Look at the freaking reflexes on that Cayenne driver. I'm still not sure why the trucker didn't hold steady though, I'd think it would take more than a Corolla to knock him out like that.

:argh: That wreck seriously hosed up traffic around here for the better part of the day.

Thankfully nobody died though.

Tiny fire that really doesn't even belong on youtube, though I do find it amusing that a (relatively) late model Cadillac catches on fire idling. But it takes a turn for the odd about 2 minutes in.

Well leaving your car running unattended is just stupid no matter how you look at it, though that's not why it caught on fire.

I was more referring to the poo poo that starts 2 minutes in, my brain went :psypop: watching that.

So when your engine is running hot, do you...

A: Pull over and let it cool down (or at least turn on the heater)
B: Nail it and stay in the left lane doing 47 MPH as your trans temp gauge almost pegs, your engine temp gauge pegs, and your ECU throws your dumbass into limp mode, while complaining about the lack of power and the engine overheating and HOLY poo poo A DODGE PASSED ME AND DODGE IS INFERIOR I MUST PASS HIM

Goddamn people are stupid. But then again, this guy's in Kerrville, which is nothing but meth anyway. :catdrugs:

Did I mention that stretch of I-10 has an 80 mph limit (70 for trucks)? He even points out the "truck" limit doesn't apply to him (it may not if you're driving a regular pickup, pretty sure it does when you're pulling a trailer larger than your truck)

Last time I was on that stretch of road pretty much everybody did 90 except for loaded trucks, and if you didn't keep your granny rear end in the right lane you were liable to (rightfully) get run off the road by IV8.

Do comments on my own videos count?

I posted one when I got the car asking if it sounded like it was turning over slow.. almost 2 years ago. Had posted it on NissanClub (turns out KA24DE's.. just sound that way I guess).

Some ricer just left a comment about his v-tech leaving me in the dust. The video also had 0 likes/dislikes until today.

The forces are pretty similar, the guy in the second one is just bracing and it seems smoother despite a big powerslide at the end which are pretty jarring even when braced.

After watching a bunch of dashcam videos, I have come to 3 conclusions...

Russian drivers are loving crazy.
Chinese drivers are loving crazy (particularly those on 2 wheels).
Russian cars burst into flames if you so much as sneeze in their direction.

:suspense:

Also, I really want a dashcam now. One that doesn't require me to use my phone (as most dashcam apps rape and pillage my phone battery).

It seems like the #23 car was simply reckless in trying to shut down his passing attempt. Is that the right way of looking at it?

That's how I see it too, it looked like the original point of impact was just barely inside of the RF corner of 27, hitting the LR corner of 23. No way 27 could have avoided that with the way 23 cut in front of him.

e: VVVV welp!

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.

Oh then he awkwardly hobbles around and flees the scene before police arrive.

As someone who's done enough drugs to kill most countries :350: that just screams disassociative drugs to me (especially the way he hobbles). Too long acting to be N2O, I'd guess a bunch of ketamine or DXM. Ketamine is fairly short acting, but it's very intense (but who the gently caress does a rail of K while driving?!). PCP is pretty drat rare these days. DXM usually left me too incoherent to handle 3 pedals.

Ambien has been known to make people act similarly, and it lasts for several hours.

Also doesn't seem to be a modified Ram - looks like a bone stock 3500 to me?

It could be diabetic shock too - if you're right on the edge of passing out from it, you can get really aggressive.

You can stream it on Amazon for $3.99, but it's not on Prime.

It's an interesting documentary. The dude is a bit of an rear end in a top hat, as you may have guessed; also very much a deep thinker.

The first 20 or 30 minutes is just blabbering about viral videos. Hard to say much else without spoiling it.

It might have been a different video (there are a few different ones out there of this crash) but you can hear the OnStar operator asking if anyone is injured at one point when they are pulling the passenger out, so no, they actually didn't manage to break OnStar, it was still working!
