Feel Free To Cringe While Watching A Jag Roll Off A Trailer, Into A Truck, Which Rolls Into A GTR
Feel Free To Cringe While Watching A Jag Roll Off A Trailer, Into A Truck, Which Rolls Into A GTR-October 2024

I suspect everyone watching this is likely to make that same scrunched-up, one-eye-squinting, sympathetic ouch face; I know I did. Someone hunted around for a hard-to-find manual Jaguar F-type, Ouch.

This was posted to Reddit’s , and, gotta admit, that title feels pretty accurate. Though, to be fair, none of the damage looks unrepairable, and I suppose this could have gone far worse if there were no cars on the hill, and the Jag continued down, picking up more and more speed.

Here’s the video, complete with someone gasping in horror:

I’m baffled by a lot of what’s going on here; it’s in the comment thread that I saw this was a manual F-Type. So why wasn’t it left in gear, with the parking brake on? Is that not standard practice when transporting a car on one of these?

I’ve had cars transported, and I know at least the car would be secured with a chain or strap; I have no idea why there doesn’t appear to be any straps, but just in case you’re some kind of anti-strapper, hopefully this video will make you reconsider your stance.

Chrysler Is Actually Doing Better Than Lincoln
Chrysler has been the butt of the joke for years now. It only sells two vehicles, and one of them was created before the stone age, etc. etc. But if you dive into its latest first quarter sales report, you notice something astonishing. Chrysler, the brand with two cars,...

Manhole Cover Testing Is Incredibly Satisfying
Manhole Cover Testing Is Incredibly Satisfying
Apparently, this is how a company called Saint-Gobain PAM Canalisation tests the manhole covers and different kinds of street grates it builds for strength and durability. Not only is the motion of the carrousel satisfying but just listen to the singing of the tire over the metal and concrete, especially...
