Sad day for all of us with an E53
 

I came across this while looking for a video showing how to replace the inner CV boot on my e53 ... So sad of a video ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dyf3D35ojqU )

I think that looks like a sad day for Jeep Cherokee (or some other SUV) owners.

Not an X5.

Looks like its in russia and the car is a Toyota Land cruiser Prado.(very popular car in russia) car in the back is a Dacia/Renault Duster.

But its definitley not an X5

In my youth I operated a recovery 4x4 tow truck in a rural area with lots of beaches. There was only one boat launch ramp on the island, so most used the gravel beaches. We had 12 foot tides. Regularly, someone would back in, and not be able to pull back up the beach. They would wait until the waves were lapping at the door sill, then call in a panic, often on a weekend. When we got there, the salt water could be in the cab. The amateur boat launcher was typically holding his head, just as this guy was, as his vehicle slipped into the salt chuck. If it was deep, we sent him into the water with the winch cable. Brings back memories.

There is no cure for stupidity, except Darwin. Fortunately, it looks like this driver got out in time. Spring. The time, every year, when the ice melts.

Yeah, I'm always amazed at how people insist on driving on thinning ice. When I stayed on Wollaston Lake Indian Reserve a few years ago, we drove on the lake until late March. By mid April folks still drove on it with a foot of water sitting on the ice, but those folk knew where the ice was still thick. Not being a local, I took the long way around. One poor soul decided to leave in the middle of the night and drove on a thinning area. They didn't find her until late the next day, frozen to death inside her half-sunken car. She'd been trying to break the rear windshield with her keys, from the look of it.

Be safe, folks!

Hey Spidey... Hows That Jiggilo shirt:bustingup:bustingup:bustingup:bustingup

LOL... you know how it is. Pimpin ain't easy!

Okay okay... I guess it's not a E53, so we can all rejoice!!

Oh wait, except for the guy trying to pull it back out of the watery grave...
