watch the video!

If you were this man filling your Porsche with gas and you happened to see these tires heading for your car (Not you) would you:

:confused: A. Be a real man and jump out in front of them like a human shield to protect your Porsche?


:eek: B. Let them destroy your Porsche because you are a <pussy?


:cool: C. Let them nail your car because you have a great insurance policy with a low deductable?


:p D. Deflect them somehow so they nail somebody else.


Tell the truth...

A. I would never let them hit my car even if it meant getting jacked up like that guy...:p

I would have kicked them and deflected them into that Hardley Ableson guy that Dawg was chasing on I-15

My wife thinks i'm weird, LOL that guy got JACKED UP! To answer the question, I'd take the beating before letting them hit my baby...

Like you Dawg:

1. Kids (my 2 little girls)
2. uhhhh... Wife ;)
3. Porsche

You guys are effing crazy. There is no way i would try to stop them. Sure, I have insurance on myself and my car but it's a whole lot less painful to fix a car. Not to mention the life long side effects of his injuries.

I guess I'm still at the age where I think I'm indestructible... although I've recently started to realize that things hurt more the older I get, and the things I mess up cost more to fix as well...

You're just getting started paying for your youth. ;)

That is one hell of a lot of inertia hitting this guy. Looks like they put down some rubber on him while he was pinned.
In high school I worked as a tire changer. We did spin balance at 70MPH without a safety hoop. I had one get loose one night and I did what I was told to do, crawl under the workbench! Wow, sure made me a believer, I say the Porsche can be replaced!
You jump in between a loose tire and your Porsche and having children would no longer be a consideration.

I sheered the studs off one axle of my drag car one evening years ago while horsing around on the street. My wheel and tire were found a block away in a Hardee's parking lot. I thank God it was late and no one was around to get in its way.

I value walking and leg movement more than my 930, so I guess I take choice C!
I can always mash the clutch pedal on another 930 my insurance would buy for me ;)

Nothing you could do in that exact situation.. he didn't even see it coming and it wiped his azz out!! Just like it would have done you or I!

Ouch.
Obviously C. Those things weigh a lot. I would not be surprised if that guy never fully recovers.

My daily driver is a motorcycle. I always have a fear when passing trucks that the tire will blow off and hit me. (I also have that fear when i see people with a really bad unbalance or bent/loose wheel).
This video doesn't make me feel good.

This video was never meant to make anyone feel good. I just thought most of us guys have thought about how far we would go to save our babes. I would say more so than anything that that guy has some serious bad luck. He would be the type to get hit by lightning.

Anyway- I'm changing some fuel lines tomorrow. I have escaped most accidents up to this point. Don't want to see her burn. I have no Idea when any of those hoses have been R and R'd. give them the ol bend test and see if they cracks and crevices.

Thought about those lately????

TGIF

Bob

I heard that guy was hit by lightning later in the video......I think the video was clipped!

Those tires look like they might have come off a 930 turbo with the dually package that Harley Ableson guy was trading up his sister, uh I mean wife, uh I mean the same person for.
