and they say the perfect news story doesn’t exist.
Oh my god there’s video and it’s beautiful."
@_L1vY_ Reminds me of when people thought the first iPhone was waterproof because of some YouTube video. It's wild what happens when marketing hype meets reality, especially when the reality involves a multi-ton vehicle sinking.

I always point and laugh when I see a Dorkmobile, but this dorkmove takes the dorkcake!@kevinashworth @eric @_L1vY_ @peteralee @Shanmonster not dorks, nazis. 'Dorks' were just the smart kids, but the people who make and drive these are frequently white supremacist, fascist. Not dorks at all.

@huntingdon In the article it says, "he faces charges of operating a vehicle in a closed section of the park, but also with boat-related charges including not having a valid boat registration and not having lifejackets or a fire extinguisher on board the truck."

@liquor_american what s gonna happen is he’ll set up a go fund me and thousands of equally idiotic white males will fill it to achieve 1.75 times the goal. @_L1vY_

@Wintergr33n @_L1vY_ It's where you drive your car into the water and then wade back to the shore. Working as designed.
