Apparently they caught (with the internet's help) the guy in the pink Silvia, but he claimed someone paid him $7000 for a test drive and did it during that test drive without his knowledge.

He's also since resprayed the car to red because he didn't like all the attention it got after the video.

Just make your own. Go to Home Depot, buy a piece of flat sheet stock, paint it blue and then weld it onto the car. No bends required for such a boxy little car.

To be fair the fenders arent sitting on the rear axles. The airbags sure did deploy though.

The fact that the noise before, and noise after, was just as grating - even more so.

Remember how there was an RS200 in the trailer for Fast and Furious 4? And how well that went? It's just a trap for car nerds :argh:. That said, Fast Five owned, and this movie has the same director & cast, so I am cautiously optimistic for now.

Put a glide in your stride and a dip in your hip and come on up to the mothership.

I learned from this video,

1. Lane splitting and generally riding much faster than the surrounding traffic is really, really stupid.
2. Motorcycles slide significantly further than riders.

Leave it to Brak

Only watched a 1/4 of it before I had to stop watching. I feel bad for those genuine ones that get cut off by suprise u-turns, but all the hoons, lane splitters and people riding on the opposite sides of roads trying to bypass traffic deserve everything that comes to them.

I genuinely cheered the other day as some dick split a lane and came up through a line of about 10 cars to get to the front at the traffic lights. He obviously didn't look in his mirrors and didn't see the cop that followed him up and pulled him over 100 m down the road.

The lane splitting comment reminded me of the Ride Apart that made the case that lane splitting is safer for pretty much everyone involved: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JNGD9AAIfFU

I agree with the Ride Apart guys; it's one less vehicle sitting in traffic. Lane splitting can certainly be done recklessly but if the relative speed difference is < 10~15mph it seems pretty fine. I'm glad it's legal in CA.

FWIW, I don't and will probably never ride a motorcycle.
