Why no reaction ?

Well in fairness, cars in America are like twice the size they are here. lol

LOL, was thinking the same thing- I'm surrounded by Hummers here in New York,
If something similar happened to an Irish Leader ,some people would be taking the piss out of us Micks,
FWIW the incident did make several of the TV network news coverage over here, suspect someone in the SS got their arse kicked!

Here is a detailed drawing of the car.Note the description of the driver.

Agree.....only in Ireland and also if it happened to Enda we would take the piss out of ourselves.

Great diagram.....noticed that drivers window opens 3 inches so that he can PAY A TOLL!!

Am I alone on this or does this sound daft?

Did anyone else notice that it was the front suspension that collapsed, not that it got beached ?

look at the clip and watch the front wheels, they shoot up as the suspension collapses.

Well as Obama said in the pub in Moneygall the President always pays his way.

It was hilarious, I thought it would be a viral sensation too, when I checked youtube, only 2.2 million hits, so it's not fairing too badly, but was expecting more.

That driver/reccie team got dragged over the coals for sure.

Oh shit yeah, you're right. Hadn't spotted that ..... the two front wheels literally lift off the ground and the car lands on its belly. So it wasn't the bloody ramp.

So what the hell was it then ? Some sort of fancy security feature gone wrong ?

Dude it's a Cadillac. All (or at least most) American cars are shite! Ya they look well and good, but as far as quality goes... Ford are one of the few exceptions, although history of said cars with friends & family prove otherwise.
