Totally agree. I did stunt driving on the set of “Mindhunter” on Netflix,and when we were switching back and forth between cars,at one point I got an AMC Matador which apparently had a very serious starting/running issue. After I missed the first two takes because the car stalled out,and the third one because once I…

Sketchy road?

Yeah, straight road, my a$$. She has to navigate esses in that piece of junk. Junk Karmann Ghia + not a straight road + 40mph = bad situation. She’s lucky to be alive; she could’ve be wrapped around a tree. What the heck was QT thinking with? His little thing? Bad.....where was the stunt/driving coordinator? Missing…

Or just done it in post, like everything else. There was literally no reason for her to be actually driving for that scene, other than his maniacal obsessions.
Don’t get me wrong, I’ve loved most of Tarantino’s films, but the fact that he couldn’t deign to do this against a green screen is just negligent, and the…

Weird, especially considering the other shots of her driving the car look very fake and stylized- why insist her do a stunt that she wasn’t comfortable with?

Yeah like how hard would it be to find a VW mechanic in Mexico of all places.

really does seem bizarre doesn’t it? 

I thought the documentary did a good job showing both sides.

As the father of a 5-year old human, yes.

Or use a hot air balloon, which are capable of flying higher than 1800ft as well and seem much safer?

i had a girlfriend who gave me that exact same look when she got stuck in my radiator grill.

Not to make this more complicated than it should be for a first responder but my ex was a batterer and she loved a good fight. I was pushed, kicked, hit, kneed (note all while she was pregnant). I had to evict her after I feared for my life but yup, I was the bad guy. She’s doing it now to her new husband.

Negative.

My dad drove one of these when he was in the Soviet Army, he said they weren’t particularly fun to work on and had zero front crash protection.

This may be a bit late. I thought he was bullshitting too until I read this line from the latest article on Road and Track.

I know this firsthand. My first several trips on a bike were on surface streets on a stock bike without earplugs. Never over about 55 for short stretches. No problems. Then I commuted to work 40 miles on the highway at 75mph a few times. Now I have partial hearing loss from the high db wind noise. Now I always wear…

Earplugs for wind noise mainly. Loud exhaust is a secondary concern.

“it is generally safer for citizens to contact police prior to engaging criminals.”

He’s.... waiting.... on parts from Japan?

Doesn’t that stuff ship overnight?
