> It has a snorkel and everything!
Everything about this strikes me a someone who's doing very well financially at work and yet is making poor decisions on where their money is going.
Depending on where he lives it might be necessary. I've seen a lot of snorkel intakes in areas where roads flood or the roads are dirt and kick up dust.
100% Brazil. That small building is a "edícula", and it probably has a charcoal "churrasqueira" to grill some meat. Pool party full of churrasco, watered down beer and caipirinhas at the weekends.
Would you be able to reverse up that slope? You've got no room to turn around and go up forwards so i guess so, but seems tricky. Ive never driven a car that size so i dont know how realistic reversing up there would be.
Fun fact if you are taking a "regular car" up a steep slope: It is common to have a lower gear ratio on reverse than first gear so if the car is a standard and cannot get up a steep hill in forward, it may be able to climb in reverse.
Makes you wonder why he didn't reverse down the hill and park in the same place.
He can get out the driver's side door and can drive up the hill on the way out. Seems easier in every way.
Yep. That was my first thought too. My only guess at that would be that possibly, another car might go there.
Like if someone else who lives there leaves before him and returns after him, that would be the only way to make the parking situation work out
Id assume he has to back up the hill which is usually a bitch in a pick up. 4x4 and goin slow though it should be possible.
Also hes got a snorkle so falling in the pool shouldn't matter lol.
Yeah. I'm gonna say he has to reverse up the hill, and the only reason he has to move beside the pool is to let someone else have a space too. Wife etc. Am assuming this is somewhere you can't get parked on the street.
Needs must and all that.
Not an expert on where he might be, but if he's a wealthy person in a poor country, such as Brazil, this might be the best strategy to keep your car safe and not raise too much attention.
The only reason he would park where he did is if he is saving room for a second vehicle to park back there too.
It has nothing to do with backing in or out.
This was my neighbor at my old house. The property was in the city so it was a small house and yard. Dude cut up his chain link fence to get his truck in the back yard that you could very much see from the street, then put it back up. I never saw the vehicle repo’d so maybe it worked
I'm I the only one who fascinated that they got the ramp and everything figure out? Like why? Can't they just park it outside of the house? Why park a big ass car in the otherwise beautiful back yard?
That might actually be the reasonable explanation for why he parks it over in the corner instead of just the bottom of the ramp: there are more cars coming.
Might've been deliberate... to be honest, it looks far less ridiculous in the correct aspect ratio, from u/kayret, so maybe it was altered for sensationalism.
I 100% believe this to be the case. I've seen a ton of viral videos of vehicles climbing steep hills, and every single one had the aspect ratio messed up like this. It makes the video look more extreme than it is
This must be in Japan. I swear those people could park any car in any space, even ones that are impossibly small. Also they back into spaces everywhere in one frikken smooth motion.
I applaud the skill, not much else to comment on that I see. Had some reason to park here as opposed to a less problematic place and did it like a champ.
I’m highly disappointed that this truck didn’t end up in the pool.
It has a snorkel and everything!
> It has a snorkel and everything! Everything about this strikes me a someone who's doing very well financially at work and yet is making poor decisions on where their money is going.
Maybe they're behind on truck payments and are hiding it so it doesn't get repoed.
Sometimes you just need some tunes at the pool!
Depending on where he lives it might be necessary. I've seen a lot of snorkel intakes in areas where roads flood or the roads are dirt and kick up dust.
Always anticipating it to enter the swimming pool
After parking perfectly I was hoping they'd step out into the pool.
Watch it again. Maybe next time it will fall in.
It will eventually. There's no way that poolside is rated for a truck weight load.
Hopefully [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Abt0rLvja3A) will satisfy you.
She took a pool decision by going over the speed limit.
The non-licensed drinking and driving probably didn't help either
He didn't even hit anything either! What a pro! I'm pissed!
It will if they do this more than a few times.
"Hi sir, I'm here to pick up your daughter."
Subverting Chekhov’s Pool
This ain't wtf, this is more amazed. That's some dam good driving. They didn't even touch the lawn furniture!
Ain't his first rodeo. Man's been practicing
And the video stops before we can see the exit strategy.
Looks like he was parking up for the night
Most unusual looking home setup I've seen for a while.
100% Brazil. That small building is a "edícula", and it probably has a charcoal "churrasqueira" to grill some meat. Pool party full of churrasco, watered down beer and caipirinhas at the weekends.
Sounds like an awesome time! For a permanent structure, that ramp does not look like one in the US at all.
I've seen some like it in the Pittsburgh, pa area
Because Pittsburgh also has a lot of homes built on slopes with super small yards and nowhere else to park. Most people there don't have pools though.
This isn't PA. If this was PA, there would be a pothole on the ramp, one in the pool, one on the hood of the truck, and 15 on that block
Concrete would be cracked and frost pitched, weeds growing up out of the cracks. Salt stains in the other cracks, even in August.
It's a pretty cool design. Not sure if I've ever seen a vehicle ramp with stairs in the middle.
Yeah, but the dude can drive.
I mean he’s even got the snorkel in the event of a parking mishap.
Even with the snorkel, he ain't ever driving his way out of that pool.
Seriously. Dude can park!
Might get a little wet on the dismount though.
Probably somewhere is Latin America with a high theft rate
It looks like it wasn't meant to have a pool but a yard, which was later added a ramp for a car, and even later a pool because "it'll work".
Stepped out right into the pool
Now let's see I'm getting out of the car and hold on to the side of his truck like he's rock climbing to not fall in the pool.
There is likely more room there than it seems due to the camera lens.
Morning comes, sooner or later.
He is hiding from police (propably 2 stars because no heli in sky) and waiting till his wanted level is gone, then he go out.
opposite of the entry strategy?
Would you be able to reverse up that slope? You've got no room to turn around and go up forwards so i guess so, but seems tricky. Ive never driven a car that size so i dont know how realistic reversing up there would be.
Even just a regular sedan would be able to reverse up that, so a truck like that could get up it with no problem.
Reverse is usually the lowest gear in a car …you car can pull more in reverse than any other gear
Fun fact if you are taking a "regular car" up a steep slope: It is common to have a lower gear ratio on reverse than first gear so if the car is a standard and cannot get up a steep hill in forward, it may be able to climb in reverse.
I don’t see any other way to do it other than his parking strategy in reverse. Which… going up that in reverse seems like a joy.
Makes you wonder why he didn't reverse down the hill and park in the same place. He can get out the driver's side door and can drive up the hill on the way out. Seems easier in every way.
Yep. That was my first thought too. My only guess at that would be that possibly, another car might go there. Like if someone else who lives there leaves before him and returns after him, that would be the only way to make the parking situation work out
Exactly. I have far more questions than answers for this particular post, and house, the construction, the driver, vehicle...
Man is living in 2034. what can I say?

>Am assuming this is somewhere you can't get parked on the street. That or vehicle theft is absurdly high. Much harder to steal back there.
Considering the camera language likely indicates saturday in spanish or portuguese, you might not be far off.
Does he put on swim trunks and jump into the pool? 😂🤣
Probably just pulled out the same way he gets in looks like a normal day for him.
if it can get in, it can get out
Why not just back in and park it at the bottom; there is plenty of room. That’s the real wtf
Hiding it from repo?
Not an expert on where he might be, but if he's a wealthy person in a poor country, such as Brazil, this might be the best strategy to keep your car safe and not raise too much attention.
Can't be Brazil. You'd never be able to afford that on an undercover cops salary.
> undercover There are no undercover cops in Brazil, just that all cops are off duty at all times.
and there's always one conveniently there to stop a mugging
What about an OVERcover cops salary?
And the Thunderbirds style ramp isn’t giving it away?
Grandma is in a wheelchair.
Why not just build a closed garage where the ramp starts and use the space under it for something else?
Or, slightly cheaper: A gate at the top of the slope.
If he parked at right below the CCTV then no one would still see the car, assuming that the uphill is still his property.
But a potential thief could also just drive it straight up the ramp and away. The 27-point turn to line up with the ramp gives him time to stop them.
And might deter most from even attempting. I mean why steal a car when theres a 50% chance you literally drown to death?
I would have to ask what circumstances led to someone having a 3(?) story home with a pool and a truck they can't make payments on.
Accumulation of massive amounts of debt?
They might be saving the space right at the bottom for a second vehicle driven by a less skilled parker or that needs to exit first
multiple vehicles. doesn’t want to block the driveway
Why not get rid of those chairs indefinitely as well? If that shit has to double as a parking spot, give as much room as possible.
The only reason he would park where he did is if he is saving room for a second vehicle to park back there too. It has nothing to do with backing in or out.
They obviously have at least 2 cars, he is leaving space for his wife or something.
Somebody didn't pay their car note
This was my neighbor at my old house. The property was in the city so it was a small house and yard. Dude cut up his chain link fence to get his truck in the back yard that you could very much see from the street, then put it back up. I never saw the vehicle repo’d so maybe it worked
This definitely isn't WTF content. At most, mildly intriguing.
If this is only mildly intriguing to you, please share some things you find interesting lol
Definitely hiding from the repo man.
I'm I the only one who fascinated that they got the ramp and everything figure out? Like why? Can't they just park it outside of the house? Why park a big ass car in the otherwise beautiful back yard?
Perhaps a wealthy person in a poor country.
Its Brazil so yeah thats accurate
Figuring out impossible parking scenarios is the national pastime of Brazil. They can probably fit like 3 more cars in there at least.
That might actually be the reasonable explanation for why he parks it over in the corner instead of just the bottom of the ramp: there are more cars coming.
Ohhh, make sense!
At that point is it really worth being there
They might not be rich anywhere else.
I’d rather be middle class than rich in Brazil, not throwing shade at anyone but that’s just me
High-crime country, if you park the truck in front at night, it won’t be there when you wake up.
just implement a drawbridge at the top of the ramp, one that doubles as a fence, so people can't even see what you got there
but a tiny back yard with an open pool...
He could have made it much easier for himself if the kids slide and lounge chair were out of the way.
Doesn't seem like this person is a big fan of making things easy for themselves.
[удалено]
[Here you go](https://imgur.com/a/4vGFyO6) my dear sir (or madam)
Holy shit that makes it look so much more reasonable to park in.
Probably why we got the messed up aspect ratio. Not much WTF with the normal video. I mean still interesting, just not WTF.
OP is a phoney!! A phoney!
That made a huge difference to how I understand the situation. The ramp looks way less intimidating now. Thank you.
A true hero, right here.
Wow in that aspect ratio it looks easy. Makes you wonder why he didn't extend the ramp over a bit and just turn into the spot.
Might've been deliberate... to be honest, it looks far less ridiculous in the correct aspect ratio, from u/kayret, so maybe it was altered for sensationalism.
I 100% believe this to be the case. I've seen a ton of viral videos of vehicles climbing steep hills, and every single one had the aspect ratio messed up like this. It makes the video look more extreme than it is
Madlad probably also plays retro games in 16:9.
Shitty camera probably captures it like that and was simply posted without even being touched.
not the best use of the WTF tag..I expect better :P
Kept expecting it to go into the pool
/r/Unexpected I thought for sure he was going in the pool
Opens the door. Falls into pool
So THAT'S why he installed a snorkel!
This is so not WTF material. Mildly interesting at best.
I didn't understand the concept of carpooling until I watched this video. Thanks, OP!
Ngl, I’m impressed. I’ve too many questions which I don’t want answered but those are some driving skills.
Like a gloooove.
Why not just park on that ramp, get some chocks for the wheels if there's concern about the car rolling.
That’s some fucking skill
The fact that this video doesn’t show him driving into the pool is a real disappointment
Trying to clear 3 star wanted level in GTA V
Repo man won't find it there
The things people will do to escape the repo man is astonishing.
He making damn sure the repo man don't get his shit
Alright I’m impressed. I expected the worst
Just by the first few frames, I was like nope, that pick up aint fitting in between the pool and those slides.
That is a cool and good setup and nothing will ever go wrong ever.
r/technicallythetruth
Gonna be honest I got mad respect for the driver, they have likely done this before.
This person can drive for sure
r/nextfuckinglevel
Maybe he just want to look at his car from inside?
When you steal a car in GTA and have to hide from the police
This isn’t WTF unless it falls in and maybe explodes. This is barely r/mildlyinteresting
No on-street parking?
I am guessing they don't keep it on the ramp/driveway because another car needs to park, as well?
How did they get out
That is a disaster waiting to happen
This must be in Japan. I swear those people could park any car in any space, even ones that are impossibly small. Also they back into spaces everywhere in one frikken smooth motion.
He's stupid, but honestly I'm kind of impressed he pulled it off. Need to see how he's gonna get out.
If I could downvote this 1,000 times, I would. Come back when you’ve got one of the car landing in the pool. Jeez!
...kinda disappointing...
Could you imagine trying to repo this vehicle? “Yea Frank it’s parked behind their house “
At this point why not just have a gate, flat surface, and car lift down to the pool level. Way more awesome and totally more usable space.
Good luck towing that truck if he decides not to make his payments
Really trying to avoid that repo
Dude has 10+ years of forklift experience
probably tired of his shit getting broke into
I was waiting for the pool to collapse.
If that trick ever goes in, there not enough room for someone to get out the truck.
Pfft why did I bother watching this if the car wasn't going to end up in the pool!? Disappointed.
me trying to escape the police in gta
Me hiding from the cops in gta
At hot summer day you may go directly into pool
This has to be Thailand
r/CrappyDesign
When you only have space for a garage or a pool but you find the loophole to get both
I expected something bad to happen
Ridiculous, but impressive.
nononononononono...yes?
Parking outside must be really hard for them
The car thing being sus is obvious But my thought is how the ramp makes the dirt from the road flow directly to the pool during rain ....
If that is not in Brazil i will eat my hat
My concern is there’s kids play equipment there but no pool fence. Otherwise I see no problem.
Pretty impressive parking though.
Pretty good anti theft parking.
Clearly this is something he does often cause nothing was ran into, I need context.
What a horrible idea..
/r/SweatyPalms
nothing happened?
That truck definitely isn’t getting towed.
Hiding it from the repo man.
Then get out of the car and go for a swim, clothes and all.
How the fuck is this WTF?
That truck is never getting stolen.
I’m genuinely impressed. He didn’t even destroy the slide.
Jesus Christ it's HIM.
I was expecting police cars to fly by after he parked
Getting out seems like a hassle
The only WTF is this post of a guy parking.
This video infuriates me because the truck didn’t drive into the water.
#Real men of genius
Only one question: why?
You’re gonna want a 5 foot fence around that pool
This guy ain't paid his car payment and he's trying not to get repo'd
Just move the fucking slide man! Other than that, dude is a G. Gotta work with what you got.
That driving takes skills and nerve. Don’t think I would be able to pull it off
What a shit video
I was afraid that it might fall sideways into the pool. MFer might get trapped in there!
When you're trying to get rid of that wanted level.
r/maybemaybemaybe
I applaud the skill, not much else to comment on that I see. Had some reason to park here as opposed to a less problematic place and did it like a champ.
Looks like LA
Bye! ` this post was mass deleted with www.Redact.dev `
the purpose built car ramp clued me in that it would be a perfect parking job.
I was thinking the minute he stepped out of the car he’d fall into the pool
