A $5-million garage and it's got a Jeep Wrangler, a Discovery, and Chevy Cruze in it? "Gotta protect those cars at all cost." Um, why?

Its been posted here before, and it was widely speculated that all the nice cars were removed before the filming for security reasons. He wanted to show off the garage, but not tell everyone in the world exactly how many millions in cars he keeps down there.

It was confirmed the nice cars were removed. The guy has a few million in some very impressive cars that do the garage justice.

There was a youtube video just called Audi S1 "The Sound," that I got from this forum several years ago. It showed up in my related videos CONSTANTLY until very recently, but now that I try to search for it, it seems the account has been suspended. I hope like hell someone here mirrored it.

With these people that crash when they go into a turn, am I right in thinking they wouldn't crash (or they'd be less likely to) if instead of panicking and mashing the brakes, they mashed the gas and basically steered with the pedal?

Somehow found this on a youtube expedition started by something here, hopefully not a repost. Supercharged Grand Prix cars 1924-1939, complete insanity from start to finish and we can only imagine what they might have done with modern tires.

They're probably letting completely off the gas, which causes oversteer because weight transfer to the front of the car. Mashing the brakes just makes it worse.

Standard panic reaction for inpexperienced drivers is to release all pedals. Slightly more experienced drivers mash the brake (and possibly clutch). It takes a certain degree of confidence to keep on it and drive trough it instead of panicking.

E: That dude on the motorcycle at 4:45 sure knows how to crash properly.

If you're talking about the part 5 minutes in, it looks like there was a spill or something, but most of the time this is true. If you're ever watching a crash video of that sort you can almost always hear them lift. Either that, or target fixation.

I'll never understand lifted trucks with big chrome wheels. I can understand them on a dropped sport truck, but on a 4x4? It looks ridiculous.

that chevy might have some gnarly flat spots on its tires if the drive kept his foot on the brakes the entire time, but only an idiot would do that. And we all know that idiots never get into parking lot truck tug-of-wars:v:

It's more or less just the natural evolution of sticking lunch trays under the rear wheels and having the handbrake on.

Seems like there's a business opportunity everywhere.

E: "They should come up with a skin like that for summer tires to turn them into winter tires" from the comments. On the surface, it seems like a neat idea, sort of an evolution of snow socks, I guess? But I don't think it's safe for higher speeds nor strictly legal, unfortunately.

That's neat I guess if you already have a battery pack like that but drat, 14S 8P (112 total) battery pack of A123 cells. Don't those cost like $10-14 ea? You can get a cheap MIG for less.

That is just cool as gently caress. I imagine they changed fluids before trying to turn it over, and I guess legally they had to disable the gun before they could take it. Wonder why they cut the barrel rather than remove the breach with a torch.

I don't think they did, you can see the first time they turn it over a big rust cloud fires out of the exhaust. Plus I can't imagine doing an oil change on a 70 year old tank sitting in a field is easy.

It's more a cool thing to show off how much beef those A123 batteries have. I have no doubt a real welder would be more useful, more refined and cheaper.
