Watch a Taxi Get Hit by a Truck Tire

This sort of video makes us glad we don’t live in a third-world nation where inspecting a big, heavy truck is not an issue before it hits the road. Just imagine you are driving along, minding your own business when something rear-ends you.
Is this a truck tire that Optimus Prime lost while filming Transformers 3? No, it’s just your regular old set of wheels from some jalopy.

The most interesting thing to look out for in the clip is the way it rolls along like it’s on rails. It’s like a guided missile and hits that taxi with pinpoint precision. Maybe the driver charges too much, or maybe he is irresistible to truck tires - we will never know.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s.
