We rarely think of dinosaurs as being a threat to our cars nowadays, but this video proves otherwise. Apparently “Transaurus” is a “power monster” created to clear an island of mutants. Or something like that.

The victimized automobile in the video is described as a “junk car.” Hmm. It looks like a fairly viable vehicle to me. How can you be sure that Transaurus won’t consider your car a junk car at some point in the future?

I won’t say that your car will definitely be eaten by a gigantic robotic dinosaur if you don’t ship it with Nationwide. It’s highly unlikely. I will say, however, that your car will never be eaten by a gigantic robotic dinosaur IF you ship it with Nationwide!

After all, we pamper your car like nobody’s business because it’s our business: getting your car anywhere in the 48 contiguous states quickly and safely.

Have you noticed? It’s been hot here in the Great American Midwest. So I wanted to think cool thoughts and write about something cool. “Cool” as in both, “Cool, man!” and, “Cool like ice.”

I think I found it in the video above. Driver Nick Heidfeld drives an F1 race car all around a frozen lake. There’s no need for air conditioning as you watch!

Technically, the title of this blog is incorrect: You can, if you wish, try to drive your car on a frozen lake. But it’s definitely not recommended: Your car could break through the ice and sink to the bottom. At that point, you’d be driving underwater.

And why drive on ice when you need to get your car to your destination? Or through the blazing heat of summer? That’s what Nationwide Auto Transport is for: Shipping your car quickly under extremely safe conditions. All year round!

Here are a couple videos dealing with the all-important topic of driving underwater. Have you ever heard of Rinspeed? According to Wikipedia,

Rinspeed is a Swiss automobile manufacturer and tuning designer. Rinspeed specialise in restoring classic cars, and tuning and modifying modern cars (like Porsches and Subarus). They also design exotic concept vehicles for the Geneva Motor Show each year. Rinspeed was founded in 1979 by Frank Rinderknecht.

Here Rinspeed has come up with a car that can drive–or at least propel itself–underwater. Note that the driver–dressed up like James Bond, it would appear–and his passenger–dressed up like a Bond girl, it would appear–still require scuba gear to complete their journey.

I don’t know about these other dudes. They are driving some sort of truck underwater in the river. Apparently those inside the vehicle are simply holding their breath.

All I can say is,

DON’T TRY THIS AT HOME!

Or in your local lagoon or river, for that matter. Cutting across bodies of water can seem like a shortcut, but usually your car will just sink to the bottom.

It’s the kind of shortcut that we at Nationwide never take. Instead, we transport your car by truck, pampering it all the way.
