    I don't know why people risk destroying their car on deep puddles.
    I feel bad for the car at 7:30. Revving that much wont charge it any faster. The alternator does have a limit. Just 2000 RPM (or even 2500 RPM max) is more than enough to charge . Yesterday I saw some muppets in a basic 2 wheel drive 2001 TOYOTA HILUX UTILITY (2.7 litre petrol) with a loud exhaust. They were flogging it hard, bouncing it off the rev limiter next to some other boy racer and basically being idiots. Not exactly a race car but they thought it was I guess.

  • @johnkeepin7527
    @johnkeepin7527 Před rokem +1

    Interesting to see how the Yaris coped with it. Evidently the number plate came off, but the engine air intake is about 650 mm above ground (my car is one of those). Could be a gamble as to whether the engine would try to start (it probably wouldn’t be running rolling downhill) and suck in some water. Of course, the traction motor could have a bit of a wash, as it were. Don’t think I’d try going through a ford like that, though! The electric cooling fan and the 3 radiators behind the grill wouldn’t like it either.

    It's amazing how they allow people to destroy their cars. I feel it's more of an IQ test, more than anything else.

      The warning signs are in place, the depth gauge is there. It’s pure common sense and knowing how to drive 😎

    You should be obliged to take a basic intelligence test before being granted a driving licence. Most of the drivers in this video would have failed it🙄

    This was painful to watch. Way too many ads, and with that random cracking noise, this was very annoying. I couldnt watch any more and stopped after the 6th ad. A word of advice, people dont want to be watching mostly ads, dont be so greedy. Thumbs down.

      I will check it out. There should be 2 at the start, 2 in the middle and 2 at the end. Where did you run into the 6 ads? Yeah this one is a bit whip happy 😆- thanks for letting me know about the ads, as mentioned there shouldn’t be that many on there.

      Its poetry in motion....they keep doing the same thing over and over and expect a different result.
