When you're so desperate not to help a stranger that you develop superpowers instead.

I mean, what the fuck am I going to do? I'm no engine surgeon.

Dammit Jim, I’m only a country mechanic!

[–] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 32 points 3 months ago (3 children)

Thought for sure it was gonna flip over on the dismount.

[–] darkdemize@sh.itjust.works 21 points 3 months ago

I figured they would rip off the front bumper trying to stick the landing.

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Me too, but would be messed up if wasn't staged. Rather drive up rock wall then stop and help.

[–] miss_demeanour@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 3 months ago

They could be an expert driver but a shitty mechanic.
Plus, kickoff is in 10 minutes, and they've got the beer in the trunk.

Hoped

Poor tires, and probably other stuff too. But flawless and impressive execution!

[–] wetbeardhairs@lemmy.dbzer0.com 23 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Let's see those u-joints

[–] miss_demeanour@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 3 months ago

Is that a u-phenism?

[–] Ghyste@sh.itjust.works 18 points 3 months ago (1 children)

That poor frame...

[–] WhyIHateTheInternet@lemmy.world 21 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Yeah but worth it not to have to help that guy out.

[–] Ghyste@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 months ago

Hey, for all we know he showed up to help his buddy and had to get around him to go get a part.

[–] Davel23@fedia.io 10 points 3 months ago

Pft, KITT could do that and wouldn't even need a wall.

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago

God I was hoping so much that it would flip over at the very end.

[–] peoplebeproblems@midwest.social 8 points 3 months ago

The lengths I go to to avoid social interactions

[–] just_another_person@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

I'm more impressed that it's a Buick. I thought that brand was dead.

[–] crank0271@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

I love how they approach and defiantly pull the side mirror in. "Not helping you today, buddy."

[–] duckCityComplex@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Something looks kind of off when he folds in the side mirror... it seems to disappear entirely in an instant.

Otherwise, the video looks real enough... Who knows.

EDIT: on further review, the camera shifts right to an angle where you can no longer see the side of the car... and you can still barely catch a glimpse of the mirror a second or two later. False alarm.
