This is a video of the fun-loving Russian mechanics of Garage 54 (previously) replacing a car’s tires with manhole covers. Not the typical, thicker manhole covers from a roadway you’re probably thinking of though (that would be silly!), these are slimmer, sidewalk manhole covers, which were practically made to be tires. Who knew? And the braking distance — it’s like you don’t have brakes at all! I mean, not that I’ve ever needed them with so many curbs and parallel parked cars around.

Keep going for the video.
