I have heard that a 3 week old FJ Cruiser has sunk in the ocean at Esperance.
Forgot the handbrake.

How is education supposed to make me feel smarter? Besides, every time I learn something new, it pushes some old stuff out of my brain. Remember when I took that home winemaking course, and I forgot how to drive?  (Homer J Simpson).

you don't have to be on FB to view it, I watched it yesterday and I'm not on FB. From memory I just clicked on a blank / coloured section of the page and the video came up.

Me too, could see someone in the car, thought there was only one when he was the only one to climb out the sunroof. Why didn't the others climb out there too?

What I don't get, and maybe I am missing soething, is the first guy casually climbs through the sunroof. Why didn't the other two just do the same at that point, all was lost on the vehicle and they were at the very best going to get wet in any case.

This fail is used by my 4 WD Club as an illustration  (early in the training) of why wheel placement is essential.
