They knew they could do it before they started trying. That level of skill doesn't just appear all of a sudden. They've done this kind of thing before.
My 80 year old mother let her driver's license expire without telling us over a year ago and has to start the entire process over to get a new license. I'm going to teach her this move for when she re-takes her driver's test with the instructor ridealong.
The secret is that a huge chunk of the weight is in the engine. The car will balance with one back wheel off the ground. It would flip in if you tried with the front wheel.
The driver sitting on the correct side of the car also helps provide some wiggle room.
They should make you do this exact thing as the final final test of driving ed and if you manage to do it they give you the super driving license that lets you run police vehicles off the road when they try to pull you over
I secretly want this to become one of those viral ticktock trends. Where kids take their parents cars and try to pull this off. Of course many will not quite..make it happen.
First few seconds of the video I thought "this must be China" - people do a lot of dumb shit here. Watched to the end for confirmation. Sichuan province in case you're wondering (川 on registration plate)
The vast majority of the weight is in the front of the car (the engine). For the back quarter to drop, it would have had to lift the opposite front corner, which was too heavy.
Was this a road or a driveway where they were parking for a party? I’m curious about the urgency of this kind of move or that he wanted to desperately park closer to whatever was going on.
I had a front wheel drive Camry years ago and the front wheel drive saved my stupid ass. My friends and I went on a desert trail and got the car stuck, had to back it up near a ledge that led to a drop of several feet. My rear wheels went over the edge just barely and I thought we were done for but the front wheel drive saved us haha this vid made me remember it
Isn't that a Peugeot? That tells me everything I need to know. I always thought that Peugeot is French for "Lemon."
BTW, I had one for several years. Blech.
Love the comments "what a genius"... no.. that was just stupid! Find a clip with audio and I you'll hear that car bottoming-out like 8 times, I promise you broke something!
Nooo, this was dumb. The execution was just perfect.
They knew they could do it before they started trying. That level of skill doesn't just appear all of a sudden. They've done this kind of thing before.
Annoying reminder that getting it right in the past does not mean you can't fuck up this time
I mean yeah but like, skill looks like luck to the untrained eye. This guy knows what he's doing
And there’s no sound to the video and his window is open. I’m sure they were yelling rehearsed commands to him
Fair
Gosh I'm starting to suspect those other 2 cars were not randomly placed there...
It's always the same annoying neighbor.
The less people know, the more certain they are.
>They've done this kind of thing before. You mean this is not just a low gravity corner?
Dude rolled a natural 20 with disadvantage.
Maybe. Video has no sound but I wouldn't be surprised if something got a little "pinched" in the under-carriage of the vehicle during this operation
>Nooo, this was dumb. The execution was just perfect. You mean this is not just a low gravity corner?
Nextfuckinglevel and whatcouldgowrong are literally based on the outcomes
What about things that cant go that horribly wrong, like speed cup stacking? 😅
Think there was one where someone solved a rubik's cube fast. He stood up and had an erection!
Does a sub-10 solve not just make you wanna freak? 😂
Is this it? https://www.reddit.com/r/gifs/s/GAOzJgG4cU
If you’re learning cup stacking something has already gone horribly wrong in your life. /s
This is really more r/sweatypalms territory IMO
Me, as an introvert, finding a way to not have to ask someone for something.
Gosh I'm pretty sure that problem solving skills are my speciality specifically because I don't want to involve anyone else
That sounds more like social anxiety.
Also known as Introvert Premium ™️
I learned a lot from youtube or the internet lol
Fellow introvert trying to park as far away as possible from other cars and managing to make it look this difficult
I feel seen, here. I just don't want anyone to look at me.
Doesn’t take a genius to move the other cars
Apparently it doesn't take the opposite of a genius either.
My 80 year old mother let her driver's license expire without telling us over a year ago and has to start the entire process over to get a new license. I'm going to teach her this move for when she re-takes her driver's test with the instructor ridealong.
Gotta expedite that inheritance somehow!
80 year old... Are you sure she should be driving? Sounds like she needs a driver and not to be one, just saying.
My grandparents are in their mid 80s, still perfectly capable drivers. Age effects everyone at different rates.
That day is coming, but until it does, it's good for her to fetch her own bananas from the store 3x per week.
it will be a little tougher to pull off with someone on the passenger side. Wear a life jacket.
I think genius is a bit of a stretch. And just because it didn't end badly doesn't mean it was not stupid
Didn't end immediately badly. They definitely damaged some parts of the car
idk if i'd call this "nextfuckinglevel" but I would definitely call this "prettyfuckingdumb"
I was thinking “onthesamelevel”
That front right tire is going to die young.
Will last longer than the car
That was the most stressful thing I've watched in a while
Next fucking level of stupid. Dude most definitely fucked up the underside of their car.
Watched it 3x, somehow expecting a different result. Cheers to the genius.

There might be a few cars underwater from the practise runs.
Is this the parking Olympics ?
This should be a tv show where couples have to do this together without getting mad at each other
not shown: the abysmal state of his control arms and subframe from using them as though they were McDonalds trays.
The condition of the car tells me that this wasn't his first rodeo.
I’m no car expert but that can’t be good for the cars suspension
Folly that succeeds is folly nonetheless.

This guy perfectly understands that you only need three legs to make a table
Only morons think the description is true.
Next level underbody damage.
Carkour!

Impressive!

Good thing they had those Cordies to counterbalance the overhang.
The camera man looks like he got run over at the end
Reverse moving sofa problem
This is another example of it's stupid but it works, it's still stupid.
That car's alignment is fucked
Car parking spaces really are in high demand.
First few seconds of the video I thought "this must be China" - people do a lot of dumb shit here. Watched to the end for confirmation. Sichuan province in case you're wondering (川 on registration plate)
Also have to factor in skill, and risk/ reward judgement skills too. Doing something idiotic, but having it turn out fine is not smart, that’s luck.
Not what I expected. How did the rear quarter not drop in? More weight shifted to the driver's rear? Not that it matters much...I'm never trying it. 🤣
The vast majority of the weight is in the front of the car (the engine). For the back quarter to drop, it would have had to lift the opposite front corner, which was too heavy.
Ahhh, science. Makes sense, thanks.
The Jetta is getting hit idc
I think they did the math beforehand
nextfuckingrepost
It was a rental anyhow
The first time I saw this, I didn't think the guy stood a chance!
Was this a road or a driveway where they were parking for a party? I’m curious about the urgency of this kind of move or that he wanted to desperately park closer to whatever was going on.
Yeah no. What you’re saying is just hindsight bias. This decision was still ill-advised
/savevideo
I also drive a Peugeot 508 I wouldn't subject my exhaust pipe to that though
Bruh…
This gave me too much anxiety for what it’s worth.
My mouth literally dropped. I’m still in disbelief. Stupid, but salute for the top tier execution 🫡
This is the 3rd car that they tried this with, the other 2 are in the water off cam.
This gave me a panic attack just watching this insanity.
Not his first time
No the smarter person makes only high probability of success decisions even if that outcome is failure. We only ever have probabilities not certainty.
There must be a post including this car on whatcouldgowrong given the way it looks
Respect!
Seems like - Dumb Luck.

Castetoo live
Anyone else's reproductive bits recede into their bowels whilst watching this?
As long as you have 3 wheels on... 
Now do this in BMW
He must have had cameras on the front and on the wheels. No way he could judge those adjustments blindly
They literally set this up to make the video, and with crappy car in case it went south.
Wow!!! 👏 that was impressive AF
Amazingly more concerned with hitting the parked car then airmailing their own. Is absolutely stupid but begrudging respect.
That was intense 😄
Um what happened to the person filming in the end? Are they okay?
My only goal in life no is to get rich enough to be able to hire this man as my driver.
At that point just get half a dozen strong guys to lift the trunk and rear tires to get aligned
Tires are oddly narrow
And that kids is how I met your mother.
F me I didnt think theyd do it
Look at the hood on the damn thing. They don’t care about that one lol.
Isn't that a Peugeot? That tells me everything I need to know. I always thought that Peugeot is French for "Lemon." BTW, I had one for several years. Blech.
lucky any tires didn't pop.
I was ready to type, “the car is now aquaibious
Just park on the street. Geez.
At 1:08 is the widest my eyes have ever opened.
Only worked for front wheel drive?
There's zero chance I'm doing that 😳
That three wheel motion
I don’t even wanna hear that man got skills
So, Danny MacCaskill finally got his driver's license?
No sound to hide the dragging noise under the car.
they have a ton of videos like this "teaching" how to get out of stupid situations like this one
Naturally this was done in a Peugeot.
What is this scenario and how does it exist in real life.
Just another day a valet parking.
Папич
This was definitely dumb. Just did something dumb carefully
Don't do this with RWD
Should have done the turn in reverse
You did it! You really did it!! You bastard!
They must work at a used car dealership with those skills.
Or just back up
" The only difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has limits "
Better quote "Intelligence starts from stupidity".
This gave me so much anxiety.
Car be like: I hope the fuck you know what you doin.. Driver : I got you
Brought to you by Peugeot
Idk still liked pretty stupid to me.
Manual or automatic transmission?
But you could just drive in reverse...
How the fuck
Stfu, I have literally had nightmares like this
Haters will say it's fake
We'll ignore the fact that seemingly he immediately decided to run down the cameraman
r/maybemaybemaybe
I:m wondering if they put weights or a big dude on one side of the car so the rear tire doesn:t fall in while tripod-ing
Let's be honest, this was not their first time doing this. I'm will to bet they've done this at least 100 time already.
Definitely isn't genius or skill. This isn't hard in the slightest. The water is just forcing your perspective of danger if the person fails.
Nonononononononoyes!
Bro is an elite player of dr driving
Would that have possible without the front wheel drive?
3 wheels on solid ground all the time. This is the secret
One of my biggest fears is to get trapped in a car upside down underwater, thanks for the anxiety. Ha.
RIP tires
Love the comments "what a genius"... no.. that was just stupid! Find a clip with audio and I you'll hear that car bottoming-out like 8 times, I promise you broke something!
There's a fine line between bravery and stupidity. That line is called success
He honestly didn't even need to do all that
Nope. Some morons just have moments, too. Just like everyone else.
Oh man, that guy was controlling the car like it was his own feet.
Is that necessary ? Geez! Build some ducking roads yiur third world countries pieces of shit!
"You got lucky, Petah." Also camera man about to get run over at the end
I disagree with that statement. Although impressive in its own right, that was still very idiotic.
