This guy is a major tool.
God, he's totally right though. Funny.
So nice I watched it twice.
I still don't understand why people don't realize why the goddamn neutral gear is on EVERY car, automatic or not. If you go out of control you put it in neutral so you still have ABS and power steering. How do people not know this and still have licenses?

He's being investigated so I hope that they find out that he's full of BS.
Funny, I said the same things and one of you (on fp) cunts tried to correct me. Probably hasn't even driven a car. I have 3..... cunt

[QUOTE=Stunted;20788697]God, he's totally right though. Funny.[/QUOTE] Not really. He's over-exaggerating IMO.
[QUOTE=Lankist;20789379]dude you are pissy[/QUOTE] Sorry man, I just don't like being corrected when I know I know more than that person about the topic, and I know I am right. My bad peops
TAKE THE FUCKING BUS! I love this guy.
[QUOTE=Soldier32;20789446]Not really. He's over-exaggerating IMO.[/QUOTE] No he isn't. Neutral exists for a reason, this reason.
Why is he wearing a mask inside of a car?

He reminds me of this: [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pTUtETu09oQ[/url]
This video is so true. "Oh no! My car is accelerating out of control! Let's not do jack shit about it and blame it completely on the car!" It's a PRIUS for fuck's sake. It does not hit 60mph in 3 seconds. It does not go 200mph. If your accelerator is "out of control", YOU HAVE PLENTY OF TIME TO REACT. Slam on the breaks, shut off the engine, put it to neutral, ANYTHING. It has already been proven that in the Prius, if you were to slam on the breaks, the engine would stall and shut down automatically. This should be the automatic reflex of any person with a driver's license. It's like seeing a school child running across the street unexpectedly. What would be your reaction as a driver? SLAM THE FUCKING BREAKS. Same with the "out of control" accelerator. You're about to crash into a wall? SLAM THE FUCKING BREAKS! Some people are just plain stupid.

Also, turning the car off and taking the key out locks the tires and steering, which would be bad at high speeds.

[QUOTE=Agent766;20789226]One guy claimed that he couldn't put it into neutral or anything.

[QUOTE=shill le 2nd;20790880]If you're talking about the same guy I am, he claimed that he didn't want to put it in neutral because he was afraid that would blow out the engine.[/QUOTE] Oh wow, obviously doesn't know what neutral [I]is.[/I]
Or he's a fraudster.
[QUOTE=shill le 2nd;20790880]If you're talking about the same guy I am, he claimed that he didn't want to put it in neutral because he was afraid that would blow out the engine.[/QUOTE] Because potentially killing yourself or someone else is the better way out.
[QUOTE=FreakyMe;20790628]It is believed the brakes were not functioning in those incidents they went out of control though.[/QUOTE] Which is bullshit because the problem just had to do with the floor mat catching the gas pedal. [QUOTE=FreakyMe;20790628] Also, turning the car off and taking the key out locks the tires and steering, which would be bad at high speeds.[/QUOTE] It's push button. You just hold it in (like he did).

This guy is my new youtube hero!
Hey...complaining is our British thing...
[QUOTE=shill le 2nd;20790880]If you're talking about the same guy I am, he claimed that he didn't want to put it in neutral because he was afraid that would blow out the engine.[/QUOTE] Actually, he said that he was afraid it would "flip the car". Because everybody knows that neutral deploys a giant metal spike out of the left-front corner of the car that gouges into the road and causes the car to flip over.
