I kind of wish she would have punctured the sidewall and pissed herself when the tire exploded.

Car/light truck tires don't really explode when punctured that way. The frat nearest my dorm room sophomore year had a car smash party (one of the brothers had bought a beater car only to find out that no, you can't register without a title in mass, no matter what web of lies the previous owner spins for you, so they did a fundraising event, pay x amount and you get to smash such and such a part) and no one else was brave enough to slash the tires so my brother and I did it. First of all, it's surprisingly tough to do and a folding knife that doesn't lock back is going to gently caress you over, and second, it takes a lot of pressure unless you have a butterfly knife or double edged knife or something, which we didn't. And then they make a disappointingly quiet hissing/flatulent sound and go flat. Now, a heavy truck tire at 50+ PSI or a tire that's very very old and about to blow out anyways? Look the gently caress out, because poo poo will change in a hurry when you weaken it more by slicing/tearing a hole in it.

Plus, not only is the hole in the car tire very small (~35 psi x at best an 1/8 square inch hole equals not a lot of force), the smaller air volume means that pressure drops off a lot faster than an equivalent hole in a truck tire.

Dude knows how to handle a crazy woman, thats for sure. "well, this is happening. Theres no way to stop hurricane bitch at this point without having the hammer turned on me, and then getting charged with attacking her. I'm just going to whip out my phone and record this so I can just play it in court, drop the mic, and walk the gently caress out to thunderous applause."

Willing to bet that person backed into huge cement pillar in a parking structure of some sort. I've watched that happen a few times and the damage always looks like that. The pillar also always wins.

Honestly? In 99% of cases, if you manage to hit something huge and immobile at speeds that low, you weren't paying attention to your surroundings anywhere near well enough to be operating a two ton missile at any speed, and deserve to pay out the rear end for your mistake; call it idiot tax. Now, if you get rear-ended by someone else that's a different story, but in that case their insurance should be covering it anyway.

gently caress any body shop that would charge you over $700 for that front-end Mazda 6 impact. There's no damage at all. EDIT: Jesus, the full-width rear impact is the same thing. Captain Trips fucked around with this message at 05:20 on Jun 12, 2014 |

Yeah, but most people don't realize it's a bumper cover + paint and a foam backer. And body shops are full of retards who have spent way too long breathing paint fumes.

When I had my Stratus, I once rear-ended an Accord that left a traffic light then suddenly stopped for a soggy cardboard box in the road. It was raining and I couldn't keep my brakes from locking up, and I couldn't have been going more than 12 MPH when I hit them; the airbags didn't even pop. However, the crash did over $6,000 worth of damage to my car and rendered it undrivable (the Accord ended up with just a notch punched out of their bumper about a foot-and-a-half across).

That hoopty just went back around to awesome. He might not know how to make interiors, but he knows how to wire stereos. Even his shittastic panel work manages to look better then the random autozone gauge pods and crap you commonly see. It looks sturdy. clean.
