I do believe the car is to drag the boat out of the water

1. Man, that's a bunch of levels of WRONG...

Why is the boat trailer detached from the vehicle in the first place? And in the water with the boat still on it no less. In addition to the obvious, there's a long and interesting story of things gone terribly wrong behind that clip. The humor and nuttiness of the boat ramp. An American, summer time tradition.

6. My guess is the original vehicle wasn't able to pull the boat

out of the water. So, detach from the car and get a bigger vehicle.

8. Love this!

I was quite surprised to see an Amish family buying a kayak in Tractor Supply. Who knew?

4. You just misunderstood which side of the lake...

he wished to exit from.

5. As you may note, that is one of the new driverless cars.

Perhaps the insurance was getting hot on the car and it needed cooling down. It is certainly a way to push the boat out without getting your feet wet.

If the boat operator had been on the ball, he would have fired up those dual outboards and pushed the car back in while pushing was an option.

7. Looks like he'll have to take the boat home
