QUOTE(mbseto @ Apr 1 2015, 07:11 AM)  It takes a special kind of mentality to think that gravity will give you a pass. To mutate a JeremyClarksonism "It is not the fall that kills you, it is the abrupt stop when you reach ground level that gets you" And I hate to say it (I have a tiny bit of this gene myself): Once he realized that he fucked up the car with his first screw up, he probably decided (in haste) that he would rather have a totaled car than a slightly bent one, so in that split second he decided to ruin the car beyond having it fixed by the insurance. But apparently he is as skilled at completely destroying a car as he is at driving in the first place.- FAIL |

I was a youngster once... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Problem today is kids are growing up playing games that have "respawn" available after you die & there is no respawn in real life.

Let's see what he thinks when it scatters parts. Affording to buy one, and affording tow own one are two drastically different things.
Here's what I took to the scrap yard from the last 6 months of M96/ M97 tear downs. Not exaggerated, I just took it to the scrapyard. Attached image(s)

Jake- most of this from human failure or design issues?

WOW!! That would sure make anyone rational think twice when buying one of the models with that series of engine.
Are these higher power engines built well enough for the power output? Running too close to the edge? Tom |

Jake, I see some viable tables in that pile. Cleaned up with a glass top and you could get good money for them. Put me down for one!

Trust me, this stuff was too blown up to build from. I have a ton more of it (literally) and we get more every week. Only a couple of these were driver error. Only a couple failed on the track, too. That weighed 6,500 pounds and we gathered it in about 6 months of teardowns. |
