Today I learned that not only are drive-through trees a thing, but apparently jackasses with are muscling their way through the small openings, getting temporarily stuck. Will the wonders never cease?

This video was posted on July 3 by TikTok user @, and it shows a beefy Nissan Armada muscling its way through The Shrine, . Several unsettling cracks can be heard as the 78-inch wide SUV .

I love when the driver finally freed his giant vehicle from the two-and-a-half millennia old tree and began to clap for himself while no one else joined in. No, you doofus, the small crowd of folks staring at you struggling to free your car aren’t cheering you on, they’re worried about the tree.

There are three such drive-through trees in California — Shrine, Chandelier and and Tour Thru — located right off of Highway 101 about an hour drive from Eureka, California, according to . They are privately owned and will charge you between $10 and $20 for the thrilling experience of driving through a tree.

Which, alright! If that floats your boat, have at it. Unless your car is the size of a boat. In which case you might want to skip the Shrine, as it is the narrowest of the drive-through redwoods by far since the split was created by nature, not man.

The vehicle in the video was incorrectly identified as a Nissan Pathfinder, when it is actually an Armada. We regret the error and this post as been updated to reflect that.
