Late model E24. Streets ahead. :-) Although I'm not familiar with US car prices, so I have no idea if it fits into the budget.

It's shocking how easily a bus or truck is able to ply pinball with some average cars. As I watched the video, a similar accident popped into my mind that happened not far from here a couple of days ago.

Thanks for the explanation.

Trabant Tramp. Need I say more?

Well, those were Michelin Primacy HPs - OK, not the best 'sporty' tires, but still, they are - in my humble opinion - far from crappy Michelin Energy Savers (which I really, really hate) and similar eco-tires. I have no clue why Karotta called them "Prius tires".

The original Hungarian language video shows the thread depth measured at the end of the journey: 5 mm. So, suprisingly enough, the tires did pretty well.

A shorter version aired on Hungarian TV channel TV2.

1. Sticking to the inside lane while driving 10-20 mph under the speed limit.

Lada Kalina. Almost picked the Samara, but the Samara is actually a pretty decent cheap car.

Strangely enough, it's a bus... the Ikarus 66. Yeah, Hungary's automotive industry hasn't come up with a decent production passanger car since WWII. So the vehicles we can be proud of include motorbikes, trucks and buses.

The very tasteful golden - bright red SLR.

I think it's a Nissan X-Trail, but I'm not 100% sure.

Whatever caused this accidents, some rally fans can be complete assholes. I've seen the "other guy can stand in the no-spectator zone, so I have the right to" attitude in action. This is when the IQ of people suddenly drops 50% and they start to act like some kind of herd.

It lived for only 1 season, but The Good Guys was similar automobile-wise with the '79 Trans Am.

Boardwalk Empire. I guess I don't have to explain why.

Bentley Brooklands Coupe

Huh-huh, he just, like, put on his turn signal, huh-huh. :-)

Some car makers (like BMW) have their own factory first aid kits. If you buy a car that doesn't come with a factory kit, the dealer will usually throw one in for free together with the warning triangle. After all, these are not very expensive things - the two would set you back the equivalent of about 25-30 bucks.

Yeah, many European countries require you to have visibility vests. Strangely enough, most people here in Hungary think you're supposed to have a vest in the car, although there is no such thing mentioned in the official regulations.

Hungary. Or should I say Hoon-gary? :-)
