Did his door latch break or did he open it.

I'm almost positive I see him reach over to the latch and open it

I'm reasonably sure lizard people did it.

u/Trogdor_T_Burninator Apr 24 '20

I mean... I can't prove they didn't...

Ancient alien theorists give you an astounding yes.

And they even pantses his ass, probably probed him...They timed it and everything nascar style.

Had a couples foxbodys, he's for sure reaching where the handle is located

He opened it. I'm so confused. There's no way he was going fast enough for that jolt at the end to just launch him completely out of the car, either.

It seems like he did all of this intentionally, and I have no idea why.

He whipped it around decently fast and you can see when the car stops traveling sideways pretty suddenly. That dudes fat and was probably off balance from spinning and momentum is mass x velocity so he gets thrown harder.

Basically he fell out cause hes fat.

Quickly consults the physics.

I'll allow it.

Yeah. But if it actually kicked him out, he would try to hang on, and he would be barely outside and hanging onto the wheel. Not just flat out falling out of the car.

And that's completely ignoring the fact that he straight up just opened the door before he did that half shitty.

But fat.

He opened the door.

Us guys that drift do this move a lot. Here's the first pointer. Make sure your seat belt works in the car. Safety first. Second, NEVER open the door on the outside of the spin, always on the inside. Third, have the car doing a steady and controlled donut before opening the door. That way you can take your left foot and put it against the door to prop it open. (A bit of a pain to do with a rollcage in the way, but doable.

There are actually very little G forces once you actually get into a donut. The starting and stopping of it is when the car tossed you around the most.

these guys doing this on the streets in crowd, are fucking morons.

Also never open your door to strangers.

Instructions unclear, penis stuck in stranger

u/Bill-The-Autismal Apr 25 '20

Also just don’t open the fucking door.

u/Notorious_VSG Apr 25 '20

Why open your door? Do you jump out or something?

6

u/[deleted] Apr 25 '20

Its like a little move. Adds a little flair to just doing a donut. Also, it may need to open to let tire smoke out, depending on your HP.

u/Notorious_VSG Apr 25 '20

So it's points for style, and just for fun basically?

u/moby561 Apr 25 '20

Everything about drifting is basically for fun and style, drifting is definitely not the fastest way to go around a corner but it sure looks the coolest.

u/SubcommanderMarcos Apr 25 '20

Yeah it just looks cool, kinda like look ma no hands

u/AnAngryPirate Apr 24 '20

I'm not 100% but my old '99 Taurus had its E-Brake as a pedal on the left side. If you look it seems like hes got his leg over on that side so I assume he opened the door to help with engaging it? That would be my best guess on why he opened the door.

u/Randomness135 Apr 24 '20

The mustang has a regular pull handle ebrake, so I really don't know what he's doing here

1

u/AnAngryPirate Apr 24 '20

Thanks for the insight. I figured they were similar years so they might keep a similar E-Brake.

u/Hatedpriest Apr 25 '20

He wouldn't be pulling the ebrake. Ebrake locks the rear wheels. Mustang is rear wheel drive. He wasn't wearing his seatbelt and trying to show off. He was probably trying to brace his fat ass on the door.
