QuoteHere's An Insane Video Of People Changing Tires While Driving On Only Two Wheels
Paul Szoldra Today at 9:19 AM 5
Hagwalah driving

There's no need to pull over to swap tires when you can just pop up on two wheels and keep on moving.

Well, at least in this instance. A video posted to YouTube appears to show a Toyota FJ Cruiser lifted on two wheels — which is only the beginning — as it gets considerably more insane after five people hop out of the car and start changing the tires.

This illegal sport, if it can be called that, is apparently referred to as hagwalah in Saudi Arabia and other Arab countries, and this latest video is just one of many we've seen.

This could be the most amazing or dumbest thing you see today. Watch and decide:
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

How does the car manage to stay on two wheels that long?  :wacko:

The choice of car is important.

Also roads in SA are very very smooth.

I'm wondering how the tires survive this.  They aren't riding on the part of the tire designed to carry weight... let alone half the weight of an SUV plus a full load of passengers.

Meh, I'm not impressed.  They're not really changing tires, they're just unbolting them and putting the same ones back on.  That kind of misses the point of changing your tires.

As we discovered in an earlier thread, the average languishite doesn't know how to change tires at all.

Yeah, I'm waiting for the video "Changing radio stations while driving," that will be something to see.

I look forward to F1 crews implementing this method.

I've seen videos that start with texting while driving, or the more classic feat, drinking while driving. Those are mostly PSAs and snuff films.

This is old. Those crazy fucks have been doing shit like this for many years. For some reason since a couple years ago when they started selling the FJC in the middle east, they have used them a lot for this.

What sucks is they don't show off the videos of when it does not go well.   :mad:

pffft...easy peasy. Drive to dealership. Leave car. Come back an hour later. Fork over couple hundred bucks. Tires changed.

Yeah, what's weird is I've probably got more experience of changing car tyres than the majority of Languishites (the ones who drive too)
