INGO - do you do this?

[jeremy]

Why do you think I own a truck...

 

[ljadayton]

I admit...I think about doing it, but I never have. I will speed up and splash some IF there are NO people. I'm not THAT mean

When I got out of high school my first job was driving Hummers from AM General to the trucking company I worked for, we would repair the drive train(engine,tranny, differentials) this was '88 or '89.
It had monsoon-ed the night before and this particular morning, Sample street was flooded. The welfare office used to be across the street from the P.D.
There was about 6" of water laying in the gutter and it extended about half way out into our lane. My fellow employee driving the hummer in front of me, inched over and hit the water with his right tires. Causing a wall of water at least 10 foot high, that reach clear to the building.
All the people standing in front of the building ran for cover, except for one guy that was walking the same direction we were going. Guy was dressed nice, suit, carrying a closed umbrella.
When the wall of water hit him it almost knocked him down. I almost couldn't drive I was laughing so hard. Poor guy was soaked to the bone.

I've been tempted to do it several times on campus in Bloomington. Students there believe a red light means to cross slowly and green, even slower. When it rains, it's even worse. But, I can't say that I've done it . . . yet.

 

[Cru]

No.

 

[AuntieBellum]

Tempted? Definitely. I LOOOVE driving through puddles (and snow and mud, etc!). But as much as I'm tempted, I try not to actually splash those on the side of the road. Sometimes it's inevitable, but I don't want to make someone's day suck intentionally. I don't like to unintentionally, either, but it happens sometimes.

 

[misconfig]

One time I deflected someone's attempt to splash me when I was walking on the road. I had an umbrella and tactically placed it in the right spot JUST before they splashed me.

I kept walking... like a BOSS.

My wife likes to roll down the windows in the car to get the kids wet when she hits a puddle.

She thinks it's hilarious... she doesn't have to clean the cars either though...

 

[redneckmedic]

Nope, but fire engines/ladders have a very thick exhaust that sits on the bottom right side about 3/4 the way down the length, it does crack me up when someone gets a little lead foot at a green light and smokes out some jerk in the next lane over with his window down. The older the engine... the thicker the smoke

 

[Leah Marie]

lol no one is ever around when I hit puddles. I would do that to a friend but not someone I don't know.

 

[Wabatuckian]

I would not do it. Hypothermia is never fun.

Not intentionally. I've stalled too many vehicles in deep water.

Nothing is worse than soaking a pedestrian, stalling your $50K Audi, and then getting your punk ass beat by said pedestrian.

You need a diesel, as long as it's getting air, it'll run!

 

[paddling_man]

Never intentionally though i can see exceptions:

Westboro Baptist protesters, say.

LOL!!!

I miss driving my MLRS for this very same reason!!!

The exhaust is on the right side of the vehicle at around 6 feet up on the side. Pointed at the Ground to lower the Thermals. I loved driving that beast by a group of Officers and cogging them!

 

[grimor]

Yup, I splash the kids who want to be splashed like in the picture. Otherwise, not so much.

 

[theweakerbrother]

I have never done it but I was in a limited edition VW TDi Golf when someone thought it would be funny to do it to people with snow. It was in Greenwood and he hotshot the car too much and hit a curb. That's when I really laughed.

 

[The Beaver]

A bus driver got me once. I was pretty annoyed but then again bus drivers must hate their lives. At least the ones around here do.

 

[Benny]

LOL. No, I'm not that mean.

 

[Audie Murphy]

I must admit that in my younger days that I have been known to do this.

The water "puddles" I hit are a tad deeper then you expect. There is a 33" tire under there somewhere.....
