[Vendetta]

Ive seen this video so many times Tweak :P

Its still funny though :D

[wheel4hummer]

"Rip the bumper, and I'll whoop yer arse!"

LMAO

[XCNuse]

haha i already know what video that is; i laughed so hard the first time my dad showed me that a few years ago its hilarious

[deggis]

That was incredibly smart. I bet those dumbasses never head of a shovel. It might have been more useful. :cookiemon

[Blackout]

Americans :ices_rofl

[ColeusRattus]

Oh shite, I nearly fell on the floor laughing :D

Sadly, it reminds me of a few of my mates, which too tend not thinking out ideas to th (often bitter) end :D

[Tweaker]

Americans :ices_rofl
Right :rolleyes: lets not get into that, since your view is so blinded thinking solely that Americans do stupid things.... ehem... look elsewhere around the world, you'd be surprised man. :scratchch

Because to you I guess it really matters. You had to check where these guys were from in the video, and had to take note that they are from here. Why should that matter?

PM me if you wish, this is off topic.

It's not about Americans, it is about fools. Having read the posts above, at first I thought they'd tear the rear axle out of the car. :D

I've seen a similar thing under my windows: two (probably drunk) idiots tried to reverse their Moskvich from the parking at the house entrance. Instead of steering right to make it turn left (using the square of the parking), they wanted to turn right instantly and made the front wheels ride over high (15 cm) kerb and a pit on the lawn. The car was weak and they spent an hour hanging around and pushing it.

[Blackout]

There are stypid people all over the world, I know. And I do not think that all Americans are idiots. Its hard to say because I cant know everyone. Its a large country so there is space for all kind of people.

And no Tweaker, I didnt had to check where that video is from, its guite obvious, how those guys speak, two ford pickups on the same video and that large license plate back of that tored car :)

I am sorry if hurted someone, but I was rolfing for those guys on the video :D

edit: if someone postes video of drunken Finns, feel free to rolf :tilt:
edit2: And what makes this video funny isnt that those gyus may be Americans, funny is when rip that bumber

I use to have one of these cars, a 92 Geo Storm. One of the biggest pieces of JUNK you'd ever want to own. It was my first brand new car I bought when I was 20. So to the person who commented "I bet those dumbasses never head of a shovel. It might have been more useful", I can say, no, a shovel would definitely not be more useful with this car. Anytime the snow would start to fall, I would be all over the place with mine. Just a dusting on the road? Forget driving the Storm. I learned very early that first winter how to effectively use the parking brake for every time I wanted to turn onto another road, into a parking lot, whatever. If I attempted to turn anywhere with the steering, the car would just slide straight. It was horrible. Well, actually it was more alot of fun at the young age of 20. I wish they would force everyone to drive a Geo Storm through one winter before allowing anyone to get a license. If you can drive it in the winter, you can drive anything.

I got mine stuck similar to the situation in the video. If those kids were a bit smarter, with how many of them there were, they could have just picked the thing up and moved it out of the snow. My girlfriend and I did this one time. It is so light, we didn't pick it up, but lifted it off the suspension enough that the front end was able to slide out onto the road. Then we did the back end. Three guys could easily have picked it up one end at a time and moved it out of the snow.

On a good note, with my Pirelli P500 summer tires, there wasn't a bend anywhere out on the road that I couldn't take at 100 mph. The thing was so small and so light with the grippy Pirelli's it was a blast to fling into any bend. Back in my stupid days, that car probably saw 120 mph more often than any other speed. Had alot of fun with it even though it was a piece of junk.

[hrtburnout]

Drunk Aussie drifters day?

[deggis]

I guess that picture is some Finn joke or something? What does it mean/represent? :D
He was a famous ex-skijumper until something happened in his brains. Nowadays he is drinking and beating his ugly wife every week. Gossip magazines would be in big financial troubles without this remarkable person. :D Actually he was just released from a prison. Obviously a great turndown in his career, from a world champion skijumper to a junkie...

[JamesF1]

Man, Nykänen could jump :) I've only seen a few of his jumps on TV. Didn't know about him falling into drink though...

My favourite ski-jumpers of the past few seasons have been Ahonen and Hautamäki :D

[FinnRacer]

Man, Nykänen could jump :) I've only seen a few of his jumps on TV. Didn't know about him falling into drink though...

He's serious alcoholic nowdays. He was in jail for over a year for attempted manslaughter. Got out of jail 2 weeks ago and after 4 days he already hit his wife with lamp-stand. And week after that he stabbed a man with knife. So things are not going well for him. He's going back to jail for sure. :(

Back his jumping days he was many times competiting totally hangovered. Actually I once saw him in a bar totally wasted night before world cup competition. And next day he won the competition.

Oh and for awhile, after his career, he was stripper. :D

That is a funny vid. But I have always wondered what exactly did the guys supposedly do wrong? Shouldn't the rope fail before the car? Did they attach the rope to the wrong place? It doesn't look like they just pulled off the bumper, there seems to be a lot more missing.

[Tweaker]

Well, look at the aftermath... they show the inside of the bumper --- all rusty and probably very weak structurally. That is probably why... since they are in the snow/wet and all :)

[Vain]

Usually cars have fixation points indicated on the frame. Obviously the bumper wasn't engineered for a force away from the frame. If they'd looked below the car they would surely have found the intended spot.

Thats not a normal rope, looks like a strap that probably can take a couple of tonnes...

[skiingman]

Do you have any idea how uncommon that much snow is in Maryland? Maybe a once a year thing.

Anyone dumb enough to do that DOES set a bad example for the rest of us 'muricans.

Whats wrong with someone pointing out when an American does something particularly dumb?

Yes, its a common towstrap that no one should be without. That looks like a Wal Mart cheapie, probably rated for 8000lbs or so. Good ones can be as much as 30,000lbs.

Well... what does your country have to do with you doing something dumb, so why mention it?... I just don't see why that is the important part or reasoning of them being stupid. And have no idea why you want to continue this, leave that subject alone, it's overwith -- off topic.

Ahh, so its perfectly on-topic for you to bring it up and verbally excoriate someone for, but not OK for anyone to suggest that perhaps you are full of it.

Perhaps you should have sent a PM in the first place, Einstein. Who do you think you are?

edit: I reserve the right to make fun of Southerners, Californians, or any other silly group of people, and I don't particularly care what you think about it.
