OMFG!

ArthurS · 2004-02-19, 04:09 PM

Yea. I took these today, so most of the skid marks and grass marks are gone. Mike must have someone that likes him up there, because he barely missed the tree and fire hydrant. :shock:

Dean · 2004-02-19, 04:12 PM

We need Pictures of Matt's now...

I can't beleive Mike missed the fire hydrant and the tree... I always wondered if that looks the same in real life when you hit a fire hydrant as it does in the movies.

JoelK · 2004-02-19, 04:19 PM

Are you guys driving on summer tires in the winter?

That's a lot of creative driving.

Actually I was. I was on the Kuhmo's the first day it snowed. Came into that corner at normal speed, turned the wheel, but the car went straight. BAM.

MikeSTI · 2004-02-19, 04:24 PM

I'm on winter tires and the pointer Art used is bad becuase I was in the left lane

Got all kind of grip once I was in the grass

A fire hydrant does shoot in the air if you break it how far is of course how much pressure the water is under so it could shoot 100' in the air or 10' but it will flow the same amount of water either way thats why fire trucks have pump so if theres not enough pressure they got some in the truck

MikeSTI · 2004-02-19, 04:29 PM

Scott you or someone with photo chop need to add some snow donkeys into the pics

I started working on it as soon as Art posted, but real work slowed me down.

ArthurS · 2004-02-19, 04:41 PM

I've seen around 80-100psi on fire mains... when it's pushing a 6-8" diameter column of water that's a fucking lot of force.

most city mains in Sactown only carry 50psi if your lucky :?

AtomicLabMonkey · 2004-02-19, 05:11 PM

Well, we are a bit of a special case...

the lab has its own separate water supply gravity fed from hills above us, so pressure is guaranteed.

MikeSTI · 2004-02-27, 01:46 PM

This would definatly get me to slow down

STIwish · 2004-02-27, 03:28 PM

I was just thinking about Matt's sig...

"...look out for the snow donkeys..."

Isn't looking at them what gets you in trouble?

Shouldn't it be DON'T look at the snow donkeys?
