    Re: Mythbusters drop a 3gee from a crane! 400 foot fall!

    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

    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

    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

    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...
