hey, like i said, i'm sorry; "stupid 18 year olds" could go either way as a blanket statment...being 18 with a wife and 2 year old, i've got more that my share of ignorant statments. we are not on welfare, we dont abuse our daughter, we pay our rent...it's funny that most of the people that make ignorant statments are my in-laws...i wont post here mad anymore. anyways, stupid idiots pulling cars apart...wooohoooo

Remember when they used take a Honda or a Toyota car and put it in between 2 monster trucks and see how long it would take to rip them apart?? I thought those old monster truck rallies were pretty cool.

Now that video, they should have used a little more common sense like maybe hookin up to the bottom like an axle or even where a tow truck would hook up to it.

They did hook to a piece of the frame, it ripped apart, sheared the bolts and welds right apart. Cheap engineering, thats what it is. They weren't being dumb about the place they hooked too, they shouldn't have tried to pull through the snow bank, that was dumb

I thought it was great I downloaded it at work and everyone loved it, kinda reminds me, when I was 18 I went to help a chick out and jack her car up off of a 1' tall cement wall she drove over. I didnt get the jack on the frame so I punched a hole through her floor board, luckily she didnt hear or see it. my friend did and got his jack to help. we got her off the wall and went our ways. we all do stupid stuff at sometime in our life.

This is nothing effensive towards 18 year olds, But im younger then them and not the brightest kid in the world but i think that even i could have figured out that you should push it forward then back out instead of pulling it throught the snow.
Anyways, I guess thats what you get for buying a Geo storm.

I showed that to my friend who drives a car like that, and he didn't quite see the humor in it that we did.

The 18 yr old driver of the car is stupid. Reason being, he couldnt back his car out of the driveway. Looked like there was enough room to back out, all he had to do was shovel a little more snow in the driveway and he could have gotten out. Oh well. Lesson learned...

Stoned?

Come to think of it, yeah. I guess. They were like "No, no!" but real mellow-like.

If that were my car I'd be freakin'! Mind you, I wouldn't be stupid enough to let my friends try to pull it out the hard way.

I didn't change it. I guess someone thought the comment about a certain age-group was too controversial. That's fine. I guess I will have to watch what I say. It's water under the bridge.

BTW, thanks Monsta for backing me up. I guess we see eye to eye.

Seemed like a total lack of common sense to me. I have seen very intelligent people that lacked that tho... WOW!

My 18 yr old son saved it to his hard drive also for laughs.
