And he gets himself nailed by an old-timey train, too...I mean, really? Come on, dude. The train is so fucking distinct, you’d have to be blind to not notice it coming.

The lamppost ding makes this, though...

I wanna guess kids screaming in the back seat, but then again the train is definitely making a big “WOOOOOOOoooo” noise that would drown even that out.

Ever had a car full of screaming kids?

This might’ve been intentional.

Getting hit by a slow moving steam engine in 2018... I think this probably qualifies one for an honorable mention at next year’s Darwin awards.

Wow that’s a good one. Not like the train was massive and blowing a freaking steam whistle or anything!

It’s at this point that he knew, he fucked up

Seriously you hit probably the only functional model of that train in the entire world, at what looks like an event for old timey trains. How on god’s green earth do you manage that.

“He just hit a car.” Nooo. The car hit him.

Haha, that caught my ear too. I guess yeah, physics would say that the train hit the car, but according to right-of-way, it’s the other way ’round.

My guess it was some incredibly ancient dude who shouldn’t be on the road anyway. You saw regularcars visit to a steam power show right?

these kinds of people.

Never underestimate the idiocy factor. Steam engines are a harsh mistress.
