I didn't shed a tear, in fact, I think some water left my drink and sucked up into my tear duct.

I don't know, I feel bad for the passengers. I've been in a car when the driver decides to be a douche and it's a loving helpless feeling. I doubt all the passengers were cool with what the driver was doing, they could have been scared but just didn't say anything. I feel no pity for the driver whatsoever.

So yeah, I think he was doing some top speed runs (although isn't the M5 limited to 155?) and just miscalculated and ran out of room. I can't even imagine what that must have sounded like to the neighbors.

They're still waiting on the toxicology reports, they believe the driver was probably drunk which would explain the "miscalculation". Not to mention going those speeds, at night, on an unlit runway is really dumb, his decision making was obviously impaired. He was either drunk, retarded, or both.

Thanks to my three year old son I've been watching lots of Monster Jam videos lately, and ran across this very well done Grave Digger video with multiple POV's. If you aren't impressed by the HP and torque numbers or the amount of air he's able to get with a 10,000 pound machine I don't know what to tell you.....

Yeah, same thing I thought until my son took a liking to it and I started watching it with him. The amount of air these things can get is incredible, and they're pushing HP numbers beyond Top Fuel dragsters. I'm taking my son to a Monster Jam event at the end of January here in Tampa and I think I'm more excited than he is :v:

Monster Jam events are easily the best bang for the buck in motorsports. You get to meet the drivers, see the trucks, and it's pretty cheap.

I was surprised how cheap the tickets are ($15 and $25), and all I have to do to get free pit passes is stop by a local Ford dealer. Ear protection is a gimmie, I've got a nice set of Remington earmuffs for my son and I'll just go with ear plugs. Depending on how well the pit experience goes I may just post a thread with pics.

I loved it when F1 cars were just big shifter karts. Too much tech in them these days IMO.

Maybe he was worried about the rear floating up and losing traction? I guess I probably would have done it too, just in case.

I don't understand why those cars just sat there and no one besides the 4x4 guy thought to move them. Maybe they said F it, let insurance take care of it?

Applebees Appetizer

They had plenty of time before it got too dangerous, and it was pretty clear the water was rising quickly. I dunno, unless my car had full coverage and zero deductibles I'd be out there moving it at the first sign of rising water anywhere near it.

Impressive, given the lack of fine throttle control with the automatic.

It probably has suspension mods (sways, shocks, CA's) and a reflash for the motor/trans. The reflash is a pretty popular mod for Vics, apparently it improves the transmission shifting big time. I've been meaning to do it to mine, but I have to rebuild the front end and upgrade the suspension first.

To be fair, that's some pretty dangerous street racing they are doing, if they want to hoon their cars they could easily afford to rent a track. Take all your cars to the 'ring for christ's sake and race them all you want, I don't get why they need to gently caress off in down town London.

Ok, I might understand this a little if it was a rare car or something, but it looks like a Toyota Camry type appliance vehicle. Isn't that what insurance is for? The guy is risking exposure to save his common driving appliance.

They only show a few seconds of video after the car has come to rest in the water. I'm sure it would take even dedicated rescue crews more time than that to recognize what has just happend and spring into action.

The guy in the shot had time to watch then check his phone. And then in the next video you hear people laughing, those guys almost drowned it's hilarious! Glad I don't race cars wherever that is.

loving with the FNG's is always fun. When I worked at an aircraft refurbish shop the go to for new guys was wait until after we stripped a plane to metal and are set to clean it off with this etching soap poo poo we had. Then tell the guy to get the prop wash from the closet. 15 minutes later when he came back empty handed saying he couldn't find it, give him the helpful hint that the prop wash is located behind the flight line.

When I was in the air force gassing planes, the joke was telling the new guy to pull a spark plug from the truck (Mack diesel), when they'd come back saying they can't find it we'd say just follow the loving plug wires dumbass :v:
