You legitimately cannot hate on this car. Lamborghinis were always the car shouting "LOOK AT ME!" hardest and this dude has just taken that design aesthetic to the logical conclusion ...a gold chrome leopard print wrap.

The lighter the car, the less tire it needs, and the smaller the wheel, the less unsprung weight.

If you buy a Lamborghini and it isn't the most garish, obnoxious thing on the road within 100 miles you did it wrong.

And on the three-wheeler chat, in WA all three-wheelers are motorcycles, you need an endorsement and technically need to wear a helmet. I've never heard of it being enforced though. I think Liberty Sidecar down on Rainier are selling Morgans around here.

My favorite part about the car is that it didn't have a cigarette lighter, but a cigar lighter. *I "stole" it from a car that had been sitting in my friends grandmothers field for ~10 years. It was rusted out to the point I lightly pulled on the plate and it pretty much fell off.

I hope he doesn't continue doing this poo poo; I couldn't imagine the guilt I'd feel not hearing a 200+ MPH biker coming while I was lane changing -- I hope he doesn't gently caress up someone else's life.

It'll be a community outreach type of thing that gets trotted out at police-related events, fairs and the like. You're on crack if you think it'll actually be used for law enforcement. The Aussie police did this with a lotus Exige IIRC and it's fairly common practice around the world. Wasabi the J posted:EDIT: I shouldn't wish harm on people. CAREPOST. At that speed, you may think you're changing lanes at a moderate speed but from his perspective your movements are absolutely glacial. What he's doing is insanely dumb and risky but, honestly, not fundamentally that hard. The cars pretty much become immobile obstacles at that sort of speed. FWIW I do hope he crashes because he gives people like me a bad name. Slavvy fucked around with this message at 07:54 on Jun 5, 2014 |

I'm pretty sure something would have happened by now if he was going to crash. Some people are just that good, and it seems like he's one of them, although it makes one wonder why he isn't riding in MotoGP or something.

He probably rides Isle of Mann, motogp would be too boring for him. At least if he wrecked his identity would still be a mystery since he'd be turned into a human smoothie at those speeds.

I believe he does/did race, which is probably why he does such a good job keeping his identity hidden. Well that and the poo poo ton of charges I'm sure the cops want to bring against him. I would honestly be amazed if he is still alive/pulling that poo poo. I remember first seeing his videos back in the very early 2000's. I know for a while everyone thought he was dead, but then he released a bunch of new videos, so who knows at this point. I still like this video, I am sure it would be better if I could understand what the cops are saying: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S2rMveL3lKc
