One of the other riders in CA said it had something to do with the camber of the road, and that the upper bank sits at a very weird angle, if I recall correctly. When you watch the Close Call video you can see the rear kick out a bit when it rides slightly higher on the corner.

Or I could be recalling this totally wrong.

According to seasoned riders, it's not a particularly challenging corner from a technical standpoint, it's actually a textbook hairpin turn, with constant-radius, positive camber, and a modest incline. The camber does level out at the end which is why some people slide on exit, but the bigger problem is that it's sharper than a lot of people realize, so they come in too hot, understeer, and get target-fixated on the looming guardrail instead of the exit. I'm sure that it doesn't help that a lot of people try and power through there to show off for the gaggle of photographers that hang out there.

Also, the "Fag" Cake Pastor has called a press conference for this afternoon. Dollar to donuts he claims he did it to draw attention to the plight of the LGBT community and therefore absolves himself.

Ted Cruz is trying to pander to Indiana voters by making a Hoosiers reference. But he calls the hoop a "basketball ring." The expression of the woman behind him who up until that point was a supporter is priceless.

Indiana was THE bastion of whites being dominant in college basketball, until it too had its Jackie Robinson moment.

Imagine Ted Cruz standing on a plantation veranda, pointing at a whip, and calling it a servant tickler, in front of the Ku Klux Klan.

That's just a paper dealer plate, unfortunately. Prestige Auto is an independent dealer out here, which OTOH still makes this funny because the car must have only been in the family for a few weeks at most.

Ugh, the sound of the tranny exploding...

So basically, instead of calling a towing company they decided to flip it themselves, making sure that the frame was a write-off if it wasn't already as well as shattering the tires, rimes, suspension and brakes. Also while being sideways isn't the normal operating state of an engine, depending on the initial hit it could've been salvageable, but that sharp hit when the flipped it back while the engine was still running :wtc: probably murdered a bunch of components in it. Then the whole monkey business with trying to put it in park resulted in the mentioned death rattle of the transmission.

Impressive, really, if the car wasn't a write-off after the crash, it sure is now.

What is it with people and ditching their cars without securing them first?

The part that amazes me is the scumbag who hit him said "this is for looking like Shia Labouf", not actually mistaking him for Labouf. What kind of infantile bullshit is "I'm going to punch this thing that looks like something else entirely which I don't like"?
