wtf happened.. the vw wasnt there when he went over teh embankment...??

can someone explain the events that led to this..

i think the MR2 hit the Jetta and it rolled into the other curb.

That's what I thought....the Jetta was parked or idling and the MR-2 jumped the embankment and hit it.

I like the guy in the background: "WTF is wrong with you, dude?"
 
As long as these retards are off trying to kill eachother somewhere far away from me, I say let them have at it. It's called natural selection. In a decade or two they'll all be gone.

What the hell was that guy doing making a left up over that burm anyway? Classic stuff.
 
link to the mr2 thread?

anyway, HOW THE HELL DID HE GO OVER THE EMBANKMENT

did he try to drift a freaking uturn or something? WTF

what a moron

That's almost as funny as the video. 😀 Maybe they can get the guy in the video to post his "kill" story. 😀
 
I feel bad for the Jetta owner... what the hell was that guy thinking?.. what an asshat


haha..the cop feeling the hood of the MR2 is hilarious
 
His rear end started to slide and he did not correct, he just kept going straight (well, left), and stayed on the brakes. instant accident.

Moron.

Only 2 empty spots in the parking lot. Lucky moron.

<edit>
nevermind, he hit the jetta and pushed it across the lot.
 
if anyone wants to host another one i got that happened locally near my house.........lemme know.


Thanks

You do realize that a MR2 Turbo is quite fast, right?

Viper GTS
 
So what do you think caused that guy to lose total control like that? Did his differential fail, causing more power to be sent to the right-hand wheel? Weird.

I'm sure the TDI owner is glad that was caught on tape, since he has great footage of the accident and shouldn't have to pay for a thing...

I'm more inclined to believe that it was a Loose Nut Behind The Wheel before any kind of mechanical failure. Perhaps he yanked the handbrake thinking you could do donuts the way you do in Metropolis Street Racer?

In some states you're liable for 15% just for being there. Your fault or not. It's BS.

Notice the two smilies?

BTW. It's still an MR2. (and there are no kill stories.) Nudge, nudge. . . ah, I give up.

Evadman (IMO) has the right idea. The fool can't drive. While doing the burn-out, the rear-end got squirrelly and the fool didn't correct. No mechanical failure, just varying traction between the 2 burning rear tires caused one to get in front of the other, a very common event. No big deal for an experienced driver, he just corrects with the wheel and the throttle to straighten out (can be fun actually if you know what you're doing). This fool jammed the brakes though, guaranteeing loss of control and the accident. Had he simply dropped the gas and corrected at the right moment, he would have straightened instantly. Idiot. :|

Bro, you mean the TDI in this video that was racing by sitting there in a parking lot, bro?

I need to register & tell him what a moron he is.

Viper GTS

MR2 Forum. Bro, you have to register. Bro.

Quotes of his exact words, for those of you who don't feel like registering. He may have edited them by now, though, bro. Ok, I guess he never actually said he wanted to SUE, but you get the point.
had 1k damages (front bumper), and has recently just been tuned for 398rwhp. ITS MY CAR. It was a burnout in 2nd gear, and cought wheel speed at 50mph...it was not a huge deal
Also, everyone. I anyone knows the email address of the person that took this and posted this video ORIGINALLY at team kryptics, I need the email adress. This is definately considered character defimation or slander. This is not what I actually am, and I am becoming known for this. Thanks.
 
And I guess a quote from the VW owner would be good, bro:

Hey guys, I'm the owner of the Jetta.
YES the moron factor was VERY high indeed. ONLY b/c stupid honda/rice wanted to crash our meet. The meet is called ClubEurosport and is located in Boca. This is stricltly a vw/audi GTG. As soon as honda boys hear all about it they wanted to crash it, thats why you see so much rice in the vid.
Just FYI, the kids driving record is HORRIBLE. He already trashed his dads SUV and totalled someone elses car while almost totalling his own, not to mention this accident ALL to the age of 17!!!
All I can say is if you plan to showboat to it in an empty parking lot not near cars and ESPECAILLY near cars where people have put so much work into-i.e.-(mine and pretty much the entire ClubeuroSport meet) any question, please ask away as I am very anxious to see if this asasinine-(wannabe MR2 driver) will reply. . .
And people asked me about pics so here they go:
[pics]
TOTAL COST of damage was almost bordering $9 G's!!!-(mostly Labor costs)
Main chassis was not hit or bent, mostly exterior body panels. Big (thumbup) to German engineering and (thumbdown) to Stupid people that want to show off -(especially in MR2's)
 
had 1k damages (front bumper), and has recently just been tuned for 398rwhp.
ITS MY CAR. It was a burnout in 2nd gear, and cought wheel speed at 50mph...it was not a huge deal.

Bwahahaha...398 RWHP....Too damn funny. Got a good laugh at this claim.

ROFL. NOT A HUGE DEAL? Breaking the wheels and spinning onto a patch of grass is "Not a huge deal." Jumping an embankment and smashing into another car doing $1000 in damage and probably even more on the other car is "A Huge Deal."

And "This is not what I actually am" well, we have a video tape of some hotshot trying to act cool, fooked up and luckily no one was hurt. If that's not what he is, then it wouldn't have happened.....

Looked like a big enough deal that he sh!t his drawers and went out-of-control "both feet in" and wrecked. A smart experienced driver knows that sliding towards people and property is not the time to commit oneself to a complete loss of traction. All he had to do in that circumstance was just to drop the gas a split second and correct the wheel, and he would've straightened out just fine.

Presentation of facts is not slander nor defamation of character. The video portrays a factual sequence of events that took place on public property. The video belongs to the owner of the camera/camcorder. What an idiot. :disgust:
