Good post. All of those are memorable. If there isnt, there should be a website dedicated to these kinds of things... And it should be a required read for anyone thinking of working on a motor vehicle.

BTW... I think it was a Lambo that went into the lagoon.........

ketchup! · 01-04-2010, 03:13 AM

the guy cutting the wheels off his vw is hilarious

FocusDude · 01-04-2010, 04:38 PM

^^ I never saw that one, and the best part about it is his team title is WHEEL SLAYER! ROFL

importpower99 · 01-04-2010, 05:05 PM

The guy with the VW was funny, but what about the kid that tried to sand blast his engine by pouring sand into the engine?

Holy ****. I just realized he used to post on another forum I'm on. Never did hear if he was actually guilty of killing the girl or just charged...

I'm pretty sure he was making reference to the guys in the vid.
The kid says, "I'm pretty sure its a Lambo dude."

Oh, and #3, among others.
Not epic worthy.

JB'sLGT · 01-05-2010, 01:38 PM

there's quite a few absent threads...

Somebody already mentioned the "Audi sand port and polish"

There was the guy who thought the engine ran backwards in his Cobalt SS when he put it in reverse.

There was the kid in Florida who was talking trash about getting a ticket while street racing and the cop came in and owned him.

More of a epic win but, out in AZ a nazi parking authority thought they were funny by putting a boot on a guy's car (Audi? BMW?) so he put the car on dollies, took the wheels off, and started a war with the authority.

Thank you. Yeah, just a comical reference to the video. Notice the

in previous post.
+1 on #3. While still funny, its not as awesome as destroying your engine.
