“I have proof my car can’t go that fast”
Open and shut case.
Cool cops put down 420. It isn’t about speed, it is about weed.
(or did everyone already realize that?)
Yup.
And OP wanted 69 instead, the funny sex number, in case someone missed that too.
'68 is pretty cool though
All hail scogin
Damn, a wild the chariot fan
I had a bumper sticker on my old ranger that said
my other ride is a THE CHARIOT
Lmao ain’t no commercial car in existence that can go 420mph. Cop saved you a ticket if you’re not an idiot about things.
I would expect that any commercial car can go 420mph if you drop it from high enough.
Ok now I need to run a cfd sim to check the terminal velocity of a car…
What’s the outcome?
I unfortunately don’t have a cfd program, nor the skills to use one yet. Should by next year, definitely looking forward to it.
I need a ‘remind me in a year’ feature!
Evil Kanieval the stuntman figured out the terminal velocity of a human to be around 80 mph or so I believe, i imagine a car would be same or less, although it would probably fall engine side first?
If not, there’s always trebuchets.
There are few discussions I have in my daily life that can’t be made more entertaining by adding “If not, there’s always trebuchets.”
Thank you for enriching my future conversations!
If it doesn’t work out, there’s always trebuchets.
Terminal velocity is a thing that exists.
Looks like a human is somewhere in the range of 200-300mph, give or take a bit. A car is probably higher, but it really depends on orientation. I wouldn’t be surprised if a car couldn’t surpass 420mph.
Oh wow, you’re right. I always thought terminal velocity for a human was 120 mph. That must have been something I read a very long time ago that just stuck with me. I checked just now and the site I found said that it’s 89 mph spread eagle and 310 mph head down. I agree, that car is totally doing 420, dude!
Blaze it!
Drop it from outside the atmosphere. It will hit 420mph probably
Well sure, that’s why I couched it with “I would expect.” My guess is that most cars, even the Peel P50, have enough mass to surface area ratio to reach 420mph. But I haven’t done the math.
Pretty sure I’ve never seen anyone else use the phrase “couched it” in this context. Well done.
I mostly use it with couching lances in Mount and Blade.
Also valid!
I wasn’t sure myself, so I just asked ChatGPT. It gave me a bunch of math that I don’t understand and said the terminal velocity for an average car being pushed out of an airplane is 522 km/h (325 mph). I have no idea if that is right or not. LOL.
Why post this then? Anyone could do the same thing (and probably get different results). You added nothing except probably misinformation. Write comments yourself, and do enough research to figure it out yourself, or don’t. Don’t involve AI slop. We’ve got enough people we don’t need to fill the space with junk.
I did write the comment myself. The rest of us are having a fun and casual conversation. Maybe climb down off that soapbox for a minute and have some yourself.
I’m never going to not tell people to stop including bullshit AI generated stuff they can’t be bothered to double-check themselves. Best case, your wasting everyone’s time reading it. Worst case is much worse.
Is this bait or did you just not realise its a joke (fake scenario) ?
Neither, lmao. Sometimes a good discussion can be had by simply following through on silly premises.
Might be km/h
Nope, still doesn’t work. The fastest commercially available cars don’t go much faster than 220mph, which is about 350kmh.
According to that list, the fastest is 295 mph ≈ 474 km/h
Damn, there goes my pride in my reading comprehension skills. Still pretty dang close when all you have to do is change ‘no commercially available car’ to ‘no reasonably available car’.
If they were going that fast, they wouldn’t be getting a simple citation that could be resolved in traffic court, that’s straight to jail levels of recklessness…
that’s faster than most helicopters, if they’ve got a long enough straight, they’re getting away lol
You in court: Because i was blazin bitches!!! … (sticking tongue out, hands wide and making finger gestures)
Judge (looking at you weird): … five years no parol … NEXT!
