I got T-boned by a GTO when I was 19, and I still remember thinking right before it hit me,
"OH SH*T!!"
I thought I was dead.

 

Had it not been for that sewege drain, I'm pretty sure he would be in a lot of **** that a wrecked car. Thatroad is pretty high up there.

 

Very common for drivers without track or skid pad experience. Or even experienced drivers who hit oil/ice or cut a tire or just lose concentration. That's why the crash barriers on the inside of a turn are as robust as on the outside. And why all the skid marks go toward the inside.

 

 

I hope that Lambo had a snorkel.

 

I've seen the video of the Gallardo driving through flood. I think it'll be fine. The air intakes are pretty high up.

 

Yeah except everything else under water is not designed to be under water. I saw that Lambo video and I hope the drive train failed a day later from filling up with water thru the breathers.

 

You mean the transmission? Aren't they like sealed? Although the water level was too high for that car, I still think it'll be fine. I've driven through a similar flood in my Mazda 3. It wasn't THAT high, but higher than what most people would be comfortable with. Me being dumb, floored it to get out of the water quickly, and water went right over the hood, just like in that video haha. Unlike the guy in the Lambo, I slowed down immediately. Car was fine though.

 

Well I offroad and I know even Jeeps and other rigs have to be modfied a bit to withstand fording water. The differentials and trans have breathers on them and on cars they are not designed to be submerged. Even Jeeps and other 4 wheel drive vehicles have to have the breather hoses extended if they are going to go too deep.

 

i hate seeing bad things happen to nice cars but if i had a lambo it sure as hell wouldnt be out in that weather

 

I'm sure all the wet Italian electronics will dry out and operate FINE

 

Oh ok. I didn't know about that 9k. And yeah the electronics are gonna be an issue. Besides, a Lambo is much more unreliable than a Mazda.

 

Remember to extended your breather hoses when you're going in too deep, guys.

 

 

^At least the road got a nice new paint job

 

That truck can add "roll over" to it's list of tricks.

front fell off yo

 

VTEC kicked in yo. 2 muc powerz!

 

 

Now that really really really sucks!

 

Those breather hoses or vents on all cases (differential, transmission, air intake, etc.) - gets people every time. Car may be OK through the water then it stops working months later. Even motorcycles (Honda ST1100 shaft drive) has a breather on the differential case that cannot be submerged. I replace the 80w90 GL5 oil on the case at every oil change.
