My Dad once swung a big block Roadrunner around to fit in a tight parking space by doing a burnout (The car was huge and had a crap turning radius for where we were trying to park it). Looked right at me and said “Don’t do that”

You just have to hope that that giant intercooler caught any of the dangerous bits before they reached the engine.

If a NASCAR fan were flying the Confederate Flag, wouldn’t that be about as disrespectful toward the American Flag as anything in the history of America?

I think 1970s Mercedes set that precedent, and then nothing since has lived up to it.

Literally every car in the left lane, directly in front of me.

People keep saying this, you have no proof of that and it makes little sense. The guy was running with a damaged car....he was already driving erratically before. The motorcyclist hardly added to it.

Having grown up in a state mostly devoid of unions (Louisiana), the whole union mentality is always strange to me.

Actually I absolutely do! I think you forgot what website you’re commenting on. We are this weird cult called “gearheads” and we actually like cars. Especially weird, broken ones.

I do have an amateur garage next to my house. The guy who rents it has two Gen 2 RX-7 drift cars that he works on. Nobody minds as long as he’s not revving the heavily modified, unmuffled monsters all night long. Really, nobody cares.

....You realize you posted this comment on a website dedicated to reporting the news to the exact type of people who would open such a garage, right?

If it makes you feel any better those neighbors are likely clinically obese and very stupid, life is already giving them the rusty cactus treatment.

I generally don’t wish personal injury on people, but wow, fuck those neighbors with a rusty cactus.

And here’s the wrong way...

He wasn’t lanesplitting - he was in a carpool lane. So yes, although there are these limits they don;t apply in this case.

Totally with you up until the unmarked police cars. Those are bad.

I think it’s pretty safe to say that they were most like high as fuuuuuuuck.

In California, the carpool lane line is a pretty big deal. $271 fine for crossing into/out without a dashed line. It’s a solid white line and two solid yellow lines. Triple reminder not to cross because of this- the speed differential is sometimes huge. If I’m using the carpool lane in heavy traffic, it’s scary, I’m…

It’s White Genocide!

The action of going mudding makes you a redneck. It’s just reality.

You can be a wealthy hedge fund manager from Wall Street named Kip Smithers, but for those five minutes that you’re ripping donuts through a field in your Mercedes GLS, you’re a redneck.

There, fixed it. [gizmodo.com]
