Russian drivers are on the pre-war Indy/GP model of safety, you have a better chance of survival if you are thrown clear of the wreckage.

The last two are really only worse until you realize there was someone else still inside, in addition to, you know, the driver at 1:30  . Here's the last one from the opposite direction, this time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fql9iy8jvf0

I was just amazed to see a 2nd Gen Neon in Russia. I feel really bad for the truck driver in the jaywalking one. Its lovely as it sounds it was over for the victim in seconds. The driver has to deal with that poo poo for the rest of his life. I know a couple locomotive engineers and who have had jumpers and it seriously screws with them, to the point where one killed himself and the other quit and moved away and disconnected from everything.

Back in the olden days, a gentleman named Heinrich Lanz built tractors, and in his mind, tractors should be as "1-cylindered" as possible. In fact, he made tractors with up to 12000cc 1-cylinder engines. 12 friggin' liters. (Possibly  , I dunno)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZ1SLd-RMxo "My, that's a big piston in your tractor engine"  Look at that rockin' action! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABYHbHfBe_w Even better, the engines were two-stroke compression-ignition gasoline engines.

The RIP Speed thread got me wondering how good WRC coverage is these days (if it even really exists anymore). Low and behold, with the power of the internet and the advent of gopro-esque cameras, its gotten even better than the old days. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9C9NZfwHvAw It makes me wonder, do they put the onboard rigs in everyones car now? If not, they totally should. I'd pay really good money yearly to get access to every in-car plus telemetry (I'd pay even more if they could somehow pull off a live feed).

They are, but Roadkill is AI in video form. We live vicariously through Farah and Harris, I'm not so sure Freiburger and Finnegan aren't members here.

Ok that's just bizarre. I first saw a 1970 Super Bee last night and decided that if I ever own a classic American car it has to be one of those, and then today a roadkill starring it comes out. It's clearly destined to be.

He had the guy cutting him off on video. What more could you ask for? Why chase? Whatever the reason, it seems like he should have just given up. The lead car was much faster.

I fully support the two major viewpoints I get from those videos. 1. Tax the rich. They can afford it. 2. Drive your goddamn supercars. That's what they were made for.
