Remember, always buckle your seatbelt!

Sorry, but no seatbelt, airbag, HANS restraint, or insta-foam is going to save you if your car is struck by two rocket sleds.

*timeshift

Adding video to channels (Timeshift) - requested by ObsidianStorm.

I just love their reactions.. =D

Srsly, that needed a "Holy fucking shit!!"

I love how it ripped the tape off their speed measuring board!

I think they overshot the mark a bit.

I thought this was very awesome, but it was highly flawed from a pancaking point of view. They should have made the impact wall strong enough to absorb the full impact without moving or exploding like in the footage. Now it turned into an explosion instead of a pure crushing. I want to see them do it again with a very strong wall

I think having the booster stage hit a couple seconds later as well was a bit much...

Was that Buster's head I saw in the wreckage? Would you seriously bother putting a mannequin in a test like that?

They just needed a little more baking soda in that pancake recipe, then it woulda been fluffier.

Seems that this video had a rocket-booster of its own! Incredibly shot right to the top of the first page!

Hooooly crap. I want one in my backyard.

America...Fuck Yeah!

> America...Fuck Yeah!

i.e.

now run two of these into each other

I had a VW Bug that could accelerate like that.






You don't know how hard it was to get the rockets attached to the bumper.

Of course. For dramatic impact.

Pancaking...? I think that is more like desintegrating...

Jesus. Fucking. PLANETS!
(I stole Blankfists line)

They should try it with pancakes.

Vaporized is more like it.

I just got around to watching the episode yesterday (recorded on my DVR). That was one of the best episodes yet, I have a feeling this is going to be a great season.

The high speed footage looks like the car just liquefies.

I love how in the high-speed footage it crumples the car like paper. The rocket ram just "slides" through it with no resistance whatsoever from the car.

geez, how can I get their job?

Wow....that was some obscene acceleration.

Right after Adam says, "Wow!" ... that facial expression had me cracking up. What a great season opener!
