Only In Florida... Man drives Ram truck in Ocean

[Morenar]

So I'm a Floridian but the things that happen here sometimes has me scratching my head. This was on the news this morning and I am pretty sure that's a Ram in the video.

New York man arrested after driving pickup truck into ocean at New Smyrna Beach, deputies say

Beachgoers might have stayed away from New Smyrna Beach on Tuesday due to high tides and windy weather, but one New York man went anyway, and he allegedly had one goal in mind: to drive on the beach.

Is that Daytona?
Check the license plates first...not every dumb thing done in Florida is done by a Floridian. Looks like a rental spec and he may have come down early for Bike week, though a month early probably rules that out.

Would have been nice if you asked to hear my side of the story before you bash me, mistakes happen. I was just heading to Walmart and made the wrong turn. Shame on me tor relying on gps and not using my brain when gps told me to turn and drive toward the ocean and that my destination was right there.

The link says a "New York man" So he's obviously a future Floridian It also notes New Smyrna Beach...

I get asked this just about every time I’m sent to another job w/ new crew when they find out I live in FL (most of them are midwesterners). Is it true what they show on TV about Floridians. I say man people lose their mind all over the place but for some reason when it happens in FL it’s broadcasted on every news station lol. Good amount is does by visitors lol once they’re away from the cold and in the heat they dk how to act.

Hope he likes rust and jail time.

Kinda impressed to be honest.
Kept waiting to see it get pulled out to sea.

When he turned around & headed back toward the sea at the end, I had Cleveland’s voice in my head going
“no… no… No… NO…. NO!!!!”

People lose their mind everywhere but I'll tell you....the way people drive down there scares the daylights out of me. They suck pretty bad here in NJ too but man, Florida takes the cake.

50% of the cars you see on the road down there have more hits on them than Barry Bonds. It's literally like real-life bumper cars and GTA combined.

New owners manuals will state that a Ram cannot surf and to not drive in the ocean.

Thats so true. Im in NW Florida so it’s typically not as bad here but a few weeks ago I was down in Orlando and I felt that way. I kept thinking yep these morons are the reason why we get such a bad rep where did you learn to drive lol. Had to keep my head on a swivel anytime I got on the road.

Lived in FL my whole life. We have plenty of meth heads and crazy but the last 10-20 years or so it’s all transplant northerners causing the majority of trouble. It’s either HOA Karen’s or wannabe NY tough guys acting foolish.

Gotta test the 4 wheel drive before purchase

$10 say alcohol was involved.

That would be funny if he were on a test drive and the sale guy is screaming at him in the truck.

Love what the guy told the cops. "It's not my fault the truck don't surf!"

I would be much more impressed if he did that with a RAM EV
