I choose to believe that was not staged, and therefore hilarious.

With the number of parking sensors and cameras on cars these days, that has got to be staged

Counterpoint: all four wheels came off the ground at the same time. Most cars never see that kind of action.

Yeah, if you look you’ll see my front bumper is under the rear bumper of the vehicle in front. Why did I do this? Sales meeting in San Diego Little Italy, only possible space in the area.

Safety Dance posted:Counterpoint: all four wheels came off the ground at the same time. Most cars never see that kind of action. Yeah credit where credit is due. Though, I'd say the driver caught air while driving over the raising draw bridge, not jumped the draw bridge. But I get it, a headline is supposed to be short, sweet and grab you.

That's more of a jump than any of you losers ever managedKrakkles posted:Those things are heavy, I can't imagine there's much that can be safely done at that point - you could STOP moving, which, I'd bet there's a control for, if someone is actually watching it - but you couldn't drop the bridge back into a level / deployed position. That's definitely not possible. I've done some tight parki pg with a car way too big for tight city streets but you still need a decent margin.

mobby_6kl posted:That's more of a jump than any of you losers ever managed Was hooning around out on country dirt roads with my cousin in his 88 Fiero, and he took a railroad crossing like this at about 60mph.  We were airborne for what felt like 20 feet, came down on the nose of the car, and shattered almost the entire fiberglass front end. Totally worth it though.

Back in high school a friend was hooning around in his dad’s SHO and went over a little bridge over a stream too fast. Got enough air that when he came down he broke an engine mount and cracked the oil pan. He managed to get it home and into the garage without dad noticing but the subterfuge did not last.

I've never gotten a truck up off the ground, but I have sent a trailer flying. There used to be some incredibly rough spots down Waters Ave., heading towards Nevraska Ave., in Tampa, and I wasn't used to avoiding them yet. Beat to hell 2008 Silverado towing the worst piece of poo poo 14ft.x7.5 ft. two axle tailer. The truck bottomed out and I saw, in the mirror, the trailer fly up into the air and start to turn sideways. I think accelerating out of it worked ok. Didn't break the trailer, but I had to spend twenty minutes re-stacking everything and separating out crushed product. gently caress everything about everything on that route.

mobby_6kl posted:That's more of a jump than any of you losers ever managed I hydroplaned in heavy rain going like 50mph, spun 180*, then went backwards over the on-ramp of a cloverleaf interchange, caught air, and crashed through a yield sign. Those fuckers are much larger when you stand right next to one. That crash tore up the rear suspension / linkage so the body was resting on the wheel and shredded tire. Ahh, to be 19 and young and stupid again. Now I'm just stupid.

i initially assumed it was a distracted or new driver. admittedly the amount of time between hitting the gate and jumping the bridge before taillights come on could be intentional. but it all looks way more I was looking at my phone oops hit the brakes to me

I've never smelled rotten sprinkler water but apparently it's even worse than poo poo, it's just raw sewage and death. This is a picture of sprinkler water that was released after being stagnant for ~15 years.

Today it was me. Stoped at a sign, saw another car not slowing down and stabbed the brakes. I was pretty annoyed but I'm used to fuckers running stop signs. Only it turns out it wasn't a 4-way. Thank gently caress I'm about the only person in this town who -stops- or I would have been hosed and 100% at fault. And here I was getting sort of haughty about following nthe rules of the road...
