Random Internet Findings
 
this thread is for everyone to post random things they find on the internet, obviously they must be appropriate, and please no more than 3 pictures per post preferably with a blurb about what it is, again this is whatever you find on the internet, and nothing like gross roadkill as i have a weak stomach-and its disgusting, i guess i'll start

first is a 'tornado proof car'- built to film tornado's from the inside and withstand flying debris

Too lazy to get a picture now, but thought I'd just say that Lamborghini is all sharpied. It's done by someone in California I believe. I saw it on a episode of "SuperCars Exposed" And the Tornado proof car is based on a F350 or something like that and weighs like 15,000 lbs.

actually i think it's a diesel F450 Super duty. it's names TIV(Tornado Intercept Vehicle) and its owned by IMAX film maker Shawn Casey. For several years he's bee trying to get a shot from inside a tornado to finish his tornado documentary. He teamed up with Dr. Josh Wurman. Dr. Wurman has a mobile dopplar station (DOW, Dopplar On Wheels) and he has weather instuments on top of the TIV and a team of truck with probes. Josh is on DOW 10, Shawn recently made a second TIV creatively named TIV2 thats based off the Ram 3500( http://img233.imageshack.us/img233/9108/tiv2zi1.png ), which is so problem ridden, on its maiden season, it boke down so much that they got a guy to drive it back to CA, and grab the original TIV. they have a shw on Discovery channel. It's called Storm Chasers. The show also follows some adrenaline junky who was one of Josh's former student who gets some AWSOME shots of twisters.

^I'm a Storm Chasers nerd! I have't missed one yet!

Love the BMW one...

The waterbomber one in the first post is clearly fake, because the water bomber and its trail and the bridge are two separate pixelations...

Apperently the guy who hit the deer was around the age of 70 or something and hit the deer 40 miles ago without noticing it untill his car started to run a little hot and pulled into a parking lot to check out what that was. :roll_eye:

Your exatly right. Hes like 75 and he hit a deer and about 50 miles later some one forced him to stop. That and his car was starting to over heat. I posted a thread on this along time ago. Ill try and find it......here it is.

I've ran over a cat once, in the CST/10. Even in a 4500 lbs pick up, you notice when you hit a body. Imagine hitting a 6-inch speed bump at 45. You feel it. So did my rear axle, which probably hopped off the ground. Same goes to those who claim they didn't feel it when they ran over a person.
