Horsepower is not going to safe your life any more than being able to say to yourself "fuck, I'm going to miss my exit....guess I'll take the next one...., my bad for not paying attention" Don't be an ignorant douch endangering others because you decided to stop paying attention. How about you try that on the track?…

The safest thing you can add to any car is a 1/4 mile cushion of air in all directions.

If the journey was unimportant, why could you have not gone on to the next exit and turned around? Doing something like you did is dangerous in a slow or fast car, having more power simply allows you to do it more often.

No shit. I really wanted to be on this guys side, but his admitted lack of awareness and poor decision making does not in any way support the theory that more power is safer. All he has done is indicate that he has shitty judgment.

Your problem wasn't lack of horsepower, it was lack of proper planning.

Thanks, guys. I'll leave you guys to ponder 4 different engine configurations of the same 3.0 liter displacement:

A rusty old van? Normally no. But, just think of what this could be if you had the time, skill and patience to restore (well, rebody completely) this. Move over VW peasant bus, I am way cooler, way hipper, and by daddio, just floating along on a cloud of my own awesome.

In California, where I live, if you're caught street racing they crush your car, in front of you...

I had 2 teenagers try to pass about 3 cars over a double yellow a few days ago. I calmly pulled out, forced them back over. I put on my flashers, got out, and proceeded to rip these 2 teenage boys in their shitty 90's Merc Cougar. They kind of had a similar look to them.

I took my daily-driver '98 Chevy S10 pickup to an open-track night at a local dragstrip right after I got off work a few years back. Paid a whopping $30 to do as many passes as I wanted. Slowest thing there that night (20.040@68MPH). Had a blast. Drove home with a fistful of timeslips and some funny stories. Didn't…

To every street racer...

No, no, it's MUCH better to comment on just how bad they are to the environment, and bemoan the loss of the local unicorns, than it is to actually get in and lend a helping hand. After all, you might be seen by others helping to rectify the situation, and since you aren't standing on the side with great big walrus…

Hahaha. Good one. Chrysler/Fiat should worry more about Ford using the images to show that a Ram can hardly rock crawl. Do like your Power Stroke reference though.

"FUCK! MY TRUCK!!"

NO WAY MAN!

The misguided and misinformed and uncaring (except for the environment and surfing) bleeding heart photog makes me sick. I get that the vehicle isn't supposed to be in the water up to its windows and that it might be bad for the environment, but really? its "streaming toxic fluids"? With a pretty much sealed up…

It's a pickup, it's not the Exxon Valdez.

Can anyone verify what is "PROTECTED" about the beach except for a bunch of arrogant surfers being pissed off that it's being paid for by letting corporations shoot commercials there? And also, can anyone verify that these tree huggers bitching are actually paying taxes?

Cue Gawker cross post with villainous outrage over Ram's environmental destroying capabilities. An asset or liability depending on your viewpoint. Shame this wasn't a black smoke belching diesel.

Obama wanting more money?!?!
