The inside the car shot made me think that at first too. Then I watched more and more of this guy hitting that section and It sure seems he is just that good.

Now somebody at Honda just give that guy the new drive train for his old EG. If they made a $15,000 factory kit to shove this in 92 Civics, Integras and Del Sols that was CARB compliant they would sell a hell of a lot of engines and transmissions. Probably five times more then actual type R cars. Sure that engine in a…

Then there is this Mercedes ambulance hood prop on the other side of the coin. They are only ten bucks or so...and safer then a regular old hood prop in the wind. However our mechanic has to buy them all the time. People “used to” the Fords (or just noobs in general) shut the hood with them locked and bend them in…

I couldn’t edit it. I made a reply but I think even that got quashed.

Sorry I should have put a warning up. The story made Jalopnik a while back and along with some other videos of people (including kids) getting run over these past few years at dirt events, rallies and otherwise professionally organized motor sports. It slipped my mind in my haste to support the position of “worst…

Mind the giant bats.

Like they don’t know how many times it’s been rolled over. There is probably two hundred pounds of service documents on that sucker.

I think it should take a picture of the driver at that point. I wonder how many of these folks are just picking their nose or texting away.

lol

Well how about something that weighs about the same that you could still drive on the street?

Do you think 100% of thirty year olds can handle a three hundred horsepower car? No...well then that is a fraction as well.

There are hundreds of thousands of those people in those jobs in their twenties. I’ve worked with hundreds of them in one city alone. I don’t think you are giving young adults nearly the credit they are due. You get about twenty minutes of “EVOC” training behind the actual wheel of a 385 hp ambulance (and 6 or so…

I was with you until you said “from the Left”. I believe it is knee jerk reaction to start taking away privileges,(especially from folks not in your own demographic) but that’s not necessarily a left thing. There is a whole lot of that coming from the other side as well.
