I think, in Rally racing, this is actually called "building the rear axle out of confectioner's sugar."

Looks like the rear diff locked during the turn and broke the rear axles at the splines.

of course, the real reason this occurred is because the car is French.

anyone know what's going on here? did the distortion of the rubber through the turn cause the wheel to touch the sidewall and actually seize the axle up?

the voice? alicia keyes meets axl rose.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

Hilarious, Axl as harried 3rd grade teacher.

easily amazed, are we?

A better trick is to spin a bicycle wheel real fast, hold it on both sides fo the axle then sit on a chair that can rotate.
Tilt the wheel to one side and you will start spinning around.

Next week: things rush to the ground when you let them go.

Funny history of this bird.
http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/01/24/parakeet.putt.ap/index.html

The first bird belonged to a college girlfriend. Cota was left to care for it, and it died... He tried to slip in a replacement parakeet -- and ended up single with plenty of free time to train his new pet parakeet, named "Axl" for the lead singer of Guns N' Roses.

Axl was accidentally crushed only hours before he was scheduled to perform on "The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson" in May 1990. Cota's college roommate fell asleep and rolled on top of the bird in a hotel room provided by NBC. The death made national news.

Carson gave Cota a new parakeet, A.J., whose name is a nod to Axl and to Carson. He told Cota to come back on the show when he'd trained the new bird.

'Fitted with a special towing adaptor to connect it to the jet's undercarriage, plus almost 4.3 tonnes of metal ballast, the Touareg itself weighed in at over 7 tonnes. The vehicle was an ordinary production version powered by a V10 turbo diesel with 553ft-lbs of torque, and featured fully standard self-levelling air suspension, wheels and tires. The only modification was the fitment of the 4.56 axle ratio from the Touareg V8 model in place of the 3.27 gearing of the V10.'

Great concept piece, audio interviews with people who have spotted Axl around town, with reenactment footage of the events.

Yeah, that's my bad....misread someone's interpretation. Apparently it's Metal Skool, some LA band that does covers of all the classics. Mods, please change "Axl Rose and company" to "Metal Skool" in the title.

I have no idea who these tools are, but that is NOT Axl Rose, or GNR.
Still, it does fulfill my drunk Kelly Clarkson fantasies.
