This is dropping into a bowl done wrong on so many levels.
The Acura MDX is a perfectly competent SUV that will ferry you and your offspring to and fro with minimal fuss. While it's at home in most environments, a skate park certainly isn't one of them – that's Lexus territory. This MDX driver decided, for some reason, to tackle Colorado's Memorial Skate Park in his Acura, leading to some fairly embarrassing results.
The premium SUV gingerly approaches the edge of a bowl at an angle, pushing the right rear side of the MDX up into the air. Even though it's got some extra ground clearance, the Acura isn't a true off-roader. As it plunges in, the undercarriage scrapes the concrete edge before the rear bumper is ripped off on the right side.
It's unclear as to why the driver of this MDX would do this. Not only did he damage his car, but could have potentially put the lives of young kids at risk by pulling this bizarre stunt. He most likely damages his front bumper as the Acura hits the ramp across the way. The SUV struggles for grip, the front wheel spinning momentarily before setting off again.
Clearly, this MDX owner was not in his right mind. Wearing no seatbelt and blasting Mark Morrison's Return of the Mac, he navigates his way through the skate park in a nonchalant manner, much to the shock of passers-by and witnesses.
It's worth noting the skate park, like numerous examples across the country, is not protected by guard rails or bollards, meaning it's all too easy for someone to drive in and cause damage and potential injury. Perhaps the next time he chooses to traverse a skatepark, he will opt for something a bit less road-biased.
Better yet, he should return on an actual skateboard, like the $800 board made from the skid blocks of Lewis Hamilton's old F1 car. Alternatively, he could always strip the door off his MDX and put some trucks and wheels on like a crazy Tesla fan did a few years ago. We're willing to bet both are still a lot cheaper than the hefty repair bill facing the owner of this busted MDX.
