You are in luck, MCM's S5 Ep3 dropped today

As for car modding shows? MCM pretty much is alone in it's format. I cant really think of anything as good or as extensive.

It's kind of sad, really. If he would just straighten his poo poo up and play fair so people could actually trust him. His shop produces some great stuff like the Venom GT, but I can understand why people are extremely hesitant to hand over their cars or money to a man with such a bad reputation.

Yeah, at this point I haven't heard of the old part scavenging and such in a while, so it seems like they may have cleaned up their act there, but the problem is that John to this day wants to act like it was no big deal. He needs to make a serious public apology for a lot of those aware of his past to trust him.

Of course I realize the little reason he has to care, since the majority of those who distrust him due to that are people like me who likely will never be in the market for one of his vehicles.

These may be taken down at any time by NASCAR, they've been hitting them all night because of liability issues regarding those injured, like as in identifying people not lawsuit protection.

That last video, was wondering what all the fuss was about, then he pans to the left and you see the wheel sitting on a chair next to somebody... loving hell.

Yeah, pretty much this. It would be courteous, but in a serious race, none of the top guys are gonna give up a spot to anyone, it's your job to make the pass. Especially if they are in to close to a podium spot. Watch supercross racing sometime, where its the norm to do everything you can to prevent a pass, and the passer will probably take out the guy in front of him if he gets a chance.

How long has it been since the last crazy Russian dashboard video? Here's one from Ukraine instead:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R19pmNTxa5s

Lady is "cut off" by a guy in the Skoda at the beginning and goes absolutely nuts over it. At one point she asks (what appears to be) her daughter riding shotgun to give her the pepper spray, and at another point tells another child on the phone to go to school on their own because she's busy. I think that's an early candidate for Mother of the Year 2013 right there.

If you have a dashcam in an Eastern European country, you must know why they're useful. You have probably seen other dashcam videos. You have therefore probably seen people produce, and use, firearms as a response to road rage incidents.

So yeah, good thing you've got your pepper spray with you. :allears:

Probably not all, but most I've seen have EU-compatible plates except instead of the stars and country code on the left, they have a national flag or coat of arms or something like that. Also, the letters you see there are technically Cyrillic, but are limited to the subset that has a similarly looking Latin counterpart. The more you know!


I'm quite used to seeing testosterone-fueled morons pulling out hatches on each other for no reason, but having a woman do this over a relatively tame maneuverer is what made it stand out for me. But you know what makes this even better? That channel has also videos of her husband/boyfriend driving. Check out his style:

:downsbravo:

Edit: What an rear end, both worked just seconds before I posted this. Basically, he was driving just like the Octavia guy from before and I found these two instances where he did the exact same thing by jamming into a turn lane right at the very end. He probably started to get called on it so made them private.

That was really exciting to watch. I liked watching the cars get progressively more difficult to pass as he moved up the line.

They've come a long way for sure. Their early videos were half-assed accompaniments to their print articles, now they're putting out genuinely enjoyable content.

I've really been loving all the Youtube car channels lately. Especially as each one steps up their production value they all compete to stay at the same level resulting in better shows all around. I like Drives format with different shows, on different days, in different categories. Muscle cars, bikes, reviews, its really a great time for car shows. Added bonus with no commercials.
