I've always wondered what I'd do if the cables on my lift broke and the hard-safety locks engaged. Now I know :v:

I'm going to guess that there is a piece missing - namely where the motorist merged with extreme negligence into the bike minding his own business. The bike lashes out in frustration / self preservation or anger and away we go.

At least that's what I'm going to guess as bike riders dont jsut kick cars for no reason.

The original story I read said the sedan almost hit the biker when he cut him off entering the HOV lane, that's when the camera guy started filming. The biker got understandably angry and pulled up beside the sedan just as he started filming. Kicking a car from a bike usually doesn't end well for the biker (see example) but I can understand his desire to want to. Now the biker is being searched for as they are considering this a hit and run...

I've been in traffic all over the country and by far the least attention paid relative to the attention needed has been witnessed on LA freeways.

A friend once said "as a coping mechanism for the worst traffic in the country drivers stopped paying attention to it"

This. I've driven in every state on the east, west and south borders of the USA and LA is its own thing of terrible. Miami downtown is second but Miami is testosterone fueled gently caress you not LA's just blatant negligence.

What are you talking about? They shoved a turbo barra in a toyota. Also the mod max car was awesome.
Back to their roots? Why should they when now they have a budget and more help? I don't mind the short ones like the rear muffler/potato as not everything need to be epic and sometimes it's better to have some content rather than nothing. But they have got better recently IMO.

Those two were good as well. I was thinking more of the 2sexy and the Mira episodes. I still watched them, so it's not like I can argue that they were bad, just not as good as some of their other work.

I dunno, the Cresta episode felt like they spent a ton of Michael Bay's money on a Japanese road trip we didn't really see, the car and the parts. Then had pros do most of the work, drag raced it a few times and went yep it's quick. The resulting car is undoubtedly impressive, but the journey wasn't really as satisfying as it could've been imo.

I generally dig everything the guys do and the cresta is cool (mainly because i want one or the same but a cressida wagon) but that was really oddly short and I'd rather watch them do poo poo themselves over a few weeks.

I wish the usa had the barra, I love me an i6

I love an I6 too. I've owned 3 ford falcons after I stopped using mazda rotaries as dailys. And when I was looking for a new project car I bought a e34 because they're I6, upgradeable and bmw is still in the i6 game. (even if they are a slant 6)
Ford USA has been trying to kill our beloved i6 rwd falcon for decades and finally won :(
E: yeah I know emissions, low sellers cast iron block had to go and all the facts. But they never even tried exporting them or making a niche car like GM did with the commodore.

You may not understand and that's OK. But I look around and go rah rah stick a barra in it everyday :) So it was close to my heart loving awesome.

If you follow TurboYoda on social media, he said that the whole Cresta thing went from a "We've got this odd japanese sedan, what do we do to it?" to running the quarter mile in NINE days.

The reason the video looks a bit rushed it because the entire build was balls to the wall as fast as they could do it.
