gevo27 Posted January 28, 2004 Report Share Posted January 28, 2004 Hey sip, looks like he wanted a new rear end anyways.. lmao.. that was hilarious.. But he sure pulled something out..... atleast part of that car... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sip Posted January 28, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2004 I can't believe how many things they did wrong ... First of all, with all those guys around, any 2 of them would have easily been able to push that little car back on the road. Second, why pull him back when only his rear is on a bit of snow? Third, the first crack crack should have been a big hint of things to come ... the driver got out and just looked at the bumper ... he never got down to check the hook or wherever the strap was on ... that was when it gave way. All in all, I just laughed soooo hard when the entire rear end came off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gevo27 Posted January 28, 2004 Report Share Posted January 28, 2004 i loved it when they replayed the rear coming off,, and the sound LMAO I mean, once i got my dads suburban stuck on a dirt bike jump, it was teetertottering front to back.. and all we had available was an old ass s 10 pickup truck.. lol... well, it wasnt pretty but we managed to pull it after bout 30 minutes of back and forth, BANG back and forth BANG! etc.. lol... i learned a lesson fromt hat.. big time.... Also, another thing was i wonder why the whole rear end pulled out, i saw the welded end peice on one end, and it ripped out of its mainframe... what the hell kinda manufacturing is that? lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sip Posted January 28, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2004 Well ... these little cars are not your traditional body on chasis type of construction ... they are all unibody and even worse, mostly cheap plastic. Especially with the front wheel drive ones, there's not much reinforcement in the back ... no heavy axles or drive lines to tie into anything. Just a couple of wheels riding on bearings I guess and a couple of shocks or struts. That would NEVER happen to a truck or a body on frame type of vehicle if you tie the strap to the frame ... the worse you'd see is the bumper coming off if the strap was on the bumper but the frame would stay even if a bomb went off. I don't know if I'd ever try to pull a suburban in my S10s ... the front end is just too weak on those to handle that kind of weight. I migh try it in 2WD but I would NEVER do it in 4x4 ... you'll snap a CV joint in a second. Oh yah and especially trying to pull backwards ... that would be just downright stupid in an S10.

gevo27 Posted January 28, 2004 Report Share Posted January 28, 2004 it wasnt my s 10 and it wasnt my idea, lol.. it was my friends idea, who was at fault for me getting stuck in the first place, and it wasnt even 4 wheel drive... i just watched him bang that sucker to hell,, the suburban was stiff, not problems there, but i was afraid of the frame staying and the rest of the s10 flying ... lol.. but all went well, we got it out.. plus now that old s 10 is in there junkpile of cars...

Anileve Posted January 28, 2004 Report Share Posted January 28, 2004 Speaking of snow, check out the pictures I took of the snow (with my new cam). Of course Armat jan, nothing compares to your outstanding photos, but it's a shot. It looks amazing how the snowflakes resemble fireflies or tiny light elves . Actually the branch looks more like it is adorned with decorative lights. There is a building in the background surrounded by reddish street lights. The snow is still viciously falling, submerging the streets of New York in complete tranquility, it's so quiet that you can almost hear yourself breathe. It's going to be about 10' of snow apparently by tomorrow, by the looks of it it might even reach up to a foot. As long as I don't have to work tomorrow I am ecstatically dwelling in the picturesque scenery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
