Godholio posted:Jesus Christ, what's the loving point? Buying a Smartcar already announces you have more money than brains and should probably be sterilized, but there's a loving Brabus edition? I really don't understand who buys a smart car. If it's to have a small car, there are better options. If you want good fuel consumption, there are WAY better options. I'm not even going to comment on power / handling. Last I heard they're hemorrhaging money. Speaking of horrible. Since it's a new thread...  It's ugly, it's expensive, the steering is disconnected, the pedals have no feel, and did I mention it's ugly?

 I have no idea what this is, but it looks kind of like a Peel P50 but it has "Electric Vehicle" stickers all over it. It's very "look at me! I'm saving the earth.". Mind you, I see this car across the street from Coda and a mile down the road from Tesla. So it's not like he didn't have choices. Aurune fucked around with this message at 01:00 on Oct 28, 2012 |

FIRST TIME posted:Was that a Hellafail moment because I don't know how else that could have happened. Might just be driver stupidity. He's in a slight right, you hear him accelerate, back end steps out slightly (Power oversteer). He points at the wall. Brake lights come on and he spins left (Brake oversteer). After impact the car seems to roll just fine to the right. So I don't think anything snapped. But that's just me being a back seat driver. VVVV I see the bump, too much power with the rear unsettled?

Went to get coffee and saw that the Sasquatch Research Team is in town!  Found a picture of the owner...  You might also be unsurprised to know there was a xenophobic "I'm an American, take back America" sticker on the front windshield.

This definitely qualifies for this thread. "Drifting a Celica" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQvZNay27fo In this video you will find. 1) This video performed by professionals. 2) Trying to "Drift" a front wheel drive car. 3) Complete and utter failure to do a handbrake turn 4) Trying to be funny. 5) Getting under a car supported only by a scissor jack. 6) Failing to understand how and why they failed.

grumplestiltzkin posted:I had to double check that this was the terrible car stuff thread, since those transmission videos were so neat. I'm guessing they're all visually impaired from the way they parked. I had a terrible car stuff encounter last night at dinner. No pictures sorry. I'm eating my dinner when the four people at the table next to me loudly begin arguing about cars. More specifically, street racing. What followed really was like "VTECKICKEDINYO.GIF" in real life. Highlights included: 1) What speed you needed to be doing before the cops wouldn't chase you further. 2) Who's car is louder (Because loud equals fast you know!). 3) Remember that time I did that mad burnout and hit the telephone pole? As I left, I decided to go for a walk thru the lot, figuring I could pick out which car was theirs. drat it was simple. Early 2000s Civic Si, in good shape actually. Naturally, it slammed with a "racing" steering wheel (who needs airbags?) with purple metal column and the worlds largest sticker with the name of their "racing" shop on the side. They seemed to be finishing up, so I made my escape before I actually had to operate a motor vehicle in the vicinity of them. Aurune fucked around with this message at 18:44 on Apr 14, 2013 |

No picture sorry. There and gone too fast.. I was crossing the street when a mini van decided to stop 3 feet into the intersection. Nothing special there. The truly special part was guy in the passenger seat. He was probably about 16 or 17. He had his seat reclined a little and managed to put his feet up on the dashboard, right on top of the airbag. As the car haphazardly made its right, I was kind hoping for a accident. I know it's morbid, but I really wonder what would happen if a airbag deployed under your legs like that.
