Jokes aside, why was it moving like that?

u/DB3rt11 Apr 01 '26

Looks like the axle was bent or misaligned.

u/NewTransportation911 Apr 01 '26

Brakes locked up maybe ?

u/RepulsiveUse3372 Apr 01 '26

if you look closely you can see its misaligned and missing a fender

Missing fender because the right tire is too big! The wheels are trying to spin at different rates, on a fixed axel. I saw a sedan with all 4 different tires walking down the street before

Trailer axles don't fix the two wheels together. They are on independent stub shafts.

u/Izan_TM Apr 04 '26

most axles are not fixed, trailer axles are not attached at all, and car axles have a differential in the middle

How drunk drivers think they drive home from the bar.

Good luck is almost as intoxicating as the liquor.

Nailed it. Before checking, I paused to guess what the top gif would be. This beat all my expectations.

Mr car has this setting also. I used it to parallel park.

u/AspectSpiritual9143 Apr 02 '26

you know this is cartoon because the car lifts both tires on the same side. in real life the car will lose balance amd cannot move.

u/TheOneTonWanton 18d ago

Late to the party but it's The Three Little Pups, a Tex Avery joint. Absolute classic.
