Not sure that was staged. The one guy appears to get knocked unconscious after his head hits the wall - he goes completely limp. I know I would have at least flinched when being hit and sprayed in the face by that thing. It's been a while since I've used one of those, so I can't say for sure. But, I would assume that was from a car wash security cam and not a home video.

I figure if he hit his head hard enough to get knocked out, he would be down for a while. Notice his buddy didn't stop to help him and once "coming to" he's right there having fun again. It also seems as if a security camera would be mounted higher up looking down on the car wash, not at bumper level.

I'm still calling fake on this one.

Staged. The handle has to be squeezed to get high pressure. Let go and it goes to low pressure and only squirts a couple feet.

I'd say it's at least plausible. I don't think his buddy knew that he was out. You know how many NHL players I've seen get KTFO (my favorite being Scott Stevens on Eric Lindros)? It only takes a few seconds to come back.

Observe...


Plus some bonus Stevens hits...


Again, I haven't used one of those in years. Perhaps that one has a mechanism not unlike a gas pump where the handle is still squeezed.

I'm mostly responding to throw in those vids (but mostly the Lindros vid); but this is the internets, so .

I think it has a type R badge because it has a B series or H series engine out of a Type R Honda/Acura.

Just a guess, but un-needed.

I personally wouldn't advertise Honda or Type-R on a Lotus. "That's the most expensive rice I've ever seen! That's a bad arse body kit you have on that delslow!" It might be a nice upgrade to anyone who doesn't appreciate the upgrade, its pretty degrading to the Lotus name.

advertising that you have a K series in something is a good way to get it stolen

LOL, ok, I epic failed at that, and knew it as I was doing it.

Help with my other epic fail then, please? I use I/Explorer (okay, here come the hits on that) to browse LT and not all the pictures show up or vids will play. I tried Firefox at the suggestion of the mods, but it didn't work either. I want to continue using I/E, so what do I still need to do to view all the stuff?

Thx

Now that is funny! I would like to say that I did that on purpose, but I didn't, I was just careless. Doesn't mean I won't go fix it though! If I would have known it was you Jacob, I would have sent you a PM - my apologies. See, that is what I get.
