Even better; NY Man Rips Own Head Off

I was gonna call bullshit on this one... everyone knows a CRV doesn't have that kind of power...

I'd agree with you, but it depends on the slack in the chain... even a 2500# POS with no power has a bit of kinetic energy with some slack...

I pulled vehicles that were stuck in a ditch out with a 2WD '79 Dodge D50 (re-badged Mistubishi)... the secret was the tow rope made out of 1" nylon rope... it stretched and then yanked them out... I'd be doing around 10mph by the time I hit the end of the slack...

made me good money, I'd bet them $50 I could get them out... I never lost, wouldn't take on lost causes- and that was late '80s dollars!

There you go, crushing my joke with that silly evil thing Liberals hate "Logic"... I'd say even a Prius could achieve what this guy did in the CRV- just find a hill...

I'm an Engineer, it's what I do...

reminds me of the (lame) joke about the easiest way to make a Prius hit 150mph...









drop it out of an airplane... even a hang glider should do

Now you know that joke has been around at least 30 years.

I remember telling that one to my boss in 85. He saw my GTO and talked about how he had a "Judge" that would do 150. I asked "What airplane did he drop it out of" Explaining how the laws of physics and gear ratio vs tire size vs RPM works was to no good.

I finally explained that one might get 5500 out of a RAIII so that meant just over 120. 150mph meant 6500 RPM and the stock rods would have departed long before that.

And those of that remember the truth 99% of the cars back then were sketchy over 100 and a true 120+ was never to be forgotten on the tires and suspension of the day.
