Having a swimming pool in your back yard can provide you with a great deal of fun. You can either have a marathon if the pool is big enough, or just enjoy a smoothie while waiting for a tan. Whatever you decide to do, just don’t try to make a splash using a car...
While it may sound like a redundant piece of advice, we have proof that some people have actually taken their car into the pool. It happened in southern Ontario, Canada, where a certain owner decided to demolish his pool using a worn-out Jeep Cherokee XJ.

Surprisingly enough, the pool survived the encounter with the almost 3,300 lbs SUV, so the owner to bring out the chain saw to finish the job. Well, if you ask us, that’s no way to remove a pool, but it sure looks like those people had a lot of fun. Probably would have been a different story with casualties involved, so just remember not to try this at home.
