The ONLY wall in the entire desert. WTF.

 

Little elbow grease, buff right out. Might have to clean the spark plugs and change the oil.

 

EXACTLY!!!

 

So true, so true....

 

I went to a BMW driver training event a while ago, and an instructor warned of things like this, a car in an open area crashing into the one thing they want to avoid.

They called it target fixation, you instinctively steer towards what you are looking at. What they taught me was to keep my eyes on where I want to end up, not what I want to avoid.

The driver probably lost control, noticed a big, scary, bright green wall in the middle of nowhere, and unconciously directed his car toward it.

He gave us a true story about a highway off ramp that had a tree in the grassy part inbetween the highway and the off ramp. When any car would lose control, they would unknowingly steer their car right toward the only dangerous thing they could see, this tree.

So, thinking that it was just the placement of this tree, the city paid to move the tree to what they thought would be a less dangerous place inbetween these two roads. Next week all the cars that lost control on that off ramp crashed into the tree at its new location.

Target Fixation, what a bummer. That sure was a damn nice car.

EDIT:Maybe I was wrong. I read he dodged a spoiler or fender liner that was lying in the track, got two wheels off into the dirt, kept on it, and hit the wall. Damn, that is scary.

This is a real shame

 

that is so unlucky....stupid wall.

 

Beat me to it.

 

yikes - chest or face first into that MOMO steering wheel - ouch

 

The wall...

 

How are they doing???
