Brin a surfboard, not your car.
These scenes are common in China as they seem to be an overly curious type of people.
And pretty dumb
This is a good way to scrub the gene pool a bit.
Now I wonder what fool will be suckered into buying a 'slightly used' Chinese car -- that has been soaked by saltwater and will soon begin to corrode completely apart from the inside out.
Their daily antics are the stuff that makes headline news around the world. Like really?
So.... Americans aren't the only stupid people in the world.
That is what I thought after earlier seeing pics of people watching waves caused by Isaac. How dumb can you get? It seems to be a universal disease.
They were just wanting a free car wash.
i thought the Chinese were so smart???
if you're going to be dumb...you have to be tough!
Don't they know better than to do this? Aren't they used to seeing things like this and knows what can happen? Dang man
I say, again, there is no cure for dumb!
As Bugs Bunny put it so eloquently "What a bunch of Maroons"
Storm watching is fun and all...but from a safe distance! Common sense must've been off for some people.
Still, I hope everyone's alright.
Steadily depressin' low down mind messin' car wash blues....
second to last pic the officer on the bottom right....."AHHHH....GODZILLAAAA!!!"
p.s. i know they are not Japanese
How do you spell dumb in chinese.
