I want to start an endurance racing series in which all competing cars have donut spares on all four corners. It would be quite the spectacle, so long as competitors are allowed unlimited extra tires!
I don't see it so much as "stupidity" as just a common occurrence in the world of rally. In such a demanding form of racing, things like this happen to even the greatest drivers.
I assume you're talking about the article picture, which is showing the back of the bus. The front has a much-needed "full" windshield like any other bus.
Well, in regards to "B", what else was he going to do? Get the jack and spare out when a truck just barreled through the pileup at 50+mph? I would happily put a little further damage on the already ruined tire/wheel than stay in that kill zone waiting for another truck driver to come through.
2: Exactly, and the Evo driver obviously knows this. 3: He was obviously in the most possible control considering his car was sliding across black ice, he steered for the side of the road, away from other cars. Just because one is swearing in a situation such as this doesn't mean they are helpless.
He was definitely going too fast for the conditions, however.
The flat-rate service for spark plugs on a Subaru Outback 3.0 H6 flags three hours, I think that was the most irritating spark plug replacement I have ever performed.
Well, I was considering selling my current car to get a MkIII Jetta so I can drive around my hometown blasting Skrillex and Deadmau5 (pronouncing the latter "Dead Mao Five") and be trendy and cool like that!
That really is a great idea, as they both are arguably the safest motorsport programs around. Accidents and car damage can still happen, but it's really the best place to learn the safe limits of your car and driving ability.
