On average, cars spend 95% of their lifespans parked.

US President Lyndon B. Johnson owned an amphibious car and used to drive guests into a lake to scare them. The car was a German-produced Amphicar, which was produced for public sale in 1961. One of the president’s former aides would later recall: “We reached a steep incline at the edge of the lake and the car started rolling rapidly toward the water.

“The president shouted, ‘The brakes don’t work! The brakes won’t hold! We’re going in! We’re going under!’”

looks like that car will roll down the hill into the water by the perspective they show!
