During the recent violent rains in Copenhagen, some woman takes a hint from Oregon Trail and decides to FORD IT!

Looks to me like she wasn't wearing any pants either :confused:

I think she did it on purpose just to get rescued by mister hunk (and yes that was one short skirt holy poo poo, not necessarily a bad thing)

"Der er tilsynladende ingen grænse for dumhed."

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess this is moonspeak for "there is no cure for stupid."

Dumhed is an awesome word, and we should definitely adopt it.

drat, so there's a video that handily trumps that but I'm struggling to find it.

It was a subaru at the Monte Carlo rally (I think) back in the late 90s/early 2000s where the driver clipped the outside curb, got kicked up in the air, hit the inside cliff wall and flipped the car. It ended up on its roof hanging over open air.

Google isn't helping me one damned bit.

The direct translation would be "apparently there is no limit to stupidity", so yeah. Basically the same thing.

If you break down the word into "dum" and "hed", you get "stupid" and "hot". I think stupid hot fits quite nicely, given the situation :v:

China has the right idea I think -- smaller engines because you're never going terribly fast. The highway speed limit is 120 kph but it's enforced by speed cameras (so there's no margin), and in the city you're lucky if you hit more than 50 kph at any time.

Some good engine noises that you dont get to hear when its on TV.
The Jags, Ford GT's, Corvettes and Aston :lol:a are far and away the best sounding of the bunch.

Its a shame the RSR Jaguars are still so drat slow because they sound awesome in person.

Absolutely nothing. It sounds awesome, can win races and has two really likeable drivers (Lucas Luhr and Sasha Massen)

The Jaguars on the other hand debuted over a year and a half ago and have done nothing but be unreliable and slow, especially for a factory effort.

I live in the town where this event is, worst loving weekend of the year.

I mean, a lot of the cars are really cool but god drat after 25 years of it I've had about enough. Made a thread about it last year, didn't even go watch any of the cars this year, even though I live in the city center.

Yeah, it's a mock-up. There's an article on it in this month's Hot Rod.

The shaft that drives the blowers is 8 feet long and weighs 240 pounds. Inside the intake there are multiple chambers that open and close to equalize pressure, but he's not telling anyone how it works.

Haha my college in PA used these as maintenance vehicles for the campus. The temptation to joy ride one of them was strong but they kept them under tight security for probably that exact reason.
