Oooooh this reminds me of once I had the pleasure to assist a nice woman at the gas station. She was in a car she was not familiar with and couldn't find the lever to open the tank cover. I searched inside the car but finally went to the tank cover and pressed it. Voila!

I can't laugh....I hired a Mercedes Sprinter van, and couldn't find the fuel cap door. When I did locate it, couldn't open it by pressing fob and looking for lever and only by accident did I discover one need to open the passenger door (UK) to release it!

Same as the Ford Transit custom...

I worked at a car wash a few years ago over summer for extra cash. Since I was the only person who knew how to drive a stick I was the one driving the cars into the tunnel (full service car wash).
Prior to that the newest model of car I'd driven was a 2000 model.
There were more than a couple cars with the new "keyless" ignition setups that I literally couldn't figure out how to START! (although I was exposed to literally hundreds of unfamiliar car models with that gig)

I'm sure most of these Youtube "hilarious" videos are staged in very much the same way as those home videos from "America's Funniest Home Videos" show from the 90's.

How many have seen the wiener dog videos? I know the guy who does the videos. I posted this on his FB page.
There was only 16 squadrons of RAF fighters that used 100 octane during the BoB. The Fw190A could not fly with the outer cannon removed. There was no Fw190A-8s flying with the JGs in 1945.

Here's one that happened not too long ago. I wonder for how long that captain's pay will be docked for damages?

This one autoplays afterward. Why they didn't barricade it?

From the video it's quite obvious the workers forgot to place the barricades until it was too late and then one of the workers realized what happened and then placed the barricades.

I wouldn't call that hilarious....astonished to read that the driver walked away with minor injuries!

I think what saved the driver was that the car landed on one side of the rear bumper. Had it landed completely upside down from that altitude, there's no way the driver would have survived.
