    You dont know pressure until youve broken down on a steep hill in the middle of the intersection which is half blocked off because of road work with a pissed off trucker behind you, in the middle of spring traffic (so many french canadians....*shudders*)

    It might be a Holden design, but in America it's a Pontiac. Sold as a Pontiac, registered as a Pontiac, regarded as a Pontiac by pretty much every American who doesn't go to car forums on the internet. The specimen in that particular photo is a Pontiac.

    The all new 1990 Chevrolet Caprice #1 choice of Gangbangers, Old people & Snipers.

    (imported from here)

    - - - Updated - - -

    Its also Australian built, plus the platform on that model is an Opel design.

    Pure Americana right there.

    Well. Paid for 48 hour shipping on those car brake pads. Yet they still havent been despatched, infact, its still marked as processing 3 days after ordering. I realise they likely wont work sundays at all and reduced staff *if any* on saturday. But its not hard to despatch a set of brake pads on the friday, considering I ordered on thursday afternoon.

    Holy shit
    wouldn't be surprised if that was a fatality, or more of them.

    Prime example of why SUV's should not exist.

    They should stop making SUVs & just go back to the days of either station wagon or 4x4

    I have been thinking about this for awhile, but does anyone else think that cars in BeamNG look cooler without hubcaps? If that doesn't make them cooler, it at least makes you feel a bit better about smashing them to bits.;)

    gotta love the SUV hate comments.

    CRV is by far more of a sedan than anything. Plus, it was the idiot driving it that clearly did not know the limits of such a car, hence why he had snap oversteer then rolled.

    This is a prime example of why bad drivers should not exist.

    Fatality? Driver is probably concussive with the roll throwing his body mass towards the center of his vehicle and losing momentum with their second skid. Plus civilian vehicles holding extensive safety counter measures.

    SUV's should not exist within racing anything besides other SUV's. I want an SUV in the desert, if you ask me, which you did not.
    I find the rescue mission of those eight odd people rushing to the scene a bit wacky. It is a hot track, individually I have bipedal'ed over a rally course before I wont lie, though I have extreme doubts that more than two of the crowd had any training with accident handling beyond civilian level.
    Is everybody a trained paramedic?

    SUVs are really just minivans in disguise. Buy a 4x4 if you want a big vehicle to handle rough terrain, buy a station wagon or minivan if you want to haul kids. I am so sick of seeing SUVs everywhere, you look back at the 70s & there wasn't an SUV is sight & that's how it should remain.

    But... I like SUV's.

    Especially the really crazy ones the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT 8 and the BMW X5 M.
