A hill to die on.

A Playstation 1 horror game. One of the most iconic horror games, despite it not aging particularly well.

That's about the best use of a MBA-death-spiral-era Buick I can think of. It's kinda cool.

From the context we know, it looks like the cop is definitely the issue here. It's only for a minute before they pulled the PIT manuevr, not to mention the car is already slowing down.

This brings up an interesting point: why don't police cars in North America have a loud speaker installed? The sirens are already pretty loud so having a loud speaker wouldn't add much to the noise issue. My old man told me that in Japan, the police cars have loud speakers that yell out your license plate so you know if you are the exact car that's being pulled over. It could also be used to communicate things like that, like tell them to pull over IMMEDIATELY no matter what or we will do a PIT maneuver.

I guess it's good that I can use a radar detector around here and I don't drive something with a high centre of mass...

That was totally negligent.
At worst he could've stayed behind her and wait for backup to box her in.

Especially considering that the PIT maneuver is reserved as a last resort, and the car that's being hit can hit other cars or pedestrians. Definitely not helping with the police force's reputation, either.

I wonder what % of north American drivers actually know their plate #? Judging from the number of people I see running back to take a picture of the plate to pay for parking, I'd say it's pretty low.

Or just the colour and make of the car with the license plate. Should narrow the car down without too much work for the officer.

TeamRX8 06-22-2021 02:04 PM

they’d likely be too self-absorbed to even notice a loud speaker blaring in their ear …

or deaf from blowing their ears out with their “look at me and see how cool I am” earthquake-thumper sound system

Haha holy shit. I wonder if it was just an anti theft lug and she didn't have the key.

strokercharged95gt 08-23-2021 01:51 PM

I guess she never heard of pounding a 3/4 inch 12 point socket onto the theft lug and spinning it off.

The drug dealer's dream ride

TeamRX8 09-22-2021 01:28 AM

when I was a teen driver, had a Datsun 510 station wagon that I went around a corner a bit too fast in and forgot there was a 5 gallon bucket back there with some paint still in it. Fortunately it wasn’t full, but the top popped off when it fell over and though not as bad as this one looks, it still pains me to this day to think about it, lol. 😂

It's also not a bad way to do a complete cooling system flush.

Though I am assuming the water gets heated and makes it into the pool, and you probably don't want to play around with coolant...
