Stormy day?

What I don't understand is how this little car got all the way up in the mountains in a first place, was the driver pushing it or something?

Was the driver pushing it or something?

Reminds me to tell you that you forgot to add the 0-60 times

Reminds me to tell you that you forgot to add the 0-60 times

That depends on the size of the driver. But on the serious note I would love to know that.
