Haha fantastic!

Love how the guys on the right backed off like it was going to explode or something xD

Can survive everything up and to a nuclear attack but gets scuppered by a speed bump. how ironic.

i have some funny paint drying,, wanna watch that?

wow soo funny
Ah technology...
And sure they can't get a Hummer.

Who's flag is stuck on the front of the car?

Supposed to be stars and bars isn't it?

reply to post by Shadowalker


Its an Irish flag, goes down well with 40 million who identify themselves as Irish American, quite a large voting block in the US.

I'm just glad no one has made any "black irish" comments yet. I really get pissed when people throw that term around. Kind of like people misusing the term "Scotch-Irish".



Damn it! I think I just opened Pandora's Box.

Please tell me he'll be stuck in Ireland and won't be able to come to Britain!!!
Perhaps the ash cloud will descend far enough to cover the whole country in time for his visit..

I guess I am just wishing again....

The Beast, eh?

Nice misleading title.

I suppose it was a budget reduction that caused the car to become stuck? Congratulations on finding that video.

"It wasn't the nukes, or the planes, or even Al Qaeda.... it was the curb that killed the beast."

[end scene]

eta> I'd be willing to wager that Obama was in the second car.

Isn't the car he's driving called "The Beast"? And it's in the us political madness forum, not cryptozoology...

he's gonna leave Dublin early cuz of ash cloud, otherwise he might have been there drinkin Guinness all week

reply to post by HedyLamarr


The way that car just came to a dead stop bouncing like that.. makes you wonder just how heavy that car is! Funny video, but they don't show it being unstuck? lol

Shame...

I'm sure that would have improved the world no end

reply to post by Rockpuck


That's what I wondered. How did they get it moving again? Probably all those men lifted the rear end. That thing is a tank, though! The noise it made when it hit!

reply to post by Benevolent Heretic


I know! I'm convinced a leopard tank would have made the same sound if it could have been stopped by the ramp.

Wonder if that car has a changing room...

'KA---CHUNK' From outside the car...

'P-U!' From inside the car...

And no I'm not being crude but come on - with the noise that thing made? I might a had a 'depends' moment too!

peace

If you're walking down the right path and you're willing to keep walking, eventually you'll make progress.
