tobu posted:The juxtaposition between the Audi's grip and the Mustangs is a thing to behold. I'm always perplexed when I see these videos because I've been an idiot in a rear-wheel drive car a bunch of times and never had it go wrong so quickly like it seems too for morons in mustangs. I have to wonder how much of this is a live rear axle thing. I've driven a mustang once and it remains the only live rear axle car I've ever driven. Compared to the IRS I'm used to it felt strange and disturbing, like the rear of the car had a mind of its own. I'm guessing that has something to do with it. What probably has even more to do with it is the fact that the mustang is so common and cheap. That said, I wonder if we'll see less mustang crashes involving the new ones with IRS.

I want to say no(there won't be as many crashes) because of my own personal experience with how advanc-trac is on the new Mustangs. However, I get the feeling most of these people will turn it off to do some sick burnout and welp. IRS won't make a difference in that case.

The bad press from Mustangs flying off in random directions is probably the true reason they finally changed to IRS. I know Russian dash cams are a whole thing but I really like the Australian ones because I can tell what they are saying and the language is just comical: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MGC5YHwp21c edit: also less actual accidents because of decently looked after cars? edit: gently caress that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jKQYRen_MIA tobu fucked around with this message at 00:35 on Apr 6, 2016 |

Sounds like the insurance claim went from at-fault to no longer at fault for the VW very quickly. Not too bad of a result for her insurance rates!

I like that not only does the driver drift a trailer, but the whole truck hops over a goddamn tree like it's a toothpick.

Did they say if they're keeping that rusted old back end or replacing it with something that might actually work?

I think that's the kit they are using, but I feel confident that it'll get torn apart and cleaned up before the car is "finished"

I thought they said they had all this to use as mock up, and they had some clean stuff for the finished car. Maybe that was just the motor though.

Everytime im on a test drive i talk to myself about what a pile of poo poo the car is hoping to get on camera. But real talk obviously that guy over did it and is clearly an asshat, but as a tech you gotta push the car to find its weaknesses or to duplicate certain complaints. that Audi prolly got what it deserved Edit : comments are gold. People are arguing weather or not the working class can afford cocaine or not. Preoptopus fucked around with this message at 23:23 on Apr 15, 2016 |

Bigger point, If you dont trust a service center so much as to have a camera running, why are you going there unless you wanna gently caress somebody? Plenty of times ive worked on cars with 20 dollar bills "carelessly" left in ashtrays and cup holders passenger footwells etc...

Plenty of times ive worked on cars with 20 dollar bills "carelessly" left in ashtrays and cup holders passenger footwells etc... I have a dash cam in my car, it turns on with the car and turns off after. I don't know why having this means I wanna gently caress someone or just go to shady places, I'd rather no one gently caress with my car instead.

I have no reason to gently caress with your car and I understand that I am entrusted with what is possibly the most and often second most valuable thing people own. Techs want to do a super good job and leave the car as clean as possible to get you to come back to them; lifetime customer value and whatnot. Guy had the camera recording with the car off. Im not defending this dude at all but he was defiantly caught in a spiders web. furthermore. Dude worked at an Audi service center. So its not like it was the first fancy car hes ever driven. There has to be more to the story. And now its taken down...

Dashcams can have programmable functions that let them run for X number of minutes after the car shuts off. Mine does.
