For me his biggest mistake was not including a differential wrench release button in the build. You press that, it drops a nice chrome vanadium wrench into the meshed gears and stops the car in a split second.

You're saying the undersized steel brakes couldn't absorb the heat and it was transferred to the brake fluid? That's a weird conflation with Porsche CCBs fading. According to the owner the brakes were done 17 years prior, he "should've gone bigger" and there was old fluid in the system.
Those look like lap belts to me champ.

So now were back to you providing one instance of someone complaining about Porsche CCBs fading. Those things can take repeated 100+mph stops. They simply aren't comparable to undersized steel brakes with almost 20 year old fluid and to pretend otherwise is moronic Anon. This thing had smaller brakes than my 30 year old Mustang with 1000hp less.

Who was the chick that just drowned in a tesla because she couldn't open the door?
You know, the one that called her friend while her car was sinking in a pond...
It makes me happy knowing that no matter how fricked up my life is I have a very, very low chance of drowning after my car plunges into a pond and I have to sit inside helplessly trapped and making increasingly desperate phone calls while the water slowly makes its way in.
just watched the video looks like he does something to the lever but the car just jerks forward even faster
he shifts it into park, that rattling you hear is the parking pawl trying to engage with the gearbox. after the crash when the car's slow enough you see it suddenly lurch to a stop when the pawl finally actually engages.
because he is a fricking idiot and has no busy operating anything with an engine in it...literally all he had to do was turn off the engine and down shift into 1st gear...instead he leaves the engine running and attempts to shift it into park and shells out the transmission and then fully locks his arms out right before impact...the guy is a fricking moron and I hope the people he crashed into sued the frick out of him since he posted the video of showing this whole incident was due to his moronation. He was riding the brakes for along time before this crash because the either the engine was idling too high or the throttle was partial stuck...instead of stopping he keeps driving around until the brakes are smoked and then crashes into a bunch of stopped cars at a stop light.

How many ratchet shifters have you operated?
Zero? Zilch? Zip? Nada? Is that right?
Of course, you probably can barely afford your bus tickets, chump.
One Wilwood caliper in Russ' car is worth more than the clapped out Kia you allow yourself to dream of owning one day.
And had you been in his place, you would have done worse, at least he bought some time swerving. Hindsight is 20/20.
For someone who spent the previous night banging his broad to the Grateful Dead in his boat rather than sleeping his reactions were quick. But a virgin like you wouldn't know anything about that.
You sit on the bench all your life, while guys like Russ play the field and make history. Sometimes you get hurt, but like my old man used to say "can't win if you don't play".
Building a death machine and rear-ending a family of four isn't something to be proud of, Russ. It would've been better for you to sit this one out on the bench.

The guy on the left. He went out and found a death trap to make youtube shekels and was all giddy about it untill it hit him in the face. Then acted like he was the victim in the typical passive aggressive boomer manner like it wasn't his fault.
He built an unsafe car with insufficient brakes and seat belts for how powerful it was and a transmission that didn't give him the option of throwing the car in neutral. His throttle was sticking forcing him to ride his brakes and he kept driving until the brakes went out and he no longer had any way of stopping the car. And finally when the throttle did stick he generally handled the situation poorly and ended up plowing into the back of another car at full speed instead of driving off the road as quickly as possible.

It was a '64. They are worth a fortune.
Stand corrected. Love all the early Comets.

The driver on every conceivable level.
He built an unsafe car with insufficient brakes and seat belts for how powerful it was and a transmission that didn't give him the option of throwing the car in neutral. His throttle was sticking forcing him to ride his brakes and he kept driving until the brakes went out and he no longer had any way of stopping the car. And finally when the throttle did stick he generally handled the situation poorly and ended up plowing into the back of another car at full speed instead of driving off the road as quickly as possible.
It had full harnesses, opinion discarded
Those look like lap belts to me champ.
Why is his back going full shrimp style
Because they only secured the lower portion of the 5 point harness. Have you never heard the colloquialism "appearances can be deceiving"?
