"that was really close"

Anyone trying to pass a semi-trailer in ONE SHOT like he attempted, and in such a CLOSE space like that is a dumbass, seriously.

jimjohn · 03-03-2006, 07:14 PM

he wasnt trying to pass ... the truck was changing lanes and didnt look he was coming in at 130 it was unavoidable...

Actually the brakes are totally useless without sticky tires. Doesn't matter if you have the best brakes in the world if you are on skinny all season tires...

The tires stop the car, the brakes just stop the wheels.

Doesn't matter if he's got Brembos or Magic Brakes, cruising at that speed in full traffic,he should have hit that truck and flipped over and onto the shoulder where there are no cars. And the best parts is that he should live to see the dumb stunt he pulled with everyone just screaming at him and staring like in that MR2 video hitting the Jetta.
just ranting, dont mind me

KiR DieseL · 03-04-2006, 01:15 PM

What is the tires spin relative to the wheels? Like the bead slipping.

Lol, that was really close.................I guess that was a gumball vid. Those guys are always doing silly things, I agree it was unavoidable, and stupid. Nice vid though.

It's the freaking Gumball you moron... do you even know what that entails? From the quote of the MR2 hitting Jetta video (year 2000 called and they want you back) it sounds like you don't. It's not about doing stupid stunts (well, sometimes it is)... it's about getting somewhere quick. When you do that things can happen. It's a part of life. BTW, these guys pay more to enter that race then you did for your STI. Jailtime and money are of no consequence to them.

BTW, had the accident happened and it had been Germany, it would have been the truck driver's fault for not checking before changing lanes. I've lost count on how many freaking semis I've had cut me off and I was doing the speed limit.
