Yea the guy getting cut down by an F1 car was the icing on the cake... about the only thing I could think of after watching that was it is amazing how far safety has come.

Ziploc posted:Why don't they just disassemble it? Time. Takes ~10 minutes or less to destroy an engine with sodium silicate, and then the engine is pretty much junk without a complete rebuild (which may not be enough anyways). It'll take a LOT more time to disassemble an engine and render it unusable by mechanical means than just dumping a chemical in the engine oil and waiting a few minutes. Time is money, and the intention of the program was to take these cars permanently off the road.

Instead of gently caress the police, lets think about it from a different angle. The area is experiencing a serious, widespread natural disaster where over 22 people have already died. Roads are flooded and impassible, emergency services are stressed, and response times to emergencies are lengthy or impossible as some areas may only be reachable by boat. The cop sees risky/dangerous behavior (are there sinkholes? is there underwater debris? is the roadway damaged? who knows!) and stops it to avoid potentially adding yet another emergency and calling emergency crews to a 100% preventable accident, when those crews could be doing better things. Does it look fun? yea. Does it suck that the cop stopped them? yea. Were they using good judgment with their water skiing? not even close.

mykel posted:Not true for most cars these days. Computers take over and do everything to prevent you from losing traction, so just slamming the gas to the floor isn't necessarily as tried and true as, say, an AC Cobra. Eddie Griffen was driving that thing at a press stunt for the movie Redline... you're giving him way too much credit

I saw a video of a Ford GT with the brake lights doing something similar... I don't think it's a feature, just an effect of filming/frame rate.

wolrah posted:No, it's cost engineering. They've done IRS on the late-00s Cobra, it added thousands to the cost of the chassis with no significant benefit for the vast majority of Mustang owners. Some of those IRS cars were even converted back to live axle because a live axle is a shitload harder to break on the drag strip. I don't even think it's cost engineering. I think the live axle is a selling point with a good portion of the demographic that wants that car. Give the customer what they want....

Indecision1991 posted:Did the official survive? I don't see any sort of good news in the description. Best I can find online says he had head and pelvis injuries, and was flown unconscious to a hospital in "critical but stable condition". http://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1301&dat=19820215&id=ZIVWAAAAIBAJ&sjid=o-YDAAAAIBAJ&pg=7023,5224582 http://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1300&dat=19820215&id=agNVAAAAIBAJ&sjid=d5QDAAAAIBAJ&pg=3688,6945038 I found another reference to a Ray Thatcher who organized an MG meet two years ago in Australia... what are the chances? Guessing he survived.

Das Volk posted:I've been watching these Russian car crash compilation videos for a while now and I really find myself wondering what the hell is going on there. Every few videos you see some shitcan going 2-3X the speed of traffic causing some sort of wreck, or people making painfully avoidable mistakes. Why is driving in Russia so apocalyptic? I saw it explained that it's largely due to the fact that no one could own a car, or even afford to, until very recently. Then seemingly overnight the floodgates just open....

Might have been true at some point, but not anymore. You shouldn't hold the steering at lock for extended periods of time, but that's about it.

Michael Scott posted:A local news crew films as a mentally retarded and/or high man passes out in his large modified Dodge Ram pickup on the side of the highway, drooling onto his lap. Some worker from Georgia's Department of Transportation (why is a DoT truck sponsored by State Farm?) arrives, tries to talk to the guy, the guy speeds off aggressively and recklessly, then impacts other cars hard. gently caress that guy so hard. I hope he goes to prison for a long time.

I had the same itch about left lane camping, but you can see the driver pass two other vehicles before bro passes on the right. If I was guessing, I think she was actually going a little faster than the speed limit. And whatever, gently caress the bro truck rear end in a top hat.

Seems like every piece of the body and frame has been cut off at this point. This thing is the automotive equivalent of the Ship of Theseus. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ship_of_Theseus Those videos are great though, can't wait for the next one.
