I honestly thought that "hellaflush" was a term people like us came up with to mock people who actually like that stuff. I had no idea that's what they actually call it themselves. Well now I don't know what to think :P

Edit: oop, top of page. Here's a modified Corvette going 230mph and crashing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1l6TW6OCpc4

When did AI become full of purists? "Ruining" cars by US standard is a whole tradition and culture over there. Ill let Clarkson walk you through a Japanese car accessory store. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kk_FCi7PLvE#t=2m05s.

He makes a good point that in Japan, very few people have large houses so for most people to show off, it has to be through your car.


\/ Valid but I don't think that the hella flush people in that video hated driving their cars or unable to drive them.
Not saying its what I would choose to do with my car and money but people have done far stupider and more expensive modifications to their cars. Showroom Lowriders come to mind instantly.

These things do not drive at all.

Using the word 'purists' is a bit of a stretch. The fact is, we enjoy DRIVING cars here. That's not being a purist.

Thanks for the description.
Engine catches fire during hillclimb (not the good kind of hillclimb) and flaming car goes careening at crowd.

I cannot believe how dumb/unprepared some of these events are.
In other words, how can you wear a full suit but overlook the basic "hey, I might need a fire extinguisher."

At least they had the good sense to dig a huge ditch that backwards rolling cars would go in and make all the spectators stay behind it. That could have been way worse. Neat video though.

:staredog: Is that the shifter at 1:30 with the 2' throw? I'm guessing only two gears?
Edit: nevermind, i kept watching and now there's two levers. So which lever is the velocitator and which the deceleratrix?

I've obviously watched way too many web videos. I was expecting a much more... disfiguring ending.

But seriously, if you inflate your plastic-wheeled tire to over 60psi, then you're really asking for whatever happens after that.

That is both glorious and terrifying at the same time. I'd sooner max a Veyron than drive in that thing at that speed, but God it's a thing of beauty. Besides, even when he was getting overtaken, the open cockpit gave a much greater sense of speed to begin with, particularly when you see he's just propped up on leather-clad bench with no belt or anything.
