Who was in the wrong here?
>let go of gas pedal rube goldberg machine>it keeps going forwardRetard design
>>27605411Why didn't he shift in neutral or turn off ignition?
>>27605411Driver. Car idling high so driver rides brakes. Brakes fade until none left when he needed them. Based 65 Comet did nothing wrong.
>>27605411The crossover in front
>>27605452
>>27605414isn't that the case for every autotragic though? pretty sure you need your foot on the brake to not have it crawl
>>27605411Driver. Didn't install NHRA approved throttle springs to prevent stuck throttle, and didn't install brakes specc'd to the horsepower his engine was making all but ensuring brake failure, then rode his brakes ensuring total boomer catastrophe. >>27605414Retard user doesn't understand cars>uses useless buzzwordsRoom temperature IQ, possible even negative
>>27605603For me his biggest mistake was not including a differential wrench release button in the build. You press that, it drops a nice chrome vanadium wrench into the meshed gears and stops the car in a split second.
>>27605411red hat pisses me off so much
>>27605425just watched the video looks like he does something to the lever but the car just jerks forward even faster
>>27605425>>27605866he shifts it into park, that rattling you hear is the parking pawl trying to engage with the gearbox. after the crash when the car's slow enough you see it suddenly lurch to a stop when the pawl finally actually engages.
Has the dust even settled?
>>27605411mom said it's my turn to be an obnoxious faggot and repost this same gay shit thread for the n +1th time.
>>27605411the morons who got into a car with a full harness, and only wore lap belts.
>>27605603>brakes specc'd to the horsepowerThat's not a thing, lol. He was riding the brakes, you could have Porsche ceramics and still get the same result.
>>27605886>dust.Ironic since that is a defining aspect of a comet...
>>27606002go seethe and dump your pants over it boomie
>>27606042>lap belt's just fine
>>27605411The boomer for building the worst death trap imaginable and then admitting that it was only because he was an awful husband
>>27606002Hi Russ
>>27606525Tell me Anonymous, do you really believe Russ would waste his time on this dead shithole? He's probably servicing some Playboy bunny type while you try to find him in this crappy forum. Spit it out kid, how many cars have you built? How many divorces have you gone through? How many ratchet shifters have you operated?Zero? Zilch? Zip? Nada? Is that right? Of course, you probably can barely afford your bus tickets, chump.One Wilwood caliper in Russ' car is worth more than the clapped out Kia you allow yourself to dream of owning one day.And had you been in his place, you would have done worse, at least he bought some time swerving. Hindsight is 20/20. For someone who spent the previous night banging his broad to the Grateful Dead in his boat rather than sleeping his reactions were quick. But a virgin like you wouldn't know anything about that.You sit on the bench all your life, while guys like Russ play the field and make history. Sometimes you get hurt, but like my old man used to say "can't win if you don't play".
>>27606772Building a death machine and rear-ending a family of four isn't something to be proud of, Russ. It would've been better for you to sit this one out on the bench.
>>27606772the fisher casts his reel. exquisite technique
>>27606902Yikes, why are you so obssessed with Russ? Are you one of those nutjobs who belong in an institution? I just know a guy who knows Russ and talked to him about the accident. My name's Dennis. Anyways, how are those Kia dreams coming along, virgin? Have you downgraded your dreams from a clapped out Optima to a clapped out Spectra yet?>>27606948I wish I could, but I'm enjoying other pleasures at the moment (cruise).
>>27607009>I just know a guy who knows Russ and talked to him about the accident.Bullshit. How'd you know so many details about his sex life? It's more likely that you were sitting in the cuck chair watching him do his business with your woman. That's exactly the kind of person who'd defend a maniac like Russ.
>>27607046Because those were his words, that he was absolutely drained that day from boning that lass the entire night.And that it was an ironic twist of fate he had been listening to Caution (don’t stop on the tracks) many times that night.
>>27607046And I defend him because no one's free from having that happen to him, you don't know what you don't know. It was unexpected to end up like that, things seemed fine until they weren't.
>>27605430It was a '64. They are worth a fortune.
>>27606772Lamo i hope this isnt copy. Very creative there
The guy on the left. He went out and found a death trap to make youtube shekels and was all giddy about it untill it hit him in the face. Then acted like he was the victim in the typical passive aggressive boomer manner like it wasn't his fault.
>>27605414Okay libtard. I hate America. Nothing but brainwashed idiots. We need Trump more than ever.
>>27605411You, for posting these stupid boomer fucks again
>>27605411The hooknose of course. Always is.
>>27607207Someone must have tipped Russ about 4chan
>>27607009are you actually on a cruise? everyone i know irl that's been on one says it gets boring real quick
>>27607009>DennisIs that your middle name, Russ?
>>27605411I hate these threads.But you faggos need to follow proper protocol. picrel.
>>27606902
>>27607256If he knows about this place he sure as fuck isn't here, I'm just killing time. Imagine coming to a place where everyone constantly tries to fuck with your life.>>27607257It would be a blast if not for the wet rags running the outfit. Other cruises I went on were much better, it's just not the same in the post-COVID era.>>27607258I'm not Russ, for fuck's sake.>>27607382There were no passengers in the rear. Just the driver. Moreover the cabin itself didn't deform. only the trunk area. No one sustained serious injuries in that modern minivan with modern crumple zones, modern seatbealts and airbags. The feats of modern engineering. Why do you kids keep trying to make Russ into a criminal?
>>27607689Because what he did to that car is criminal
>>27607910He's going to repair it eventually, criminal is letting a car like that rot in some backyard for decades instead of letting it shine in all its glory.
>>27607182Stand corrected. Love all the early Comets.
>>27607256I really wish someone would, Id love to ask him about the car
>>27607972Let me guess, after two more marriages and with smaller brakes this time?
>>27605886The brake dust is still circulating.
>>27605411HOLD ONNNN!
>>27608245Kek
>>27608245the dust will continue to circulate until fade improves

>>27606772you're him
>>27605411driver is an absolute fucking gooflooks like Goofy from mickey mouse
I still get a kick of them literally sitting on their five point safety harness.
>>27609161Can't unsee it
>>27606772Nice damage control, Russ
>>27607361>That reflection
>>27606772>How many divorces have you gone through? How many ratchet shifters have you operated?kek outstanding great one anon
>>27606772>Tell me Anonymous, do you really believe Russ would waste his time on this dead shithole? He's probably servicing some Playboy bunny type while you try to find him in this crappy forum.
>>27605414
>>27609630I don't get it

>>27609426Is this a corpse?
>>27609783>smelly kraut hands typed this
>>27610616you can smell the fucking cabbage
>>27609532If there's anyone who I'd believe would come to defend himself so vehemently here, he'd look exactly like this
>>27605414Who was the chick that just drowned in a tesla because she couldn't open the door?You know, the one that called her friend while her car was sinking in a pond...
>>27609775u live under a rock?https://techcrunch.com/2024/04/19/tesla-cybertruck-throttle-accelerator-pedal-stuck/
>>27613051Shouldn't be an issue, those vehicles have radars for collision avoidance
>>27605411>Who was in the wrong here?The driver on every conceivable level. He built an unsafe car with insufficient brakes and seat belts for how powerful it was and a transmission that didn't give him the option of throwing the car in neutral. His throttle was sticking forcing him to ride his brakes and he kept driving until the brakes went out and he no longer had any way of stopping the car. And finally when the throttle did stick he generally handled the situation poorly and ended up plowing into the back of another car at full speed instead of driving off the road as quickly as possible.
>>27613128It had full harnesses, opinion discarded
>>27613136Those look like lap belts to me champ.
>>27606388>That's not a thing,Then why do brakes scale up with power in street cars?>you could have Porsche ceramics and still get the same result.I'll wait for you to provide one instance of someone complaining about brake fade with carbon ceramic brakes in a Porsche.
>>27613142
>>27613155I'll wait for you to provide one instance where someone driving a ceramic-equipped Porsche rode the brakes. The calipers/discs weren't the problem here, it was the boiling brake fluid.
>>27613142Because they only secured the lower portion of the 5 point harness. Have you never heard the colloquialism "appearances can be deceiving"?
>>27605411I love these threads. It's the boomer delusion and over confidence made manifest.
>>27613194Where's the delusion? I can see the overconfidence
>>27613166>make comparison to porsche carbon ceramics which are known for incredible fade resistance>hurr well sure I can't back that upThought so retard. >The calipers/discs weren't the problem here, it was the boiling brake fluid.You're saying the undersized steel brakes couldn't absorb the heat and it was transferred to the brake fluid? That's a weird conflation with Porsche CCBs fading. According to the owner the brakes were done 17 years prior, he "should've gone bigger" and there was old fluid in the system. >>27613142Pic related.
>>27613243>which are known for incredible fade resistancePrecisely the point of the comparison, because not even those could handle someone riding them for half an hour
>>27605411
>>27606772>For someone who spent the previous night banging his broad to the Grateful Dead in his boatthe first or the second one that left him?
>>27613158Why is his back going full shrimp style
How many times can you people have the same discussion about the same video? You realize this shit is 2 years old at this point?
>>27614090I unironically think they're bots. Dead internet theory stuff. I wouldn't be surprised if most repeated thread topics across all boards were just bots replying to each other.
>>27614056That reads just like this >>27606772
>>27605411Both wrenchlets who don't understand basic mechanics.
>>27614090>>27614092>WAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH STOP LAUGHING AT MY RETARDATION AND HUBERIS!!! YOU ALREADY DID A GORINLLION DAYS AGO!!! STOOOOOOPCry about it boomer faggots
>>27614198Are you schizophrenic by any chance?
>>27605411>>27613790WHY DID YOU MAKE THE SAME FUCKING THREAD AGAIN?
>>27605425because he is a fucking idiot and has no busy operating anything with an engine in it...literally all he had to do was turn off the engine and down shift into 1st gear...instead he leaves the engine running and attempts to shift it into park and shells out the transmission and then fully locks his arms out right before impact...the guy is a fucking retard and I hope the people he crashed into sued the fuck out of him since he posted the video of showing this whole incident was due to his retardation. He was riding the brakes for along time before this crash because the either the engine was idling too high or the throttle was partial stuck...instead of stopping he keeps driving around until the brakes are smoked and then crashes into a bunch of stopped cars at a stop light.
>>27611808> Don't own a Tesla> Carry a gun everywhere I goIt makes me happy knowing that no matter how fucked up my life is I have a very, very low chance of drowning after my car plunges into a pond and I have to sit inside helplessly trapped and making increasingly desperate phone calls while the water slowly makes its way in.
>>27607689Shut up russ
>>27613204Needs a blue shell in the rear window
>>27614226lurk for 5 years before posting, newfren
>>27608226I'm sure he'll make sure the safety system is sound this time.>>27609136No I'm not him, damn.>>27609161>>27609171>>27609532Post your face>>27609381Not Russ>>27614090I know right? People get obsessed over something and it's like Groundhog Day. The entire internet has been like that since the crash. >>27614198It stopped being funny a long time ago, freak.>>27614226The kid just can't let go.>>27614669"You think I'm lame? You must be Russ!!!"I don't know why I even keep coming to this crappy place just to get disappointed at you all time and time again.
>>27615501HOLD ON posting is better than the old bait which was multiple threads of that tranny YouTuber mechanic.
>>27614037So now were back to you providing one instance of someone complaining about Porsche CCBs fading. Those things can take repeated 100+mph stops. They simply aren't comparable to undersized steel brakes with almost 20 year old fluid and to pretend otherwise is retarded Anon. This thing had smaller brakes than my 30 year old Mustang with 1000hp less.
>>27615746>repeated 100+mph stopsWith plenty of time to cool in between
>>27615746You don't rate brakes based on engine HP but on expected driving speed and vehicle weight
>>27605411>I...will...return
>>27615501>It stopped being funny a long time ago, freak.lol, noany time i'm feeling down i just think of the comet boomers and it puts a smile on my face
>>27616574They're amazingly stupid by boomer standards since any kid of that generation who actually wrenched would not have done that stupid shit. It's a shame they weren't killed.
>>27616594Wrenchlets amirite?
>>27606772>How many divorces have you gone through?>How many ratchet shifters have you operated?
>>27615501Russ, if you don't want people to think you're Russ then stop defending him.
>>27613105retard
>>27616594You'd be wrong.>>27617296I don't defend him because I'm him, I defend him because you kids with no lives are wrong here.
>>27616462>expected driving speed Which is derived from hp+aero+gearing. Pretending power isn't part of the equation is simply retard tier.
>>27618214That car was only going to reach top speed in a drag strip. The accident here had nothing to do with the brakes being capable of stopping the car under normal circumstances (without the throttle sticking)
>>27618205So you're him, but that's not the reason you defend him? Is that what you're saying Russ?
>>27618205This is getting pathetic, Russ
@27615501>mass replieropinion disregarded
>>27613142>>27613158>>27613169>Because they only secured the lower portion of the 5 point harness.That crash just keeps getting stupider the more I learn about it.
>>27606772waow
HOLD ON
>>27605411You just watched that video of Sam Hyde reacting to this video. Don't lie OP.
>>27621857OP here, there's a Sam reaction to it? I'll look it up
>>27620565The more I learn about it the least I understand them not dying.
