I think the kid was gunning for 200mph and underestimated how long it would take to slow dow which led to him careening over a berm.Phone posted:Their overall velocity is the combination of the horizontal speed and vertical speed. Think of vector addition. Bingo.

Okay, so plugging in the values given in the article (x=20m, y=60m), it looks like they were only travelling about 110km/h when they left the runway. Now, I guess you'd add that velocity (plus or minus drag) to the 70km/h or so of vertical velocity they'd gained.  A little macabre for a physics lesson. Oh, and for those who are broken, like me, and immediately cast their minds back to Top Gear showing just how cars can (or can't) fly, a link: http://www.bbc.co.uk/topgear/clips.shtml?09 Simkin fucked around with this message at 07:26 on Jan 28, 2008 |

Yeah, well apparently there's a thread on an M5 board where this kid posted a thread about hard shifts at 140mph or something and then three pages later everyone realizes that the kid was 18, signed his post Josh, drove a grey E60 and was from the same area and puts two and two together to realize that he was the same kid. So yeah, I think he was doing some top speed runs (although isn't the M5 limited to 155?) and just miscalculated and ran out of room. I can't even imagine what that must have sounded like to the neighbors.

They're still waiting on the toxicology reports, they believe the driver was probably drunk which would explain the "miscalculation". Not to mention going those speeds, at night, on an unlit runway is really dumb, his decision making was obviously impaired. He was either drunk, retarded, or both.

That is the trade off for swedish womens beauty is their native tongue sounds like someone screaming in terror the whole time. For instance hello sounds a lot like a woman falling off a building. Works well for rally co drivers though.

I didnt enen know there was a sequel to gone in 60 seconds! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dReW8_Ugd_M Car-nage from GONE IN 60 SECONDS 2 (clip) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hXFD-cPwbXk Gone in 60 Seconds 1974 - 2/4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kv5d2mXy7dY&NR=1 Mad Driving Skills At first I was laughing, but then they did some neet stuff, I like the syncronized parallel parking. http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=GDJOLR3IEQA I'[d blame the stupid lights on top. I was looking for some old volvo commercials, similar to this one: http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=tcveU2SqnsM Fiat 124, Remi Julienne. He did some cool commercials back in the 70's, and I think he was the guy that did the volvo ones, but i cant find them  Or anything wiht the Uni-Roy-Al team, they had some neat commercials. I also couldnt find a clip of a white car (wrx?) smoking all 4 tires around a track, then back into the pit, but i've seen it E: This is funny, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PgAUdWyW8_g&feature=related hippynerd fucked around with this message at 05:46 on Jan 31, 2008 |

hippynerd posted:You seem to be right about the car Again, I must restate this: Stop fagging up youtube videos with (lovely) music. Honestly, sounds of the burnout, along with the engine revving and the turbo spooling up would be way better. Instead they're downed out by noise. If you really must throw music in to cover up the parts that aren't interesting, do it like this video, and have the music either cut out or fade almost completely away once the action starts. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i1RA2aTTo-4 How about an AWD burnout done with some proper style, none of that wussy tie-down bullshit. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZvIXgIFqnGg Some more of that Dahlbeck Audi. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ReZegfLr8EI Here's a wagon doing donuts, JUST LIKE A REAL CAR. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ljbVf7WdDQI Also, kids: Don't do indoor burnouts, however cool the idea may sound. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OtDsrRMCvFY Finally, just so I don't get accused of being anti-American or anything... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=py-3XuCUkzs Is he driving on a rim at the end?

You're right on the car ID. I thought something seemed a little odd that there was a spare mounted on the rear, and lettering on the lower sill. Also, what kind of sick gently caress posts pics like those? Also, as unimaginative and dull as that commercial was, it was still more exciting than the game Here's the non-SUV fox, showing that it makes a better soccer player than a crumple zone. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uOun_ugWMP8
