Tank Driving BadAss of the Day:
Tank drives over suicide bomber's car before deadly blast

 

[Infamous1]

Wonder what he saw that clued him in?
That was badass though.

"Ford pinto explodes after mulitious tank crushed fuel cell"

 

[rodney eppes]

When you drive down the wrong side of the road, maybe at high speed, straight up to a TANK, That's a pretty good sign! Several questions come to mind though. Why didn't the tank just Sit on him? Why when he turned around, did he not run over him again? Why did the tank not BLAST the car?
The delayed explosion was just as odd as the smoke & dust seemingly coming from the field beside the car. But, it seemed the car ended up in a ball of flames on the opposite side of the road. So I'm guessing the explosion escaped out the side of the car, propelling it across the road, & the side explosion created all the dust & smoke across the field.

Tank driver probably assumed there were explosives in the car and wanted to get the hell 10x10 away once the threat was imobilized.
You saw the size of the explosion, if he'd stayed on it after crushing he would have been toast.

Kaboom! Russian Drone With Thermite Grenade Blows Up a Billion Dollars of Ukranian Ammo

Too bad they don't have English captions to read on that one.

I present you Gary Plouche.
Some of you older members may remember this, but I just read about it the other day.

A father's justice

Jody Plauche's dad always said if anyone messed with his kid, he'd kill them. When the unthinkable happened, he kept his promise.

In today's world he'd be locked away for ever.

 

[Tacoma747]

Dang potholes worse than i10 going through Louisiana.

 

[jeepinmatt]

Yep, and the other guy heralded as a "trans-age martyr" or some bullshit.

The good ol days really were gooder. You could call from a random payphone number and people would actually answer, carry your pistol to the airport, kill a child molester, and then go back about your business.

I remember that when I was a kid.

If NASCAR was always this entertaining, I'd watch a few laps

 

[Wes]

I saw the highlights. All of the other drivers were butt hurt about it.

That's how I do it in the video games

He said he first tried it when he was 8 years old, playing video games!

It will inevitably lead to some new stupid rule which will screw up the results of future races.

 

[justjeepin86]

I watched the last 20 laps of that race. It was pretty insane seeing how fast he came around the track on rails. I was like, where TF did he come from

It reminded me of Days of Thunder.

The crazy thing is that most of the ones complaining about it have tried it before, and it didnt work. I think he got lucky, in part, and Martinsville is likely the only track where it would work. They loose so much speed going through the corner.

The best part is that he set a new track record for lap time and speed also. 2nd was that he knocked Denny out of the championship.

 

[Tacoma747]

I don't watch Nascar at all, but dang I'd just about start watching it if stuff like that happened more often. That was an awesome and bold move. I bet they throw some rules out next year that discourages it (which for safety sake they probably should).

We can't nuthin.....but the have to ban it or erbody will try it.

 

[doc]

Hell, even Denny said he respected the move...

 

[UTfball68]

That's how I do it in the video games

That was my first thought too...exactly how I raced in NASCAR '98 for PS1.

Nobody was stopping them from doing it. Fawking morons.

 

[StretchASU]

Why stop them from pulling that move? I’m sure every team owner would sacrifice a few parts for a shot a championship. If they want to roll the dice on it then boys have at it. I’d rather see a move like that than someone intentionally dumping the guy in front of him.
