Wow. This guy made a fantastic video that will play well in a civil court. Owner admits the brakes are inadequate and the throttle is sticking and then proceeds to plow into the back of a minivan. All captured on video. Case closed. Fix the car? He'll be lucky to have enough money left to resore a wheelbarrow.
I don't know who the broken teeth guy is. If he passes himself off as a car guru on his videos, then I'd hold him 25% responsible in a lawsuit. I watch a lot of YouTube videos but would never watch **** like this. 1300 HP street cars that have no purpose in life other than to sound tough and do smoky burnouts just don't impress me. Show me the ET slip or lap times.
But this opened my eyes in a positive way. My 64 Valiant has that pretty metal dash, drum brakes and lap belts. The interior is close coupled with not much room to the dash. I don't know if adding the optional padding on the dash would do much, maybe only lose 2 teeth instead of 4? But before it rolled even a single foot under its own power I had converted to a dual MC system. I do have discs ready to go on and that will be a winter project.
I'm not going to be showing this video to my lady friend who rides many miles with me. Interesting that when my son rode with me to Carlisle last year, he made it clear that the metal dash and closeness made him uncomfortable. Guess that means he learned something after totaling 2 Neons in his younger days.
