Local guy does a bunch of low-budget bodywork. Here he is converting a Fairlane from 4-door to 2-door as well as fixing a ton of the rust by doing a complete chassis swap for his brother. I'm jealous of the skills and the end result is gorgeous.

Of course if I had the skills I would just make ridiculous joke cars like this Volvo Am:

One of the contenders finally restarts his car. He starts driving forward - right into a ditch.
Then it rolls.

My French ain't good (it's nonexistent) but it's pretty evident that his co-driver, stranded at the side of the road, calls him an idiot.

I'm currently helping my son work on getting his license. I'm constantly showing him these dashcam videos and then asking "How could that wreck have been avoided?" Most of the time, like 90%, the answer is "They were driving too fast for conditions."

I want your son to be our minister of transport.
He literally understands 100% more about how accidents happen, rather than saying "herp derp speed kills" as the national road death tolls skyrockets.

I'll tell him you said that. :)

He's been obviously riding in cars with me his whole life and has learned that sometimes conditions suck and you need to slow the gently caress down. Dying isn't worth getting somewhere 2 minutes earlier. He's also learned that if it's a bright sunny day and you have an open road with no one around(easy to do in Texas) it's okay to open that bitch up and let her run.

Spending money to make sure your car is hellaflush is more important than basic repairs. At least, to the idiots that execute the idea so poorly.

I'd never heard of one of those before so I looked it up. You're not kidding when you called it huge. Those are monsters, crazy ATC system on them too. We have 3 CNC milling centers in our shop, an Okuma, a Mazak and a Sharp, all of which are small vertical models. That thing is a beast.

It pisses me off that the only WRC coverage we get on TV is a one hour clip show, which comes down to like 50 mins with adverts, of which 45 mins seems to be an unlikable host and occasionally some 'celebrity' talking. I'd watch onboards all day. :allears:

what is wrong with people over there? Do people really just not understand that they have to drive slower on snowy roads? and that last clip what were any of them thinking? "oh i'm just going to stop in the middle of this lane and shove a rat with wings up my rear end"
