As the car gets warm, the snow at the bottom melts. Then the idiot parks it to do his groceries or whatever so it cools back down and freezes into a 2 inch thick block of ice. Then they drive on the highway. That block of ice breaks free, flies up in the air, catches in the wind while tumbling which gives it an unpredictable trajectory and smashes the windshield of a car that was unfortunate enough to be further back at that time.
I know because it happened to me. Had to get a windshield replaced in the middle of a road trip. The dipshit who caused it didn’t even realize what happened and kept driving. The police should absolutely crack down on this instead of all the other petty bullshit they tend to harass people over.
I was just looking for a video to say exactly what you did, people should see it happen in real time:

(This is invidious, a yt proxy, if you don’t recognize the URL. Content (no audio): A car’s dashcam captures an incident where a seemingly small bit of ice comes loose from a car ahead of the driver and destroys the windshield. It’s hard to notice if you aren’t looking out for it, bit of a jumpscare.)

Just the snow blowing off into the windshield of the person behind them is dangerous enough to cause a fatal accident.
Nothing like potentially killing someone because you’re a lazy fuck.
*you’re a criminal fuck
Even if it wasn’t super dangerous, I wouldn’t be able to drive like this. It’s like a giant sign that doesn’t just say that you’re lazy, but selfish.
It’s the best part of winter if we’re honest with ourselves.
No one commenting about this being physically impossible (unless the car in front is significantly slower/stopped)?
Thank you, Neil deGrasse Tyson. I had no idea shooting a green shell couldn’t be done like in Mario Kart!
Fuck. Can we do it like a red shell? Do bananas at least work?
If you look closely, a green shell gets thrown. So that would work.
I guess I should have specified Mario Kart 64. That’s the one I always think about first
Not surprised that the picture was taken at a pump, that’s going to be killer on the gas mileage
at about 15 pounds per cubic foot, thats what maybe 400 pounds of snow?
And another like foot or 2 of drag
“Fire it at the Tesla in front of me…” The animosity toward Tesla owners (or Prius or any other EV/Hybrid owner) is stupid. Why hate them?
Because the CEO of Tesla is a massive bastard? That’s not their fault. They may not have even known what a fuckhead he was when they bought it, nor should his behavior influence their car ownership. Plenty of good people work for Tesla too.
Or because they don’t support the gas/oil industry? That’s moronic. As much of a shit goblin Musk is, he holds no candle to the collective evil of the fossil fuel lobby.
Don’t hate someone for their taste in consumer goods. They’re just trying to get through life, same as you.
Now, if you wanna launch that snow drift at a “coal rolling” diesel pickup truck who is intentionally destroying the environment, that’s a different thing altogether.
Never seen or heard animosity about other evs, just people sitting on tesla.
I target Teslas when I see them in Rocket League. Especially when Knockout is up.
Lol, gotta observe that the minivan driver thinks they’re in some way superior to the targeted Tesla. They’ll keep telling themselves that as they’re picking the cheerios out of the seat cracks with dried rotten milk stains left by their kids. Got to keep your masculinity intact somehow by imagining your coolness.
Does the minivan brick itself if it goes through a car wash without pressing the right button?
Cheerios can be vacuumed a lot faster than buying a vehicle not built for ego and nonstop recalls
