14-year-old goes GTA all over Syracuse; man in big truck says, "NO!" - Polidicks

Glad to see the trucker was using restraint with his speed. Collisions with lifted trucks can get nasty as they tend to go right over cars' protective structure.

[QUOTE=DaCommie1;44975270]My mom got rear-ended while driving a Ford Windstar minivan (built on the chassis of an F-150) by a Mazda 3 going 60km/h. The minivan needed some bodywork and was in the shop for a week, but she was still able to pick me up at camp right after the accident. The Mazda was a total write-off. Trucks are rather hard to wreck.[/QUOTE] Uh, the Windstar was never built on the chassis of an F-150. It was built on the old D186 platform, sharing its underpinnings with such powerhouses as the Taurus and the Sable. Your Windstar was fine because it was a low-speed crash and getting rear-ended is one of the most survivable(for the car) ways to get hit. It's almost always the case that the vehicle getting rear-ended is salvagable while the vehicle doing the hitting is a wreck. My brother rear-ended two vehicles in two different vehicles and both times the ones he was driving were far worse off. That's just how it works.

[QUOTE=Cizain't;44974959]A grandpa with a Veloster?[/QUOTE] Not any more. [editline]2nd June 2014[/editline] [QUOTE=_Kent_;44974961]That truck isn't even scratched, now that's impressive.[/QUOTE] Lifted truck with primarily plastic bodywork, also, the truck has front tow hooks, meaning theres a very strong piece of metal that is bolted very securely to the frame almost immediately behind the bumper that goes all the way across, probably sending all the force of the collision though the frame, and bending the bumper a little. I bet the frame is a bit damaged, but nothing as major to require a teardown.

If you can dodge a dodge, you can dodge a ball.

Back when I went to vegas with my family we were in a similar truck to the one in the video just not lifted and we got rear ended by a prius. There was a slight nudge, like we hit a bump and we look behind and there prius is just MANGLED, couldnt tell what it was on the front. We had a hitch in so there was no damage at all to our truck, exchanged insurance info and continued as if nothing happened. These trucks really are built like absolute tanks.

Isn't a car that doesn't budge during a crash actually [i]more[/i] dangerous? I mean, this is why cars have crumplezones, right? To absorb the impact? Otherwise all that energy is going straight to the driver/passengers.

Looks like the kid failed to dodge that ram.

[QUOTE=Impact1986;44975787]What if an american truck hits another american truck?[/QUOTE] Assuming they're both traveling at 124.3 miles per-hour, then somewhere amidst the wreckage you'll likely find the Higgs Boson.

[quote]and he did not want the car to hit all of the children, or any of the children, okay maybe he wanted the car to hit Billy because Billy is an asshole[/quote]

Billy pushed me in the mud once.

Ah, so this is why the americas buy huge trucks, to stop tiny baby cars.

Good luck to him with the insurance after he intentionally rammed someone. Not that the truck is damaged badly anyway.

Oh that's cool I love next to Syracuse. I love that the truck owner took little to no damage.

looks like this juvenile's career in crime... just got parked

At the speed he was going he could have dismembered multiple kids at once.

If anything, I feel sorry for the kids Grandparents. Having their car totalled and all.

I wonder though, had that truck not stopped him, what would have really happened?
