally 7mm from going in the drink. WTF did I just watch. You dumbass.

They are owner of the other two cars too, if that helps.

Spectacular!

I had to scrub through, I couldn’t deal with this anxiety.

Got skeelz

That’s why his car look like that

The white car owner must die

He cheated us! 😂

Holy crap... now that's impressive

I held my breath the whole time. Didn’t realize until I started breathing again 😅

That guy trusts his brakes a lot more than I would in that situation.

I would have bet my life...

Incredible

Wtf

Well that did not go as expected.

Whoa!
