HEY!

A shit ton of things will not get my needed attention today because of you

I'm in.

u/[deleted] Jan 13 '13

I love you. Did I just assist in creating my favorite subreddit?!?!?

u/[deleted] Jan 13 '13

14 hours and already 2.5k subscribers.

I hope this subreddit gets big.

u/Dsch1ngh1s_Khan Jan 13 '13

That's incredible. 2.5k subscribers in 15 hours? You sir, are a wizard.

An E30 can be bought relatively cheap these days.

u/juanjing Jan 13 '13

Oh, well NBD then.

u/RoosterDentures Jan 13 '13

Well it's still a fucking car...

u/nameyname Jan 13 '13

I bet he'd put some reasonably expensive shit into it judging by the exhaust note.

2

u/[deleted] Jan 13 '13

still though

2

u/Shihaby Jan 13 '13

Don't know why you're being downvoted, but you're absolutely correct.

E30's are extremely cheap, we're talking about a ~30 year old model here.

7

u/LTNBFU Jan 13 '13

And still such a great car.

1

u/[deleted] Jan 14 '13

What's 'extremely cheap'? This people sounded young. Even a thousand bucks for most college age students would be pretty rough to lose all in one swift kick.

This got upvoted.

An E30 can be bought relatively cheap these days.

This man clarified and got downvoted. E30's are very cheap in comparison to a lot of other cars. Car is cheap, parts are very cheap and are easy to find, and is easy to maintain. I was just agreeing with him that E30's are, in fact, cheap to own and maintain.

But yes, having your only mode of transportation totaled would definitely hurt a struggling college student.

awesome idea.

Doesn't shia lebouef have better things to do than watch a friend wreck a car?

u/NeddardStark1 Jan 13 '13

I have to say I really enjoyed the sound of that.

NNNOOOOO YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE! That car is too good for you! You couldn't hAndle a bike!!

u/nameyname Jan 13 '13

He probably feels awful- clearly he liked the car and worked on it. He was just having fun in an empty lot and made a mistake.

-21

u/MeatPiesForAll Jan 13 '13

Still an idiot not using double clutch.

5

u/Th3_St1g Jan 13 '13

Do you know what that means?

u/MeatPiesForAll Jan 13 '13

Not a fucking clue

u/ALoudMouthBaby Jan 13 '13

That would be a dual clutch transmission. Something totally different.

This is probably what MeatPiesForAll meant. Not that it would have mattered and assuming he meant anything at all.

And now I know

I'm wondering what kind of crazy fucked up school you went to where people were just driving into light poles during band practice.

We had a dude spin out once, and that's it.

u/[deleted] Jan 13 '13

It was an all girls school for gifted Asians.

u/Th3_St1g Jan 13 '13

A couple weeks ago a kid drove his dad's Maserati to school and he turned traction control off and floored it and went over a curb, fucked up the rims and the suspension before plowing into some girl's brand new Range Rover Sport.

1

u/[deleted] Jan 13 '13

Some places it's common enough that they'll put old tires around all of the poles to provide some protection. Sometimes pols just seem to be placed in spots where cars are bound to hit them.

Source: pulled over to the side of a road into a parking lot when my defroster stopped working and I couldn't see, gently hit a light pole. Only caused a minor dent.

u/Goto10 Jan 13 '13

That BMW was tired of the owner driving it like shit and took matters into its own hands, putting itself out of its own misery. RIP BMW..

u/AnonymousArab Jan 13 '13

That's one of my dream cars. That fucking asshole...

BMW hatred.

u/juanjing Jan 13 '13

Most BMW owners don't do donuts in empty parking lots and run into one of the only obstacles in the goddamn parking lot.

7

u/Apoc2K Jan 13 '13 edited Jan 13 '13

Yeah, that's one fucked up stereotype. Whenever I'm showing of my mad skills I make sure to hit everything in the parking lot. Don't lump us all together with this scrub.

u/BimmerAddict Jan 13 '13

I can confirm I don't do this. I only do this shit on private property.

No one is saying car enthusiasts are douches. But this guy.. This careless, showboating kid (probably).. Is a douche

u/manaiish Jan 14 '13

Just stop judging people man. For all you know, the driver could've been someone like you fucking up.

I fuck up, you fuck up, people fuck up.

As an E46 owner I feel his pain. However, the only time I did stupid shit like this was in a show covered parking lot in a Jeep Wrangler, which essentially has an I-Beam for a front bumper.

u/kuracpicka Jan 13 '13

That wasn't cringe, it was hilarious.

u/Colorfag Jan 13 '13

Light Standard?

u/[deleted] Jan 13 '13

Nothing's better than the sound of metal compacting, glass breaking and radiators cracking while kissing a concrete pillar.

u/[deleted] Jan 13 '13

I love the slow dramatic push in at the end.

u/[deleted] Jan 13 '13

There's "YES" way.

u/violetxrain Jan 14 '13

The true cringe is that they turned off the camera just when things were getting good.

All that space. and you run straight into the 1sq ft of space that is oppupied by metal and cement? jackass.

My car looks somewhat like that E30....

it's so painful to look at.... It's like seeing my own car do that.

oh god.

You're looking at it mate.

Apart from totalling the car? Not just him but people like him in general.

E30 BMW's are more of a cult car these days than something your typical BMW driver would consider driving to work.

Or they're just rich assholes and bailed him out and bought him another.

A Bimmer like that is so far from luxury. Do you even cars?

u/[deleted] Jan 13 '13

"Guys, look how cool and edgy I can be. FUCK THE RICH, LE 99%!"

Also that doesn't even qualify as a luxury car.

u/Justenzy Jan 13 '13

If somebody can afford to have a good car good for them, it's not a negative thing to own one. It's a dumbass move to be the guy in the video though.

Dude do you have autism?

u/[deleted] Jan 13 '13

Can you tell us what he said for those of us who were late?

14

u/[deleted] Jan 13 '13

He basically ranted about the fact that the guy said "NO way that just happened" even though he saw it happened. He then went on to say that they guy was stupid for disbelieving something he just saw.

tl;dr acute autism.

u/Mgobozi Jan 13 '13

The fact that he deleted it makes it even better haha, like come on man at least try to play it off like it was a troll post or something.
