The "wins / loses" bit is funny since the difference in drivers is as big a factor as the difference in cars - whoever was in the S certainly knows how to pull a decent reaction time. The guy in the Corvette was drat near asleep at the light the first time around.

Either way... impressive as all hell.

Yeah the on track result seems much closer than the time slip indicates

The Corvette ran a 12.049 @ 118mph while the Model S ran a best of 12.379 @ 110mph.

3/10s and 8mph is a pretty decent margin to win buy.

The Model S is still fast as hell for what it is (a 4dr sedan). Definitely 2 cool cars.

The only thing white people deserve is a bullet to their empty skull

Holy poo poo. If you want to see people driving terrifyingly fast in snow/ice while making poor decisions and paying the price, Russian dashcam crash videos are where it's at.

On a lighter note, I clicked on another one and scrolled through the mostly-Russian comments... and noticed that Google has integrated Google Translate. This one is amazing. (Context: the end of the video features a non-crash in which a sedan driver punishes a truck driver for driving slow in the left lane with brake-checking and other harassment.)

quote:

+1Rost1 Agrees with you. But the road - a place of public use. The driver of the sedan was not supposed to be up this! He did not know how many people are lucky minibus, he played offended "I". So drivers sending rays of anal herpes ... teachers shits ...

Gummy Bear Heaven ... It's where I go when the world is too mean.
I "enjoyed" changing the brake lights in my old Cavalier. One side: pull carpet, turn, remove, replace. Other side: pull carpet, turn, realize the hole was mirrored from the other side but the bulb turns in the other direction relative the hole and just gets stuck behind the sheet metal, remove tail light assembly.

Taillight replacement is the sole redeeming quality of the PT Cruiser.

-Remove the 1 philips screw on the outside of the car and pull housing away from the car.
-Replace the bulb.

My loving neighbour did that once and asked me for help because I'm a "car guy". Actually, it was a matrix as well. I screwed the clip back in and showed him how the twist lock works.

before you ask, yes I did inform the DMV of my condition and medication, and I passed the medical and psychological evaluation when I got my license. I've passed them every time I have gone to renew my license.

Wait, the fact that it doesn't have tool-less light replacement is a redeeming quality?

How so? Assuming it's a cut-rate shipping sort of thing, there probably isn't a lot of repercussions for the ship/crew.

Well A) I'm sure just about everybody has a screwdriver laying around somewhere, as opposed to the deep socket needed to do taillights on my Protege, and B) It's external, meaning no loving around with removing the trunk liner or interior plastic panels (I'm looking at you, Mercedes).

So it's like a snowmobile, except none of your body weight contributes to traction, and you can't use your body weight to steer it in deep snow. If they could somehow make it more expensive and have a shorter range than a snomobile, i'd be completely sold!

Those cranes are fairly large, but i still don't think they'd remain unscathed in a sitation like that.
