rage harder old man

if you slow it down they dont drive through the flatbed it actually does “miss” it because it was comped in after the fact. but it was the only CG in that scene.

I’m stunned the semi didn’t run over whatever remnants of the car remained. How that driver managed to stop and/or avoid this d-bag’s car shards should earn him a medal.

ditto, that was not intentional drift.  That was “oh snap! code brown! Turn turn turn!”

Came to say this.  He certainly didn’t have good visibility and only “drifted” when he yanked the wheel to get back into his lane. 

What a hit.

Guy thought he was baby and didnt realize that was a CGI scene.

Er... that’s not drifting. That’s losing the back-end when you realize you made a very bad decision and try to save yourself by flooring it.

I am not sure it was drift. He got scared, yank the steering wheel to change lane as quickly as possible and lost the rear. At least this is how I see it on the video.

I’ve always thought XJs look like off-road Volvo 240s.

It needs a little more Sugga

The Volvo SUV I really want is a C303.

While it’s probably a fair price, in today’s market, I’d be afraid of the karma that would come with it. Do I want to enable legalized extortion? Is the previous owner dead? Or in prison? A crime victim? Or, just incredibly stupid? A repo, for the same price, would have far fewer unanswered questions.

I’m really loving the trend in recent years of enthusiast cars having strong demand for manual transmissions. I think the people who buy fast cars for bragging rights etc have mostly moved onto electric vehicles, so the people still buying M2s are proportionally more enthusiasts who care about the experience.

Added bonus, manual transmissions are now anti-theft devices.

Manuel is pleased with this news...

Was the C5 lifted and outfitted with offroad tires?

This has been known since at least the 1970s. This should have been written as a reminder not a “OMG! Have you heard about this?”

How about the federal government start with eliminating tax incentives for heavy vehicles, or at least limiting them to demonstrable work truck...regardless if they are ICE or EV.

Registration fees should absolutely be based on weight and EPA numbers (two separate calculations, I’d argue). The UK has had annual car taxes based on engine displacement, car value, and fuel economy for decades. It led one friend to get a Lotus Elise over a Range Rover (what a champ!). Now that all vehicles seem to…
