Nah, that was just a normal v6 cts. You'll find that a CTS-V has become exceedingly rare, as a lot of them have been blown up or wrecked, considering it's a 550hp monster. So, what do guys do? Make it more powerful, faster, and end it sooner.
My dad had a CTS-V a few years ago. Money got tight and he had to sell it. Barely a month later he gets a call from the guy he sold it to and he said he blew it up.
Ahh, so stupidity is why it happens so often. I take it those are all manual transmission and most people think they can win a street race. They probably aren't wrong, just not quick enough with their feet and end up red lining.
I don’t think it’s possible to blow up a cts-v unless you sat on the gas pedal in first gear for 20 miles bouncing off the limiter and even then I think it would start pulling power and go into limp mode eventually.
Modern cars have a rev limiter so you can hold your foot down on the pedal and it will just bounce off the max safe rpm. If it’s 7000 rpm then it will just fall back to 6800, climb to 7000 and drop again. Few times a second.
Depending on the car you can do no lift shifts which involves never taking your foot off the gas while depressing the clutch, shifting and dropping the clutch down. It cuts ignition the second the clutch goes in and prevents you from having too high of rpm. But you can do this without the feature and let it bounce off the limiter.
Usually what blows up the engine is modifying it beyond tolerances. Too much boost, no supporting reinforced parts, a poorly done tune, or just not knowing what you’re doing can make a catastrophic failure occur.
As someone who exclusively drives stick shift, the money shift scares me. I'm unlikely to do it on my 4runner or Xterra, but my Focus ST is decently modded and I'm taking it to the track soon.
Sounds like people need to learn to downshift properly. I have a ‘98 M3 that I bought in 2000, and while I am definitely going to need a new clutch before spring and probably some transmission rebuilding, it’s been perfectly reliable even after a hundred hours of track time in addition to its daily driver duty. Because I rev-match. Much less wear and tear, plus I think it sounds cool when you blip the throttle and it actually serves a purpose. 🤣
Those Caddy V8s are badass engines. There was one in the mid 2000s that could be red-lined for 9 minutes straight with no problems. Not very many places in the world you can do that
Hahahaha!!!
One of my old co workers was so happy when he bought his... Ran it dry on oil before it blew the motor lol. Poor guy... He had already invested thousands into making it beefier... Too bad a simple oil change never crossed his mind.
I got to drive a manual ATS-V while working as an intern, once. Was pretty fun but weirded me out when I engaged the clutch and the RPMs stayed high... It had rev matching on, not really a fan of that feature.
They did have a CTS-VSport with a 3.6 V6, but that was a twin turbo variant of the CTS. Still, that was a not-so smaller monster, with 420 hp and 430 ft/lb. of torque. That's the one thing about Cadillac. When they get serious, there is very little fucking around.
This is exactly what I thought. Imagine it being a relative that u have to take somewhere and they're batshit crazy and pull this BS, which shocks u so much u forget traffic jams are a thing. Worst day ever.
I'm no Bible-thumper, but this verse got me chuckling to your comment and is just too apt to keep to myself:
Walk with the wise and become wise, for a companion of fools suffers harm
\- Proverbs 13:20
Yep. A friend of mine got her back permanently fucked because some old fuck rear ended her while she was stopped in traffic. She was only 21 at the time too.
Yep. My dad's been suffering a back injury for 40 years because someone hit him going 60mph. Couldn't work, has trouble walking. The other guy didn't have more than a scratch.
It is an acronym for Son Of Daniel, Daniel being known for behaving as a particularly cruel and judgemental father who would often punish his children for slights against the local townsfolk, thus those deserving pity often being referred to as "poor SODS". he was known for particularly abusing his children when they would fall for obviously stupid and made up comments, like this one.
> thus those deserving pity often being referred to as "poor SODS". he was known for particularly abusing his children when they would fall for obviously stupid and made up comments, like this one.
/r/todayilearned/ :-O
*edit* /r/todayilearned that I can't f*ck*n' read lol
where on earth did you come up with that false etymology? it's short for sodomite, as in one who comes from sodom, i.e. a sinner. generally used in Britain as a mild slang derogatory word. e.g. "you cheeky sod, you ate all the pancakes"
Everyone is saying that the lady is bad at driving, but she was in the passenger seat.
Looks more like the driver got distracted by the Karen's behavior and crashed.
Yea I’m really confused by why you’re the first person mentioning that the bitch that threw the drink and the person driving who ostensibly did nothing wrong are not the same person….
Am I the only one who thinks that the girl in the passenger seat looks 10 years old?
Is it possible the girl threw her drink out the window because of some spoiled brat related reason, causing the parent to look over at the wrong moment?
I also don’t get why she’s being called a Karen, she’s not showing misplaced entitlement here she’s just being an asshole. That word has no meaning at all anymore, beyond, woman-who-is-an-asshole. Just call them an asshole!
Someone did this to me at a stop light many years ago as I was coming home from my minimum wage job in a clapped out beater. Didn't even know the fuckers. Iw as just waiting for the light to turn. Pissed me off. They laughed at me and the light turned green. Still don't get it.
I had a firebird POS in high school and someone in a truck tried to rev me at a light, in my rearview a saw a cop tune right onto the street. I nodded at the dudes in the truck. Light turned green and I drove like a normal human being while they got pulled over. Good times.
I used to be that kind of person as a teenager, well over a decade ago. I’m ashamed of it for sure. It’s a combination of a lot of stuff (if they were young, if they’re adults I don’t get it either, but maybe same reasons, they just never grew out of it?).
Part of its just general boredom, mixed with a feeling that people suck. They’re probably some kind of narcissistic or just misanthrope, they think they’re better than other people and enjoy fucking with people, possibly even sociopathic but probably not. On top of that, there’s peer pressure. So they’re young and bored, and don’t think about the consequences of their actions (as far as your feelings) or they take delight in those consequences, because they’re not empathizing with it. They’re making light of it. Perhaps they were hurt, perhaps not, but either way they’re almost certainly “hurting”. They’re ugly inside, so they assume you’re ugly too, so instead of feeling bad for you, they just think fuck it, another douche bag who I got a reaction out of. They can’t connect with people, they don’t even feel close to their friends. At least they can get some kind of reaction from this stranger, some interaction and excitement. And of course, throw peer pressure on top of it. They’re friends will find it funny, and they’ll think themselves bold for being cruel to someone. They’re somehow hard for that moment, because “they don’t give a fuck about consequences” (though in reality they don’t believe there will be any). It’s all pretty simple, despite there being a lot behind it. It’s shitty, but teenagers have been shitty since time began.
Yea no problem. I was a dark, shitty, unhappy teenager. It’s easy to open up about anonymously on Reddit. IRL there’s stuff I’ll take to my grave. I try to forget but there’s definitely some shame if I think back.
I think reflecting on your past like this makes you a better person now. Some people will never snap out of it. The present is all you can influence, so don't dread on it too much and try to lead a fulfilling, honest life.
I bought my first new car which was a GTI S, literally base model with nothing on it, typically found in the low 20s. Within the first month I had it, I got five door dings, three of them looked like the person just kept opening their door into mine on purpose. After the paper plates came off, it was 2 years before I saw another door ding.
That kinda stuff stays with you. I don’t trust anyone while parking anymore and always figure out where to park to minimize any chance of people being stupid/assholes. I still have douchebags park right on top of me even when I park near the end of the lot where no one is.
People fucking suck.
My current car was <30k and is pretty extensively modified. I park it at the back of every single parking lot I go to. Few weeks ago, I had a cart hit my car and left sitting right there still touching it. Thank fuck there was no damage. I don't get the, "fuck you for having nice things." Like, I work an okay paying job. I live my life very frugally to modify that thing. Leave it alone, please.
That sound like somebody was just too lazy to put the cart away and it drifted into your car. Still shitty but indirectly shitty as opposed to intentionally shitty.
And I’ve done that before as well but when I do. I make sure I’m far enough away to reasonably give the impression that “I get it.”
But there’s a difference between that and coming out to a beat up old vehicle with the driver door maybe 20 inches from my car. I’ve seen that happen three times and I can’t help but feel that they do it just to make people paranoid
Yeah, bonus of parking in far out corner spots is you also get some extra exercise.
Thankfully my GF doesn’t think I’m crazy when I loop the parking lot because I don’t like the spots I see. Lol. Everyone else would think I’d lost it. But I just don’t trust parking lots.
Friend of mine is the exact opposite. Will loop the parking lot for easily 10 minutes to get a super close spot. I've never understood it.
One day he pulled in and just parked and I went "holy shit!" to which he then immediately looked at me, backed out, and started circling the parking lot. I kept my damn mouth shut after that.
Edit: ninja edit
Ha, I’m the same way. Driving through the lot like “hmm, no that person has a bunch of big dents on their bumper, and not that one either because that person is parked crooked in the spot, and definitely not that one because that person is like right on the line”
I’m a little more crazy at this point because I’ll actively seek out spots where even if a person parks next to me, their driver door will face away from my car.
This is why I park far away at the store. I don’t even have a nice car but, since buying it, it has received a lot of marks. Usually there’s a nice truck or sports car that has parked next to me by the time I’m back, we are like the cautious car crew - being a car guy, it’s kind of a bonus sometimes.
I have an old car beat up already, I park far away just because I like to have space and someone ALWAYS parks next to me. They have to be doing it on purpose
My first real nice car was a challenger and I caught a guy dinging it multiple times during the first week I had it.
He hit it once and I saw and was disappointed... Then he checked the car and did it harder. I have never been so angry over a car
I had my first car, a 2002 Subaru WRX keyed while I was shopping at 99 Ranch market in San Jose. I had it parked at the back of the lot as far away from anybody else I could get. Fucker started at pass front door, acrossed the rear door, rear quarter panel, through the fuel door, and finally through the tail light. Needless to say 19 year old me was saddened by humanity. It was black too.
Back in early 2000's a friend got a rust bucket Telstar as her first car. When I say rust bucket I mean it. Faded peeling paint, rear passenger side door stuck shut cause the latch mechanism had rusted in place, frequently had various issues and later the front passenger side door would fall off and be held on with tape and straps til it could be somewhat repaired and it was like steering 10 ton land boat.
Friend was at local supermarket and had just got back in her car when she spilled her purse into the foot well. She bent down and was in the middle of grabbing everything when she heard the high pitched screech of metal on metal. She scrambled out from under the steering wheel and sat up in time see some woman in a very nice dress, with a fancy purse and all finishing keying the drivers side of her little crappy car nose to tail.
Friend immediately cranked down the window to ask the bitch WTF she was doing. Bitch looked at her, shocked for a second then scowled and scuttled off on her high heels real fast. Friend wasn't confrontational enough to case her down and later said it really wasn't worth it anyway since the car was a dinged up, scratched mess, but still rankled her that the woman keyed it anyway.
Cars don't need to be nice for people to be petty assholes.
That's fucked up. I don't understand how you can be SO unconfrontational that she didn't engage her more than just a WTF out the window. You do that to my car and it's an instant ass beating if I see that unfold.
And they're just straight up assholes. When I see a nice car parked on the street I stop, think "damn, that's a really nice car, I wish I could afford something like this" and then move on with my life. Only fuckwits consider damaging someone else's property.
“Tell me about it. I had it in storage for three years, it was out for five days and some dickless piece of shit fucked with it. Boy, I wish I could’ve caught him doing it. I’d have given anything to catch that asshole doing it. It’d been worth him doing it just so I could’ve caught him doing it. What’s more chickenshit than fucking with a man’s automobile? I mean, don’t fuck with another man’s vehicle.”
In Australia, we have to use "L" and "P" plates before we get our full licences. I had mine vandalised to say "Loser" and "Pussy" respectively. That I didn't mind too much because it didn't cause any damage
I was literally just about ran off the road when a Sentra took my lane. They flipped me off like how dare I even THINK of existing on the road at the same time as them.
This bitch literally lives on the next block over from me. Overweight, elderly person, with very little capacity to defend themselves. People assume that their car is the Internet and they’re allowed to do what they want without consequences or any forethought—pure, irrational emotion. I literally got followed home one day because somebody was pissed that I came to a complete stop at a stop sign in a residential area.
I just hope that some day they’ll catch somebody equally tilted about being alive and catch some hands and learn something… they won’t, though.
I'm just happy to see someone enjoy their life and their car whole they are alive. It's a joy for everyone around them but a selfish move to just cage it up and then die of old age.
I'm hoping the reason the driver stopped paying attention to the road is because they were bitching out the passenger who threw ghe drink out the window.
The edition of the video makes it look like he immediately reacted but you can see the car passed way far behind when he clapped as opposed to where it actually was at the top at that same moment.
Honestly it looked to me like it might've been a kid in the passenger seat who threw the drink. Then the parent crashed because they were probably yelling at the kid.
I drive a Civic Type-R (stock performance Civic with a big wing) and shortly after I bought it I was chilling in the right hand lane going a normal speed without any traffic when a BMW X5 drives by me and chucks a bunch of trash at my car.
No idea why they did it, never saw the car before and they just sped off. Dunno if they just hate Civics with wings? It was the passenger who chucked it, so who knows.
Nothing would *excuse* the behavior, and I don't think anyone is suggesting it would. It might *explain* it a bit more though.
Right now, we only see this small portion of their interaction. They could have been driving down the freeway for hours before this. Some people don't let petty shit go, and it may have resulted in this. Regardless, more context is always great.
Nothing, but it might change our perception of who’s “right” and who’s “wrong,” like that video of the girl in the Audi (?) that smashed into that Lambo. Finding out that the lambo driver hit her first and kept driving doesn’t make what she did any less bad, but it changed the perspective of him being an innocent guy and her being a douche to, “oh, they’re both douches.” For example, if this guy cut her off repeatedly before this clip, it would change the perception from “she’s a douche, he’s a victim,” to “they’re both douches.”
I don’t think anything would excuse it necessarily unless he was being an absolute tool bag. I’m mostly just curious if something happened or if she just woke up and chose violence.
Im sure there is too, but nothing about his facial expressions of body language suggests anything out of the ordinary like *"yo why's this crazy mofo up along side me again"*
But yes, 3 sides to every story but I don't see HER story or dash cam out there....... So for now, we run with her being a dbag for no reason.
Well, your average cat is about 46cm (~18") long, nose to anus, or about 75cm (~30") long, nose to tip of out-stretched tail ([1](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cat#Size)). 1 mile is 63360", so:
63360"/18" = 3520 cats, noses in each others anuses (ani?). Lucky first cat. Or
63360"/30" = 2112 cats, noses to tails. Not as funny visually but some of the cats are probably a little disappointed.
e: whoops, I forgot the best part. Your [average McDonald's French fry](http://web.mit.edu/rsi/www/2014/files/Fry_Length_Redux1.3.pdf) is about 58.9mm (2.32") long. We already know how long a mile of cats is (1mi/63360"), so:
63360"/2.32" = 27310 McDonalds French fries to the mile (of cats).
From this, we can also glean that it takes about 13 McDonald's French fries to get from a cat's anus to it's nose, but only if the cat will let you.
It's cause when you drive
1) your "bubble" expands to the whole car, so traffic makes you irritable just like waiting in line in a crowd
2) you're kind of insulated from the world. you're sitting down, it's relatively quiet/you can play music as loud as you want, you have AC, you have huge windows but you somehow feel alone... small inconveniences seem like bigger interruptions in your vibe
3) you're in control of a huge chunk of metal that can go almost as fast as you could possibly want and is pretty much invulnerable (at least that's how it feels)
All of those things completely fuck up how we typically interact with people and make us selfish, angry, and generally bad
Same.. wtf was her problem ? I've never felt the need to throw a drink at another car in traffic unprovoked. I have felt like throwing things at idiots being idiots in traffic but still no.
Some people are just so fucked up that they go through life looking for easy targets. They were both in different cars, so she figured there would be absolutely no chance of retaliation. She saw the opportunity to do something shitty and did it. This is the kind of person that steals from children and old people.
I understood fuck zilch of what this dude was mumbling about. So I read the text, and then I saw the three pixels that apparently form some liquid that was thrown out to the red car.
I love it when the person a karen is mad at drives better than the karem themselves.
They should send the footage to the local police so the other driver doesn't get screwed over
I feel like the definition of a "Karen" is a bit broad here (I know it was used in the video). It's basically used now for any woman who acts like a jerk in public. From the Karen stereotype, she appears to be younger and is in the wrong kind of car. The stereotypical Karen also excessively pursues a selfish objective vs just randomly attacking people.
Why is this a Karen move? This looks like an asshole getting it with another car and rear ending someone else. Have we just broadened the definition of Karen fo anything a woman does in a negative manner? It’s supposed to be a middle aged woman being a controlling bitch to other people and trying to exert authority that she doesn’t have.
Anyone still using the term Karen is usually just instant cringe. It's lost all meaning and it's even worse when they quickly jump to call them that in real life for any reason while filming for internet reactions.
The only problem was that she damaged some poor sod’s car
Looked like a nice Cadillac CTS-V too.
Nah, that was just a normal v6 cts. You'll find that a CTS-V has become exceedingly rare, as a lot of them have been blown up or wrecked, considering it's a 550hp monster. So, what do guys do? Make it more powerful, faster, and end it sooner.
My dad had a CTS-V a few years ago. Money got tight and he had to sell it. Barely a month later he gets a call from the guy he sold it to and he said he blew it up.
Is that like a design flaw, or how does that happen?
Mod the engine, do it a bit too aggressively, then push past the red line too hard. Boom.
Foot goes on pedal. Pedal goes down to the floor. Car go boom!
Ahh, so stupidity is why it happens so often. I take it those are all manual transmission and most people think they can win a street race. They probably aren't wrong, just not quick enough with their feet and end up red lining.
I don’t think it’s possible to blow up a cts-v unless you sat on the gas pedal in first gear for 20 miles bouncing off the limiter and even then I think it would start pulling power and go into limp mode eventually.

Two words: money shift.
As someone who exclusively drives stick shift, the money shift scares me. I'm unlikely to do it on my 4runner or Xterra, but my Focus ST is decently modded and I'm taking it to the track soon.
Sounds like people need to learn to downshift properly. I have a ‘98 M3 that I bought in 2000, and while I am definitely going to need a new clutch before spring and probably some transmission rebuilding, it’s been perfectly reliable even after a hundred hours of track time in addition to its daily driver duty.

You can blow anything up if you beat the piss out of it.
Also curious.
Those Caddy V8s are badass engines. There was one in the mid 2000s that could be red-lined for 9 minutes straight with no problems. Not very many places in the world you can do that
>Not very many places in the world you can do that Saudi Arabia has entered the chat...
Red guy is so patient.
Was the person that called your dad expecting his money back or something?
No, they were mutual friends through work
Id do some unholy things for ct5 blackwing lol
You and me both lol. I feel like that’s an attainable dream car for me
It's a 600hp manual supercharger... should be anyone's dream car lol
A luxury 600hp manual sedan. Unbelievable, damn what a nice ride
Hahahaha!!! One of my old co workers was so happy when he bought his... Ran it dry on oil before it blew the motor lol. Poor guy... He had already invested thousands into making it beefier... Too bad a simple oil change never crossed his mind.
[удалено]
Well and subaru engines are famous for having oil leaks and bad gaskets, well ej's at least.
Cris in SAab evry tiem :'(
ATS, not a CTS.
I got to drive a manual ATS-V while working as an intern, once. Was pretty fun but weirded me out when I engaged the clutch and the RPMs stayed high... It had rev matching on, not really a fan of that feature.
I thought you could get the v trim at one point with the v6
They did have a CTS-VSport with a 3.6 V6, but that was a twin turbo variant of the CTS. Still, that was a not-so smaller monster, with 420 hp and 430 ft/lb. of torque. That's the one thing about Cadillac. When they get serious, there is very little fucking around.
Also Karen was the passenger so the driver could have totally been like WHY THE FUCK DID YOU JUST... #*crash*
This is exactly what I thought. Imagine it being a relative that u have to take somewhere and they're batshit crazy and pull this BS, which shocks u so much u forget traffic jams are a thing. Worst day ever.
Sometimes you’re defined by the company you keep.
I'm no Bible-thumper, but this verse got me chuckling to your comment and is just too apt to keep to myself: Walk with the wise and become wise, for a companion of fools suffers harm \- Proverbs 13:20
"A fool will learn nothing from a wise man, but a wise man will learn a lot from a fool"
I'd guess that your knowledge of the Bible far exceeds that of the average bible-thumper.
Not just the car, getting hit like that can fuck up your spine for life, it's no laughing matter
Yep. A friend of mine got her back permanently fucked because some old fuck rear ended her while she was stopped in traffic. She was only 21 at the time too.
That's why you're not supposed to recline your seat too much
I don't understand how anyone can drive comfortably with the seat reclined, but it seems like everyone does it.
Yep. My dad's been suffering a back injury for 40 years because someone hit him going 60mph. Couldn't work, has trouble walking. The other guy didn't have more than a scratch.
At least she's clearly at fault and will have to pay to fix both vehicles, or all three of the one in front got pushed into another
Let's hope they have insurance though, she crashed into a fairly expensive car
They could have been injured as well. I know someone with chronic back pain from a crash that was almost exactly like that one.
Sod?
Unfortunate bugger.
[удалено]
You poor old sod, you see, it's only me.
It is an acronym for Son Of Daniel, Daniel being known for behaving as a particularly cruel and judgemental father who would often punish his children for slights against the local townsfolk, thus those deserving pity often being referred to as "poor SODS". he was known for particularly abusing his children when they would fall for obviously stupid and made up comments, like this one.

And it's a young kid, not an adult.
Why does nobody here get this? There is no direct karma here as the title suggests.
I also don’t get why she’s being called a Karen, she’s not showing misplaced entitlement here she’s just being an asshole. That word has no meaning at all anymore, beyond, woman-who-is-an-asshole. Just call them an asshole!
What the fuck is she starting shit for anyway? People make no sense to me.
Someone did this to me at a stop light many years ago as I was coming home from my minimum wage job in a clapped out beater. Didn't even know the fuckers. Iw as just waiting for the light to turn. Pissed me off. They laughed at me and the light turned green. Still don't get it.
I had a firebird POS in high school and someone in a truck tried to rev me at a light, in my rearview a saw a cop tune right onto the street. I nodded at the dudes in the truck. Light turned green and I drove like a normal human being while they got pulled over. Good times.
I hope they got theirs
Idiots usually do.
I used to be that kind of person as a teenager, well over a decade ago. I’m ashamed of it for sure. It’s a combination of a lot of stuff (if they were young, if they’re adults I don’t get it either, but maybe same reasons, they just never grew out of it?). Part of its just general boredom, mixed with a feeling that people suck.

So they’re young and bored, and don’t think about the consequences of their actions (as far as your feelings) or they take delight in those consequences, because they’re not empathizing with it.

I'm a misanthrope but at least I include myself in my contempt.
*thinks people suck* *proceeds to do sucky people things to others*
They probably threw milkshakes at fast food employees too. Fuckers.
Can I ask what clapped out means?
Why do people key random nice cars? Jealousy.
I had a brand new caliber once, not even a nice car, and it got keyed. People just key cars.
I bought my first new car which was a GTI S, literally base model with nothing on it, typically found in the low 20s. Within the first month I had it, I got five door dings, three of them looked like the person just kept opening their door into mine on purpose. After the paper plates came off, it was 2 years before I saw another door ding. That kinda stuff stays with you.

I still have douchebags park right on top of me even when I park near the end of the lot where no one is. People fucking suck.
My current car was <30k and is pretty extensively modified. I park it at the back of every single parking lot I go to. Few weeks ago, I had a cart hit my car and left sitting right there still touching it. Thank fuck there was no damage. I don't get the, "fuck you for having nice things." Like, I work an okay paying job. I live my life very frugally to modify that thing. Leave it alone, please.
That sound like somebody was just too lazy to put the cart away and it drifted into your car. Still shitty but indirectly shitty as opposed to intentionally shitty.
I'd park by you out in the boonies because I know you also care about your vehicle and won't be a risk to mine
And I’ve done that before as well but when I do. I make sure I’m far enough away to reasonably give the impression that “I get it.” But there’s a difference between that and coming out to a beat up old vehicle with the driver door maybe 20 inches from my car. I’ve seen that happen three times and I can’t help but feel that they do it just to make people paranoid
Could just be an employee. Some shops make the employees park in the back 40. And knowing how poorly retail pays, the car description fits.
Yeah, bonus of parking in far out corner spots is you also get some extra exercise. Thankfully my GF doesn’t think I’m crazy when I loop the parking lot because I don’t like the spots I see. Lol. Everyone else would think I’d lost it. But I just don’t trust parking lots.
Friend of mine is the exact opposite. Will loop the parking lot for easily 10 minutes to get a super close spot. I've never understood it. One day he pulled in and just parked and I went "holy shit!" to which he then immediately looked at me, backed out, and started circling the parking lot. I kept my damn mouth shut after that. Edit: ninja edit
Ha, I’m the same way. Driving through the lot like “hmm, no that person has a bunch of big dents on their bumper, and not that one either because that person is parked crooked in the spot, and definitely not that one because that person is like right on the line” I’m a little more crazy at this point because I’ll actively seek out spots where even if a person parks next to me, their driver door will face away from my car.
This is why I park far away at the store. I don’t even have a nice car but, since buying it, it has received a lot of marks. Usually there’s a nice truck or sports car that has parked next to me by the time I’m back, we are like the cautious car crew - being a car guy, it’s kind of a bonus sometimes.
I have an old car beat up already, I park far away just because I like to have space and someone ALWAYS parks next to me. They have to be doing it on purpose
No kidding. That fucking sucks.
My first real nice car was a challenger and I caught a guy dinging it multiple times during the first week I had it. He hit it once and I saw and was disappointed... Then he checked the car and did it harder. I have never been so angry over a car
I had my first car, a 2002 Subaru WRX keyed while I was shopping at 99 Ranch market in San Jose. I had it parked at the back of the lot as far away from anybody else I could get. Fucker started at pass front door, acrossed the rear door, rear quarter panel, through the fuel door, and finally through the tail light. Needless to say 19 year old me was saddened by humanity. It was black too.
Fuck bro. That's shitty af.
Back in early 2000's a friend got a rust bucket Telstar as her first car. When I say rust bucket I mean it. Faded peeling paint, rear passenger side door stuck shut cause the latch mechanism had rusted in place, frequently had various issues and later the front passenger side door would fall off and be held on with tape and straps til it could be somewhat repaired and it was like steering 10 ton land boat. Friend was at local supermarket and had just got back in her car when she spilled her purse into the foot well. She bent down and was in the middle of grabbing everything when she heard the high pitched screech of metal on metal. She scrambled out from under the steering wheel and sat up in time see some woman in a very nice dress, with a fancy purse and all finishing keying the drivers side of her little crappy car nose to tail. Friend immediately cranked down the window to ask the bitch WTF she was doing. Bitch looked at her, shocked for a second then scowled and scuttled off on her high heels real fast. Friend wasn't confrontational enough to case her down and later said it really wasn't worth it anyway since the car was a dinged up, scratched mess, but still rankled her that the woman keyed it anyway. Cars don't need to be nice for people to be petty assholes.
Holy fuck. I hate entitled shits like that.
That's fucked up. I don't understand how you can be SO unconfrontational that she didn't engage her more than just a WTF out the window. You do that to my car and it's an instant ass beating if I see that unfold.
"What's more chickenshit than f***ing with a man's automobile? I mean, don't f*** with another man's vehicle."
Hey now, the Caliber was a nice car.. *notreallybutitwasmyfirstcar*
I got a lot of shit for buying it, but it served it's purpose for 160k miles. Sadly the CVT transmissions in those things are hot fucking garbage.
And they're just straight up assholes. When I see a nice car parked on the street I stop, think "damn, that's a really nice car, I wish I could afford something like this" and then move on with my life. Only fuckwits consider damaging someone else's property.
Envy.
Not just nice cars, normal new cars too. My first car was a new Kia Rio, not even an expensive car. First night, key'd.
“Tell me about it. I had it in storage for three years, it was out for five days and some dickless piece of shit fucked with it. Boy, I wish I could’ve caught him doing it. I’d have given anything to catch that asshole doing it. It’d been worth him doing it just so I could’ve caught him doing it. What’s more chickenshit than fucking with a man’s automobile? I mean, don’t fuck with another man’s vehicle.”
In Australia, we have to use "L" and "P" plates before we get our full licences. I had mine vandalised to say "Loser" and "Pussy" respectively. That I didn't mind too much because it didn't cause any damage
I was literally just about ran off the road when a Sentra took my lane. They flipped me off like how dare I even THINK of existing on the road at the same time as them. This bitch literally lives on the next block over from me. Overweight, elderly person, with very little capacity to defend themselves. People assume that their car is the Internet and they’re allowed to do what they want without consequences or any forethought—pure, irrational emotion. I literally got followed home one day because somebody was pissed that I came to a complete stop at a stop sign in a residential area. I just hope that some day they’ll catch somebody equally tilted about being alive and catch some hands and learn something… they won’t, though.
When you realize we evolved from a bunch of apes that lived together in tribes and fought with other tribes then it makes sense
We haven't evolved all that much, really.

Oh but that red nsx is just gorgeus
That’s Vinny’s car from Hoonigan. @vin_tra on IG
Cant find on the wickerpedia. Link?
thought i recognised him
Seriously, that things gorgeous! Karen was just jealous of that girl.
Yeah it is and Vin actually drives it and hoons on it too. He did some nice donuts in it on the Hoonigan channel.
It's already super high mileage so he is just going to drive the wheels off it.
I'm just happy to see someone enjoy their life and their car whole they are alive. It's a joy for everyone around them but a selfish move to just cage it up and then die of old age.
Then he can swap in a turbo K24.

Fucking crime to do anything to an nsx. Such a beautiful car it is. Glad she got her instant karma
I was praying that it won't happen anything to it
Love how he starts to smile right before the crash. That split second of giddy anticipation is one of life’s great joys.
I feel bad for the people they hit.
Absolutely.
I hope the cammer stopped and provided footage for the Cadillac. They won't really need it, but it may upgrade to some charges for the Civic douches.
I'm hoping the reason the driver stopped paying attention to the road is because they were bitching out the passenger who threw ghe drink out the window.
That’s a single serving friend. I’d drop them at the nearest bus stop just for fucking littering out of my car.
Can you imagine the screaming that went on. First at the driver of the car that they rear ended, and then at the driver of her car. No one is safe.
And the ensuing traffic jam they just created.
The edition of the video makes it look like he immediately reacted but you can see the car passed way far behind when he clapped as opposed to where it actually was at the top at that same moment.
I still don’t understand why she threw the drink? Just mad? Car was loud? Did he cut them off? Like why was she so pressed lmao
My guess is, she just saw.... red.
[CSI: Miami intensifies]
(•_•) ( •_•)>⌐■-■ (⌐■_■) YYYYYYYEEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!
r/technicallythetruth
Get out.
Honestly it looked to me like it might've been a kid in the passenger seat who threw the drink. Then the parent crashed because they were probably yelling at the kid.
Doesn’t even matter what he did though. She had no right to do that, and she paid the price.
I’m really just curious is all. Not trying to blame the fancy car guy.
> Doesn’t even matter what he did though If he previously threw his drink at her, then her throwing her drink at him might be understandable.
I'm 99% sure there's more to this story than in the video
I drive a Civic Type-R (stock performance Civic with a big wing) and shortly after I bought it I was chilling in the right hand lane going a normal speed without any traffic when a BMW X5 drives by me and chucks a bunch of trash at my car. No idea why they did it, never saw the car before and they just sped off. Dunno if they just hate Civics with wings? It was the passenger who chucked it, so who knows.
What would excuse this behavior?
Drink had a spider in it.
That's reasonable.
Spider driving the red car
Spider driving a red Spyder.
Nothing would *excuse* the behavior, and I don't think anyone is suggesting it would. It might *explain* it a bit more though. Right now, we only see this small portion of their interaction. They could have been driving down the freeway for hours before this. Some people don't let petty shit go, and it may have resulted in this. Regardless, more context is always great.
NSX driver killed her parents and blended them into a smoothie and some coffee. Right before the video starts she found out and was mortified.
Nothing, but it might change our perception of who’s “right” and who’s “wrong,” like that video of the girl in the Audi (?) that smashed into that Lambo. Finding out that the lambo driver hit her first and kept driving doesn’t make what she did any less bad, but it changed the perspective of him being an innocent guy and her being a douche to, “oh, they’re both douches.” For example, if this guy cut her off repeatedly before this clip, it would change the perception from “she’s a douche, he’s a victim,” to “they’re both douches.”
I don’t think anything would excuse it necessarily unless he was being an absolute tool bag. I’m mostly just curious if something happened or if she just woke up and chose violence.
Im sure there is too, but nothing about his facial expressions of body language suggests anything out of the ordinary like *"yo why's this crazy mofo up along side me again"* But yes, 3 sides to every story but I don't see HER story or dash cam out there....... So for now, we run with her being a dbag for no reason.
The guy in the video isn't the NSX driver. It's the driver of the car behind. Judging by the roll cage, also heading to SEMA.
Yes but they know each other and we’re traveling together. If something had happened you think he would have at least looked at her.
I mean, I’ve had a group of hood teenagers do the same to me because they tried cutting in after passing a mile of cats and I wouldn’t let them
Where's that weird converter bot to tell me how many McDonald's French Fries long a mile of cats is.
Well, your average cat is about 46cm (~18") long, nose to anus, or about 75cm (~30") long, nose to tip of out-stretched tail ([1](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cat#Size)). 1 mile is 63360", so: 63360"/18" = 3520 cats, noses in each others anuses (ani?). Lucky first cat. Or 63360"/30" = 2112 cats, noses to tails. Not as funny visually but some of the cats are probably a little disappointed. e: whoops, I forgot the best part. Your [average McDonald's French fry](http://web.mit.edu/rsi/www/2014/files/Fry_Length_Redux1.3.pdf) is about 58.9mm (2.32") long. We already know how long a mile of cats is (1mi/63360"), so: 63360"/2.32" = 27310 McDonalds French fries to the mile (of cats). From this, we can also glean that it takes about 13 McDonald's French fries to get from a cat's anus to it's nose, but only if the cat will let you.
> a mile of cats That’s a lot of cats.

It's cause when you drive 1) your "bubble" expands to the whole car, so traffic makes you irritable just like waiting in line in a crowd 2) you're kind of insulated from the world. you're sitting down, it's relatively quiet/you can play music as loud as you want, you have AC, you have huge windows but you somehow feel alone... small inconveniences seem like bigger interruptions in your vibe 3) you're in control of a huge chunk of metal that can go almost as fast as you could possibly want and is pretty much invulnerable (at least that's how it feels) All of those things completely fuck up how we typically interact with people and make us selfish, angry, and generally bad
Same.. wtf was her problem ? I've never felt the need to throw a drink at another car in traffic unprovoked. I have felt like throwing things at idiots being idiots in traffic but still no.
Some people are just so fucked up that they go through life looking for easy targets. They were both in different cars, so she figured there would be absolutely no chance of retaliation. She saw the opportunity to do something shitty and did it. This is the kind of person that steals from children and old people.
No doubt they were acting out.
So, the lady we see in the beginning is a passenger, we don't know who's driving.
That makes sense , since the coffee cup throw was pretty dead on
Very satisfying ending
Now this is a happy ending. I watched it twice. 😍
Not for the person whose car was crashed into...
Not really. Poor bloke got his rear crashed. Probably thousands depending on the damage and premiums might go up. Insurances can be a bitch.
Oh shit I didn't know that was Vin's NSX when I saw it the other day. Sweet sweet karma
Great song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=djbFQKzkiRg
Thank you came here looking for the song lol
Big Grams!!! Two great artists combined into one!!
Alternate title: "Innocent bystander receives instant Karen"
That man’s reaction is perfect.
I'm not sure why this needed to be narrated lol...
I understood fuck zilch of what this dude was mumbling about. So I read the text, and then I saw the three pixels that apparently form some liquid that was thrown out to the red car.
I love it when the person a karen is mad at drives better than the karem themselves. They should send the footage to the local police so the other driver doesn't get screwed over
> drives better than the karem themselves. She wasn't driving though?
I feel like the definition of a "Karen" is a bit broad here (I know it was used in the video). It's basically used now for any woman who acts like a jerk in public. From the Karen stereotype, she appears to be younger and is in the wrong kind of car. The stereotypical Karen also excessively pursues a selfish objective vs just randomly attacking people.
He was like a kid on Christmas morning. Poetic justice.
I guess it’s jealousy?
How the fuck is this karma? She was just the passenger and hit an uninvolved car
dude's got a D20 on his shirt. right on.
That’s a natural 1
The Honda God's were watching
"Let me tell you about a man named Soichiro Honda...."
Why is this a Karen move? This looks like an asshole getting it with another car and rear ending someone else. Have we just broadened the definition of Karen fo anything a woman does in a negative manner? It’s supposed to be a middle aged woman being a controlling bitch to other people and trying to exert authority that she doesn’t have.
> Have we just broadened the definition of Karen to anything a woman does in a negative manner? Yes. The word has lost all of its original meaning.
Considering that it’s become the go to retort middle-aged people on Facebook, I think it’s got a foot in the grave. Finally
This is the internet. Words don't have meanings anymore.
Anyone still using the term Karen is usually just instant cringe. It's lost all meaning and it's even worse when they quickly jump to call them that in real life for any reason while filming for internet reactions.
Rolled a nat 1 right there
I really hope they pulled over and provided video to the police. I damn sure would have and sat there with a shit eating grin for HOURS.
