and the point of them doing this was what? they allready droped 1 car from a crane didnt know there was anything else to learn by doing it again lol. looked like the car was modded a bit with rims and seems like clear bumper signals. i wana see the video clip of this part now

[frantik]

it was 'modded' with mismatched rims and a mismatched door..

who cares what the point was, it was fun watching it. they dropped a third car with even weight distribution and it flattened like a pancake

[Rendon LX-i]

that was a waste of a 3gee..

[Tdurr]

i need those rims on the back.. lol i already got 2 of them...

[86ccord]

i needed those moldings..

[AccordB20A]

i needed a good laugh at how it crunched up like that haha pretty epic. remind me not to hit a brick wall at 200km/h

[Civic Accord Honda]

Lol!

[cubert]

I hate when a thread like this comes up and people get all bent out of shape because a 3gee got damaged/destroyed...


Back on topic...I cant believe how crumpled that car is...

[Tdurr]

i needed those moldings..

hey, come up here this weekend and we can go to the Jy and snatch a bunch for you... lol...:stick:

word.. how many 3geez get sent to the crusher every week? at least this one had a spectacular death :D

[paul]

Somewhere around a 110mph impact speed... :wave:

[Vanilla Sky]

Yeah, seriously. Do you guys know how many that I've PERSONALLY junked? At least thise one wasn't in good shape. I've junked 2 that weren't in bad shape at all. It's no big deal.

haha! True, true...

[forrest89sei]

I Couldn't believe it when i saw that 3g in the line up of cars, But they picked it because it's a common and cheap car, no reason to get bent out of shape, I got it on my DVR, I'll upload a clip of it sometime

[carotman]

At least it was carbed.

I hate when they destroy any good shape car.

In fact, I have yet to see a bad shape car in California (to Canadian Standards)

I see 2000+ cars here that are in this shape...

[84Accord]

but was the car moving or the earth? :tongue:

[markmdz89hatch]

seriously, only 110 mph from 400ft fall ?

That should make any of us think twice, nay 3 or 4 times, about doing stupid shit in our cars (or any car for that matter) at high speeds. Not saying "don't drive fast" but more-so, don't drive fast and stupid. Racing on the streets (imo) = pretty stupid (in most cases).

[frantik]

less than 110 due to wind resistance

Not saying "don't drive fast" but more-so, don't drive fast and stupid. Racing on the streets (imo) = pretty stupid (in most cases).just don't jump anything and fall 400 feet straight down. a volvo would have looked like that if they dropped it. normally in a crash energy is absorbed by the other object and dissapated in other ways,this was a dive right into the ground. i've seen cars dropped from cranes before without this much damage, i suspect they did some cutting on the cars to make the crashes more spectacular. remember jamie and Adam are special effects specialists, they know how to make destruction better for tv
