These are even better now that I know a bit of Russian obscenity.

Tip: anything that sounds like "maht", "suka", or "blyad" is in the middle of a string of curses. "ne pizdi" means anything from "my dick!" to "shut the gently caress up" to "no poo poo?" to "you've got to be kidding me" to "gently caress off" to "you're full of poo poo" to "stop bullshitting me" depending on the situation. It's an all purpose phrase.

Pedestrian barely missed getting run into, but the rear tire of the car ran over his foot.

I think he may have meant the bizarre lady who shuffles across the street, even after the SUV bumps into her. I know these videos are the worst of the worst, but Christ, some of these people are just 100% oblivious to the surrounding world.

I love the truck that ended up completely wedged sideways in the tunnel. I can imagine the emergency workers arriving and just going, "gently caress it, we're not getting that out. Better just fill the entire tunnel in with dirt or something."

Damnit, I've been searching for a video for the last couple of days that I know was posted in AI at some point, but for the life of me I can't find it.

It was a drifting video with probably half a dozen cheap drift cars and a trash metal soundtrack. All I really remember was that it was hooning at it's finest. They had a go-pro on a stick in order to get exterior shots, and at one point in order to show off how close they were driving to each other, the camera operator shoved the camera through the window into the adjacent car. There was also a shot where they had set up two shipping containers with a ladder laying over the top, and a guy hanging from the ladder. Everybody drifted between the two containers underneath him.

Of course there's only approximately a billion drift videos on youtube to search through, and with my luck it'll turn out that it was actually hosted on liveleak or something.

roadandtrack.com posted:

We're used to seeing rally drivers and navigators form great partnerships: Colin McRae and Nicky Grist, Sebastien Loeb and and Daniel Elena. These were pairs who worked in perfect harmony with each other and their machines as they flew through forests and past deadly cliffs.

What you're about to see is not one of those perfect relationships. Not at all.

Driver Samir Thapar is a wealthy industrialist, and by some accounts, an enthusiastic partier. His navigator, Vivek Ponnusamy, is an experienced rally pro and was hired by Thapar along with a top support crew and a hot Mitsubishi Evo X in order to avenge a humiliating loss to a lowly Mahindra SUV in a previous Indian National Championship rally.

Despite all the pleadings from his co-driver, Samir did in fact break the car on the last stage of the Rally of Coimbatore. Adding insult to ridicule, this video was released by the co-driver himself. Apparently there is a limit to a rally navigator's courage and patience.

I mean, obviously the guys is completely brain-dead for walking onto a hot track, but the driver had plenty of time to see him and he passed way closer to the rail than the first time around. It almost looks intentional.

Now, whether or not an intentional hit is justified is up for debate.

\/I suppose, but I wouldn't put it past an eastern European to go "I'mma teach this skurwysyn a lesson about track safety!"

I'm guessing the dude driving saw that some idiot goober was walking onto the track, target fixated and lost focus.
