That must have hurt!

macroy · Jul 19, 2005, 09:10 PM

HOLY SH*T!!!

Was there anyone in the car? I'd expect to see blood all over the back window or the front of that truck. DAMN....

budster101 · Jul 19, 2005, 09:10 PM

outlaw small cars. They're unsafe.

Eh, that will buff right out.

budster101 · Jul 19, 2005, 09:26 PM

Hey Barney Fife, the damage is on the other end?......

Eug Wanker · Jul 19, 2005, 09:32 PM

I hope there wasn't anyone in the car.

Check out this accident
that I saw last winter. Odd resting position for the SUV

As macroy said, there would probably be blood everywhere. Hopefully. If someone was in that car...

Obi Wan's Ghost · Jul 19, 2005, 10:10 PM

Hopefully the driver was sitting in the backseat

I was driving on a mountain road which had been dug right thru the rock. On one side of the road was a wall of stone going straight up. 90 degrees, perpendicular to the road.

When I rounded one corner I noticed a car pointed straight up. The trunk was in the ditch, the wheels were on the mountain-side, and the front of the car was at the top. Basically it was standing on end, resting against the mountain. It was like the car suddenly learned how to walk, on its rear bumper.

The driver and passenger were standing by the car, and there was no gross damage that instantly obvious. To this day I still don't understand how they could have managed that, not get hurt, and have no obvious damage.

Mastrap · Jul 19, 2005, 10:21 PM

Intriguing. No debris anywhere? I'd expect at least some glass on the tarmac.
Also, what happened to the engine block? If this is supposed to have been a head on collision then the smaller car should display damage similar to this:

Head on with a truck at 60mph. The passenger cell should have, at least partly, withstood the impact and the car should have been pushed backwards as energy was dissipated.

It's under the truck's front bumper.

Mastrap · Jul 19, 2005, 10:41 PM

Doubt it. See how the truck rests on it's tires? The engine should have been caught by the axle and the car pushed back.

Yeah, it looks like the truck was dropped on the car.

MaxPower · Jul 19, 2005, 10:55 PM

I have seen the rest of the pictures. There are indeed two very flat people in there. You ask where the stuff all went? On the headliner. I kid you not.

It quite unsettling to see first thing in the morning reading my email. (butthead ogrish-loving friends)

JoshuaZ · Jul 19, 2005, 11:51 PM

Whenever I drove my small Honda around town, I always felt very... unsafe... around SUVs. I mean the damned bumpers on SUVs were at the same level as my face when I was driving.

stevesnj · Jul 19, 2005, 11:54 PM

cool the wing is okay wheww!!

Doofy · Jul 20, 2005, 04:25 AM

So much for the safety tests. Those folks probably be alive right now if they were driving an SUV.

bells0 · Jul 20, 2005, 07:54 AM

Seen the rest of the pics too, very disturbing and will turn your stomach. Drive safe people!!

I've been around big trucks like that. Trust me. Most of that **** is underneath the front bumper. Trucks don't really have much behind that bumper, and it isn't as strong as you'd think. There's kinda a big empty space behind the front bumpers of cabovers like that.

Great. Thanks for that Tooki. Now you've pissed off everyone looking at this thread rather than just the few on dial-up who had to wait for a JPG to download before. Nice job.

It's not about dialup, it's about layout distortion. End of discussion, I will delete any further posts in this thread about this, since it's derailment.

legacyb4 · Jul 20, 2005, 04:02 PM

So, morbid curiosity beckons... what was the link?

Doofy · Jul 20, 2005, 06:57 PM

For those who didn't see the original image, it was the back end of a car (b-pillar back) sticking out from under the front of a cab-over truck. No blood, nothing gory.

OpenStep · Jul 20, 2005, 07:24 PM

Can We See The Image Please???

nonhuman · Jul 20, 2005, 07:45 PM

If someone posts the link, I'll download, resize, host, and re-post it...

Athens · Jul 20, 2005, 08:02 PM

link please

Doofy · Jul 20, 2005, 08:54 PM

Really guys, you're making a fuss over nothing. Not that big of a deal - just the back end of a car sticking out from under the front of a cab-over.

Are you using Safari? When I try to bring up my history it updated with the latest thread. With all my posts deleted.

For the lazy among us:

budster101 · Jul 20, 2005, 10:24 PM

Is this ok? I'm not sure why there is a problem with it.

 · Jul 20, 2005, 10:25 PM

Woah!

(hopefully this wont get deleted - dunno why my other two were)

budster101 · Jul 20, 2005, 10:25 PM

Whoa. Deja vu!!!

Same freaking size too!!!

There is no problem with this. The original image was vastly too huge, hence its deletion.

budster101 · Jul 20, 2005, 10:40 PM

Ok, I got the impression there was more to it... but that's cool. So, the question everyone always asks has been answered... "Size does matter"...

Ke^in · Jul 20, 2005, 10:50 PM

BRB! going to wash my hands a bunch of times.

They are dirty!

It's called 50% scale.

Buckaroo · Jul 20, 2005, 10:57 PM

It's better in full scale. There are more pictures. The others show the bodies.

budster101 · Jul 20, 2005, 10:58 PM

But we edited the same image at the same time to the same exact size.
What are the odds?

I could have set it to 40 percent or even 55 percent... but I just changed the width pixels
to something I thought was fair in size.

Why the confusion?

Inline Images
Inline images may not be wider than 480 pixels, nor taller than 720 pixels, UNLESS the thread title includes "Picture Thread", "JPEG Orgy" or something to that effect.
