- DaviDTC, on 03/22/2008, -10/+220Would of been great if the cars fell all the way through and the water refroze.
- evernerve, on 03/22/2008, -2/+140How much vodka was involved?
- Majjoodi, on 03/22/2008, -5/+129Would have!!!
- Accolade1, on 03/22/2008, -3/+99"Don't worry - I've got plenty of parking."
- SpaceDreamer, on 03/22/2008, -0/+89I love the appropriate "invest in Russia" ad that follows the photos
- inactive, on 03/22/2008, -1/+84I just know their insurance agent said: "I have questions."
- whataboutdave, on 03/22/2008, -4/+63or the weight of almost a dozen cars might have done it....
- ghee, on 03/22/2008, -9/+52Would *have* been great...
- viperssxt, on 03/22/2008, -3/+45That's some dirty water
- VladislavIII, on 03/22/2008, -5/+41Where y'all from anyway? California? Texas? Or do you think you know about cold weather because you live in Chicago? You people don't know ***** all about cold winters. I love all of these ignorant comments here like "who would be stupid enough to park on ice lol". This ice looks pretty rotten but anybody who's lives up north is used to driving cars across frozen lakes and rivers in winter. They have ice bridges that 18 wheelers cross all the time. The ice is typically at least 6-8 feet thick in winter and even 24 inches would be plenty to drive a car on. Running your engine wouldn't even warm the very top layer.
- aceakm, on 03/22/2008, -1/+36Reinvents the 10 minute parking spot.
- Clugenheim, on 03/22/2008, -5/+39In Soviet Russia, ice... uhh... damnit.
- ZombieSociety, on 03/22/2008, -2/+35You're not "damned if you do and damned if you don't." You're damned if you're stupid enough to park on ice.
- inactive, on 03/22/2008, -2/+34MrBabyMan deserves to fall into a frozen lake.
- mal1964, on 03/22/2008, -0/+25Looks more like a river.
- Samsong, on 03/22/2008, -1/+26Fish: 1
Russian Fishermen: 0 - Acglaphotis, on 03/22/2008, -0/+23come on... you figured out how to get to digg but you don't know that weight BREAKS ice?
- inactive, on 03/22/2008, -0/+23Let me help you out...
In Soviet Russia, Cars sinks Lake. - birdly, on 03/22/2008, -2/+22I think the engine is flooded.
- inactive, on 03/22/2008, -0/+19not when you go on dates
- strictnein, on 03/22/2008, -0/+19The midwest has never flooded in the history of mankind. It's UNPRECEDENTED! Everybody Panic!
- Kral, on 03/22/2008, -0/+16Because of course there's no way water will get in unless the windows are open.
- GothAlice, on 03/22/2008, -0/+16Might that be gasoline and oil? Or just a lot of dirt? /serious question
- Alex2, on 03/22/2008, -2/+18Mental note to self... don't leave car running when parked on frozen pond.
- inactive, on 03/22/2008, -1/+16Dude... Where's my car?
- Elconno2, on 03/22/2008, -1/+16In Soviet Russia, Lake fishes you.
- Cryoniq, on 03/22/2008, -0/+15Affirmative. Being a Swede this is something natural. They just got unlucky.. a lot.. he he
- blast_flame, on 03/22/2008, -1/+15I doubt this has anything to do with global warming. Just stupidity.
- inactive, on 03/22/2008, -29/+43pwned!
- tehWyman, on 08/19/2009, -1/+15What ad?
- BluKnight, on 03/22/2008, -3/+17... plug for global warming in 3... 2...
- stupidStan, on 03/22/2008, -1/+13dammed if you can't spell damned
- kilworth, on 03/22/2008, -2/+13wow, must have taken quite some time to type all the characters backwards
- JoWiGo, on 03/22/2008, -0/+11Yes. It is also common in the northern US and most parts of Canada. I have done it myself. In fact many of the northern Canadian diamond mines are mainly accessible via the Dempster Highway during the winter months, a 194km highway built mostly over ice.
- inactive, on 03/22/2008, -7/+17It's Easter Weekend and it's snowing outside. Where's your global warming now?
- spyd3rweb, on 03/22/2008, -0/+10'93 repeat flood?
- mithrasinvictus, on 03/22/2008, -1/+11weight MELTS ice. Water has a lower freezing point under greater pressure.
- Invalice, on 03/22/2008, -0/+10It is normal for some parts of Russia it is normal to use frozen rivers as roads or in this case a car park.
- alphaterminus, on 03/22/2008, -1/+11It's also common in Minnesota.
My memory of ice fishing in Minnesota... my dad and his friends were drinking rum the whole time and felt warm. I was 12 and drinking Coke and was freezing my balls off the whole time. - strictnein, on 03/22/2008, -2/+12No see, that's also caused by "climate change". They changed the name so they can blame absolutely anything they want on it.
- DanOnTheMoon, on 03/22/2008, -2/+11In Soviet Russia, cars sink YOU!!
- inactive, on 03/22/2008, -2/+10It wasn't a joke, you merely just referenced it, and showed everyone your lack of wit.
- Diggpick, on 03/22/2008, -0/+8Except that one lucky guy who parked across the lake..he must have really had a warm feeling in his stomach when he saw this..
- hyankov, on 03/22/2008, -7/+15EPIC FAIL
- smurfsahoy, on 03/22/2008, -0/+7Have you ever actually been fishing before?
Crystal clear lakes = pollution, and no fish. If it were a river, then there might be fish when it is clear. Not for a lake. - MikeonTV, on 03/22/2008, -5/+12"ice-cold countries"?
- GordonV, on 03/22/2008, -2/+9So which one was your car?
- bstew22, on 03/22/2008, -2/+9not really, i mean look at it. it's just "1234567890{[ " then "]}0987654321"
so, not really THAT long. just, a simple response would have been easier then typing all those characters. - RedViper1999, on 03/22/2008, -0/+6IF it was cold enough to freeze the engine blocks then it was cold enough that the ice would have been much thicker in the first place. Temperatures in the single digits and negatives freeze water damn quick and that's also when you tend to need to warm the engine.
- bdpf, on 03/22/2008, -0/+66 to 10 inches is enough.. The snow and current did the dirty deed. Snow insulates the the ice from the cold and the current weakens it. Love all the experts. Live on the chain and we loose a car every few years, let alone a snowmobile. Current and active springs just eat them. Folks from the cities don't understand ice conditions, on lakes and rivers. It take several weeks of near zero weather with no thaws, to make save ice.
