What gets me is how she keeps turning the wheel to try and course correct while the "truck" is fucking airborne off of an overpass.

Saw a 'Top Gear' interview with a race driver.

They had a clip of him airborne.

"Yeah, I was slamming on the brake there."

And yes, if I lose my keys I'll check the same coat pocket five times...

Not sure about real racecars but with RC trucks it makes a huge difference if you brake or speed up in the air. It makes the "nose" go up or down.

Motorcycles doing the big jumps in motocross use the gas and brake to pitch up and down too.

The ratio of mass and rotation speed to total mass is high enough for it to make a difference.

Yeah! Recently, a pro racer nosed-over too much off a jump but had the presence of mind to upshift three times while WFO to save a crash. Insane.

Wide Fucking Open, referring to the throttle.

Heavily depends on the racecar. High downforce will overpower the effect, but low downforce vehicles with AWD or 4WD will absolutely have an effect—especially vehicles with heavier wheels and tire combos.

It's evident in rally racing and Baja/Dakar and you can often see the effect in action, in the clips of jumps, when comparing different vehicles flying dynamics.

Where is this? Can I go there? What does it cost? How much time do you get? Can I hit as many people as I want? Can I hear them scream? Do they feel actual pain? Can someone just let me borrow their truck for the day?

Man I’ve been saving for a Snowrunner setup and this is literally PERFECT. I would spend all the money for this setup

Yes no and no

…. Is nobody going to comment on how the driver is abso-fucking-lutely AIMING for the motorcyclists? Am I literally the only one seeing this?

I'm too distracted by the fact that the gear shifter appears to be a Dildo having its Quinceañera

They’re showing why lane splitting should be legal for tractor trailers if it’s legal for donorcyclists.

Is nobody going to comment on her lack of shoes? That's the whole reason she flipped off the overpass.

Why are you posting it under their "litterbox" version that will die in at most 3 days?

This is just spreading link rot.

For real. The litterbox links NEVER work for me when I go to click on them.

That's interesting wonder if it's a network or geoblock issue. I'll try to use normal catbox links in the future then.

Main reason why was because it's a free service that I didn't want to fill with shitposting data that'll fade off the front page in about a day lol.

From the main catbox page:

Files that were anonymously uploaded and have not been accessed in over 2 years will be removed. Read the blog post here for more info.

They already clean up automatically if no one accesses them.

I like that she's steering while tumbling through the door and was hoping she'd land it clean

Shit had me crying laughing. My friend married a Vietnamese woman while he was living there, and has been teaching her to drive in the states using his fancy car and been white knuckled

Where do I get this kind of setup for MY truck sim game?

It's been a while since I played it last, but this doesn't look like Euro Truck Simulator 2. I don't remember motorcyclists in the game. Or am I wrong? What game is this?

Nope, just a driving joke

Doesn't matter who's at the wheel. But it looks kinda cute
