One of our local morons. That's about 15 miles from me.
It's going to cost him a pretty penny to have his truck removed from the ocean. No clue why he thought he might make it, the jetty itself was washing out.
Darwin award runner up.

Edit:the truck (a Nissan, not Toyota) was removed at low tide. Good job Buddies Towing.

Out of state plates. Arkansas

Probably means he's not a local, but not definitive. People up here tend to not reregister their out of state cars. I'll go with the assumption he's from Arkansas, though. We have enough brain dead slugs here without claiming more.

Sink My Ride! Hope he gets 'dinged' for the rescue costs as well ... asshat

If you look really closely you can almost see the Trump/Pence sticker on that back... right next to his Keep Honking I'm Reloading ... and just above the Jesus fish.

0:44 - The point where I would show off how fast and accurately I can back up.

Heck yes

(edit) never mind, I blame it on anxiety and beer

Oh man, I wish I had been that clever in the titling; honestly, that made me laugh out loud....Sink My Ride indeed.

Your dead to me.

That sentence LITERALLY doesn't make ANY sense...

yeah,i read that too and was unsure if i should say anything,but you beat me to it!

the misuse of contractions is not a crime,cuz i am a huge offender in that department.

it was the nonsensical that got my attention,and i know nonsensical.
have you READ any of my rants?

Misuse of contractions is totally a crime.

Forget the tow charges, fixing all the salt water damage will be insane.

@newtboy

CLEARLY!... was that really so hard to understand... sheshhh...

He should have been toking on some Humboldt's finest and then that probably wouldn't have happened because he'd have been paranoid for his own safety!

What the actual f*ck? There had to be drugs or alcohol involved?

3 point turn. How does it work? Too bad that dummy got saved. Prime candidate for the Darwin Award.

Around the 50 second mark to 1 minute mark, it looks like his steering got messed up, so he was probably stuck after that point, but at the 30 second point it becomes obvious that going forward isn't the right move.

Also, what is it lately that 90% of all videos no longer will go full screen on the Sift?

Yeah, looked like a tie rod broke.

What seals this guys idiocy for me is when he gets out of the truck and casually leans against the wall. If the water is pushing your 4000#+ vehicle around, why would you get out and stand between it and a concrete wall! That guy could have very easily got himself crushed.

After I read "The Perfect Storm", I sort of wondered how the Coast Guard feels about rescuing people who have rather imperfectly exercised their judgement and gotten themselves into a pretty bad situation. Of course, in that book, a chopper goes down trying to rescue a not very clever sailboat owner who has set sail into the face of the storm (they oddly survive). And I guess the answer is: the rescue crews just don't think about it that way at all. They are there to rescue people; so they just try. It might sort of drive me crazy.
