When This Dog Realizes He’s Going To The Park, He Goes Absolutely Bonkers ⁰

Car rides tend to be long and tiresome.

On more than one occasion over the course of my childhood, I asked the question that every parent dreads: “Are we there yet?” They says it’s not the destination but the journey that’s most important, but good luck telling that to this overly excited pooch.

At first glance, the critter in question appears calm and collected…but then he figures out where he’s going: the dog park. When he finally gets a peek at all the fun to be had, he goes absolutely berserk. At one point, the excited dog can be seen taking over the driver’s seat. That human just needed to go faster!

I don’t think I’ve even been this excited about anything…except maybe ice cream. Yeah, definitely ice cream.

She Got Into Her Grandson’s Car, But When He Turned The Radio On, She Began To Cry ⁰

There’s nothing I love more than a successful birthday surprise.

Pulling off such a feat can be tricky, and my mother has ruined quite a few of them over the years by opening her mouth (but we all still love her anyway). After watching how this grandson gave his grandmother the best birthday surprise ever, I think it’s time I turned the tables on my mother by pulling off something similar. Let’s just hope I can keep a secret.

In this case, our unsuspecting birthday girl climbs into the passenger’s seat of her grandson’s car, anticipating a fun day out with one of her favorite people. He begins to fiddle with the radio when a special announcement comes over the speakers, and what happens next sends the adorable granny on an emotional rollercoaster.

This really takes the birthday cake!

Here’s hoping I can keep my big mouth shut long enough to plan my mother a birthday surprise half as amazing as this one!

Frank had fully accepted that it wouldn’t be possible for his two boys to be there for his wedding.

After all, they were in Arizona and the wedding was in Michigan. The cost of plane tickets is so insane, and they seem to be getting more expensive every day.

Little did Frank know, however, that his boys had arrived in town the night before the wedding. Lured outside with the promise of an awesome surprise, this loving father couldn’t help but cry when he saw what his friends had hidden in the back of their truck.

Frank’s love for his boys is clear, and the moment he sees them is a total tearjerker. Grab your tissues!

Best. Gift. Ever. I’m going to be wiping my eyes all day.

He Was Taking A Ride In The Countryside When Something Made Him Spring Into Action ⁰

Driving around on a solo trip though the hills, one man came across something scary. At first, he just saw a discarded helmet, but when he took a closer look, he found a fellow rider in dire straits.

Without wasting any time, he hopped off of his bike and ran over to a man who had been pinned under his quad. He didn’t film it for attention, but the GoPro camera that was strapped to his helmet happened to capture footage of the entire rescue mission. Check it out!

The man had only been pinned for a short time by the time our hero got to him, but in situations like this, every second counts. We’re just thrilled that the biker found him in time!

After Someone Stole His Spot, This Guy Got The Ultimate Parking Revenge ⁰

One of the most infuriating things ever is when someone takes the parking spot you were clearly waiting for.

I can’t tell you how many times this has happened to me, especially right before class started while I was in college. The worst part is that there’s nothing you can do about it unless you want to ram your car into theirs and damage both in the process — well, at least that’s what I thought until this guy came along.

After waiting for a car to pull out of a parking spot so that he could pull in, another vehicle came out of nowhere and parked there instead. But this Jeep driver refused to accept that rudeness and had the last laugh.

If only my car was capable of doing this to every inconsiderate driver.

I just wish I could have seen the other driver’s face when they came back out to the parking lot. Serves you right, sucker!

Before Winter Strikes, You’ll Need To Know This Hack To Warm Your Car Up Faster ⁰

Perhaps the worst part of getting ready for work in the winter is waiting for your car to warm up.

Shoveling a foot of snow is nothing compared to having to impatiently wait for your car to get nice and toasty and your windshield to defog during the winter months. And if you’re like me, you wait until the last minute to get ready, so there isn’t much time to waste heating that nonsense up.

Luckily for us procrastinators, one YouTuber has found the perfect hack to quickly warm up cold cars without wasting those precious moments.

Who knew all you needed to stay warm on your commute was a pizza box?

Okay, his car is already in a slightly warmer garage, but will this work for the frigid car sitting in my driveway? I guess I’ll have to find out.

Baby Delivery SWAT Style

With everything that’s been going on in the country lately, Texas SWAT Deputy Mark Diebold had started to doubt himself as a police officer. One morning, he decided to pray to God to send him a sign that he should continue on his chosen career path. Hours later, Diebold got a sign unlike any other.

While out on patrol, the deputy pulled over a large black car only to discover that the man driving was speeding in order to get his very pregnant wife to the hospital. Having faced plenty of scary situations in the past, Diebold says what happens next left him feeling more terrified than ever. Right there in the parking lot of a gas station, the brave deputy was called upon to help deliver a healthy baby girl into the world.

Helping strangers in such an incredible way lifted Diebold’s spirits. Carry on with the good work, officer!

What They Recorded Will Make You Think Twice About Driving Ever Again ⁰

Distracted driving is a huge problem in America, and despite our best efforts to combat it, the reckless behavior claims more lives every day. While not every instance ends in tragedy, there’s no excuse for risking your safety and the safety of others over a text.

Globally, roughly 1.3 million people die in car accidents each year, and between 20 and 50 million are injured. Distracted driving increases these chances, and when you see this video, you’ll be baffled by our dangerous habits.

In 2013, over 3,000 people were killed in car accidents involving distracted driving, and another 400,000 were injured. That’s what makes videos like the one below so alarming.

Let’s pledge to put our phones down and save the food for a table, not your lap. It’s far more important to get to our destinations alive than it is to multitask.

A Policeman Was Cruising Down A Road When He Stopped To Do Something Incredible ⁰

by MeDaryl • Cars • Tags: binny-gudjonsson, cops, dash cam, good-cops, heartwarming, kind, life, nice, random-acts, random-acts-of-kindness

When it comes to Russian dashboard recordings, we’re all too used to seeing hilarious attempts at insurance fraud, road rage incidents, accidents, or terrifying footage of natural disasters like this tornado video from last year.

Luckily, the dashcam footage below is nothing like any of that. What it shows is one police officer’s random act of kindness that is sure to warm your heart.

That might seem like a small gesture, but I’m sure it meant a whole lot to that woman. Good job, officer!
