More Funny Automobile Bloopers and Misadventures - Videos

When folks get behind the wheel these days, look out! Whether it is because of stupidity, carelessness, drunkenness or cell phone texting, people are screwing up more and more these days when they hit the roadways. Although many of the accidents that are caught on film result in tragedy, we prefer to dwell on the funny incidents because humor is a lot more fun than a broken neck.

VW micro buses were all the rage back in the 1960's and '70's. They have been around since then, but they simply have not been all that popular. In the late 1960's they were a status symbol, a sign that you were a part of the hippie generation because many of the flower children drove across the USA in a VW micro bus.

They were usually painted in psychedelic colors and were major players in the automotive experiences of the hippie generation.


Volkswagen did not forget how popular their micro bus was back then, and a few years ago the company previewed a concept car based on that micro bus from the '60's and '70's.

If the above photo is any proof, the concept car made it all the way to the production line. Yes, it appears from this photo that the bus is back.

The design makes perfect sense in these days of high priced gasoline and is certainly a sign of the times. You can be sure this new VW only sips the petrol.

Almost everyone who sees this photo says it's cute. That means that women drivers would be the natural market for this vehicle. You could watch for more of them at a VW dealer near you. But the problem with that is that Volkswagen insists that they know nothing about the vehicle.

Even in Germany, the closest vehicle you can find similar to this car is the VW Fox, which is nowhere as cute as this car is. If you like it, call Volkswagen and tell them you want to buy one. If they built one, they must have built others that are out there...somewhere.

Now, for our first video--you know what kids do. They build a ramp that they can use to jump things with their skateboard, and naturally they leave it in the street in front of their house. Kids will be kids and they don't understand that bad things are likely to happen when something like this is left in the street.

The driver never noticed the skateboard ramp in the street and...well, watch and see for yourself:



Oh too bad! The car did not actually tip over. But, we all know that this scenario could have gone a lot worse.

Just imagine how the driver must have felt. He's tooling along, probably talking on his cell phone, maybe late for an appointment, and, if he is like most drivers, his mind is anywhere but concentrating on what's right in front of him. Suddenly his car rides up on only two wheels just like in a stunt car show. Wouldn't that be a shocker!

In the next vid we have an Evel Knievel wannabe let his buddy drive a car over his forearm because that's not really gonna hurt is it? Naah! Of course not!


Well, I cannot understand how that hurt the kid's arm. Let's see...drive a 3500 pound vehicle over a human arm? That shouldn't hurt, should it?

Wait till this kid gets to school to tell his buddies what he did. "You drove the car over your arm? No Way!"

"Yes, Way! Check out the video pal. See! And I'm still alive. Of course, my arm's in a cast, but so what! Now I'm an Internet hero."

Well, we all know that a broken arm is a small price to pay for immortality on the Internet. I can see the high school class year book now. "Mike Smith: Let Jonesey drive a car over his forearm. Most likely to become the next Evel Knievel."

Okay! I feel guilty about the car in the first video not tipping over so I'm going to try to make it up to you...maybe.

In the next video what could possibly go wrong. The driver is entering a fenced location through a steel gate, and people enter premises like that through steel gates every day. What could go wrong?

What indeed! Watch!



Lady! Try to remember this next time. Keep the shiny side up!

We have saved the best for last, at least in our opinion. In our last video, a young woman attempts to fill her car with gas, which is usually a simple procedure. But today it isn't.

For those of you who are unfamiliar with Laurel and Hardy movies, this is the type of situation that Stan Laurel and Ollie Hardy used to get themselves into constantly. Most of their humor consisted of sight gags very similar to this one.

I have watched this video several times and I still laugh out loud every time I see it.



Did you notice at the very end of the clip she is still struggling with the hose trying to bring it back again to the wrong side of the car. If only she would turn her car around, all would be fine, but she doesn't seem to understand that.
