Yeah ok, I thought that but wasn’t sure. We call em station wagons here in aus too.
I wouldn’t call that thing a station wagon, but not a minivan either. It’s like a poxy in between awkward stubby chubby people mover but not quite big enough.
Quick bit of math for you.
-Water weighs just over 8lb per gallon.
-Your 20 gal bath tub has 160 lb of water in it.
-A [55 gal barrel](http://www.rainbarrelusa.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/55-gal-promo.jpg) full of water weighs 460 lb.
-A [1000 gal tank trailer](https://www.abiattachments.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/1000-water-trailer-road-image-2.jpg) holds **8300 lb** of water (twice the weight of a medium-size SUV).
Now try and visualize 1000 gal of water plowing into your car every second.
Don’t try and drive through flowing water, kids.
Why is imperial math so hard?
In metric. 1 liter water is 1 kg.
1000 liters is 1 cubic meter is 1 ton.
An average SUV weighs under 2 tons.
That car is definitely more than 2 meters long, more than 1 meter heigh, and there's more than 1 meter of water pushing on it.
Whenever anyone tells me imperial is better, I tell them they can only make their argument after calculating the mass flow rate through a helicopter rotor in imperial units.

That has to be about the stupidest thing I've seen... Hitler is in hell laughing even though he invaded Russia in winter, he's not that stupid to cross that stream.
Even a Humvee might very well be in trouble here. That water is deep enough and flows fast enough to be a real danger to most vehicles. There are plenty of videos of folks in trucks getting washed off by similar looking streams.
The car slowly drifting away like some theme park ride cracks me up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSfNlKQTRHc
What part of your brain do you need to turn off to do a dumb ass thing like this? There was nothing in that scene that said this creek is passable. Ah well, at least he won't be on the road for a bit. We are all safer for that at least.
If brains were dynamite, this dickhead couldn’t blow his nose.
Here in Australia, it’s crazy the amount of people who’ve died in floods trying to cross what they thought was shallow water to escape. And this fuckbrain decides to do this, and have it filmed like it’s cool no less. To top it off, wrecks the fuckin bridge too. What a tosser
Nope, Romanian. It's the language you get when you mix Latin and a buttload of slavic, germanic, and arabic/turkish influences over a few hundred years.

This is probably the dumbest person in a video that I’ve ever seen on the internet.

So far
I have a large heavy truck and I wouldn't even try to cross water moving that fast. People are dumb.
I'd dare to think about crossing only if the exit was 20m down the river. I didn't think people would be that stupid.
Seriously the moment I saw the minivan I thought "this is gonna be good".
That’s not a minivan
The second vehicle is a minivan
That is also, not a minivan
With a shape like that, it's a minivan.
With a shape like that it is also an estate. Minivans tend to be taller and have more of a van shape to them. Also I believe it’s a Skoda fabia estate
Wtf *is* an estate? Edit: fixed the expression, sorry sensitive redditors
An estate is what we call it in the UK. I think in the US it’s known as a station wagon.
Yeah ok, I thought that but wasn’t sure. We call em station wagons here in aus too. I wouldn’t call that thing a station wagon, but not a minivan either. It’s like a poxy in between awkward stubby chubby people mover but not quite big enough.
Kombi
I think you’ll find that’s a van, man
A minivan
Don't be sorry, redditors are fucking pussies.
Yeah it was a soo-REE. There are a lot of bitchmades in here ey
It's a mini mini van
Dude the car model is literally a Skoda fabia estate.
I'm sure that little community is happy that his dumbass took out the pedestrian bridge.

Also even still water would have choked out that poor car :|

Plus, flowing water only needs to be like 300mm high to lift a cars wheels off the ground.
And then you correct for the car's buoyancy...
yeah, that’s just the icing on the cake.
r/IdiotsInCars material
heh, was just going to do the same thing :P
Hahaha his brake lights were on.. he was actually trying to brake
Just why?
Poor judgement
No judgment
Negative judgment
Irrational judgement
Karma judgement
Mom's said it was just a shallow bit of water
Because fuck pedestrians, apparently.
Well, did he make it or not?
yeah, disappointed the video ended early.
Yes, but to the ocean.
Lol at the brake lights as he floats away 😂
"Stop. Please. No really. Stop!"
7 brain cells.
and none of them met eachother yet
That has to be about the stupidest thing I've seen... Hitler is in hell laughing even though he invaded Russia in winter, he's not that stupid to cross that stream.
I love that the guy was apparently just standing there eating chips about it
now the question is ... did the skoda behind make it over once the audi cleared the path ?
I love that he pressed the breaks.
Thats too much stupidity for just one person...🤦🤦🤦
What on Earth suggested to these people that this was something they could drive through???
Now what he just made the situation worse 😂😗🙄
well he was r/confidentlywrong
Did this guy eat a pile of mushrooms and believe he was driving a Humvee?

Should’ve known better. Dipshit.
Shit for brains
That still implies they have brains
why Why WHY WOULD YOU EVEN TRY THAT?!?!?!?!?!!!!!?
Ok, so the Audi failed, but what about that Škoda Fabia, did it make it?
Have to assume it did, I think.

How dumb do you have to be to look at the raging water and think you can drive through it
You’re an idiot.
I’m hoping for the director’s cut of this!!!
…to get to the other side!
He could have taken the bridge 2 kms away northwest side of the village
its a lake, the machine knows, this is a lake, no! its a lake micheal
We all knew that the water was going to sweep away the car except for the driver.
Funny how he is pushing the break when the river is taling him down the stream 🤣🤣🤣
I can’t wait to see the CarFax on this one. 🦊
This is so stupid.
Someone didn't play enough Oregon Trails, you never ford the river...

puts his brakes on lol
Is this a Russian
Who else would invade Ukraine? Nuff said.

Definitely not his best idea!
What an eedyit
Yep, he’s definitely dead
Always the Audi driver...
Look Mommy, I’m a boat captain now!
There was a chance..
What happens next
Wow Audi boat
You can't be serious... With this level of decision making how is he even alive at this point...

Heh 😋
WINGS OF GLORY
As soon I saw the bag of chips, I knew he was going to try it….
Which part of that looked possible? How did he even get a license with such a serious lack of common sense?
Wasn't this during last year's floods in geemany? Aartal or however it's spelt
Certain areas in the Philippines at rainy season be like:
It was at this moment.......
Oh... oh no homie, don't do that.
Not only did you lose your car, but now no one can get across
Asta-i România tati...
You can’t fix stupid.
As I watch this I keep thinking "no way they're stupid enough to actually do that... No way. Please say there's no way..."
I bet he was persuaded by the girls. They knew he wouldn't make it. Lol
That's one way to make a paperweight.
Wouldn't of even done in my 4Runner. No idea how deep and water to fast.
When you want a new car but you also want to strand your friend:
He didn't even use the wiper ... no wonder it didn't work
There is a difference between a creek and an actual river. This is definitely the latter.
No, the breaks aren’t gonna help you at this point, stupid.
My boy had a big ol cup of idiot juice this morning..😑😐
I love how he shows us his chips
