I was afraid you were going to say that.... This video is definitely a good example for the future, if we ever do any Street blockages and do any sort of racing or testing, make sure we show some behind the scenes at the end of the video. These viewers here we're tearing me up about safety.
@@WarpedYT I've been driving like this to work for like 3 months over these suspension killer bumps at 50 KPH. At least in my car the suspension doesn't bottom out and I have very tall tires.
If you are going to do this in location where there is a high risk of injuring or killing people, don't fucking film yourself doing it. Not really sure why he wears sunglasses, cause his future doesn't look too bright. Lol.
When I was a kid, a professional driver told me that when you realize you're going on a speed bump fast, press the brake then when you're about to hit the bump, floor the gas pedal. It makes the ride so smoth that you won't realize you hit a speedbump. 20 years later and I'm still doing what he taught me. It works.
Exactly. Don't even need to floor it, just release the brake a couple of meters before hitting the bump, and your car nose will tilt up and the speed bump will make much less of an impact. I'm surprised not enough people know this trick. Don't even brake when hitting the speed bump! Do all your braking before!
I used to do that in my old car with soft springs and higher profile tyres (current one has stiff springs & low profiles, so not as much effect). I think I started doing it naturally, possibly by accident at first, but you can feel the weight transfer and know you’re nose-heavy when on the brakes, so you lift off and the weight rebounds to the back - add a bit of gas pedal and it’s like leaning back & pumping the pedals on a bicycle to transfer weight back to get up a curb.
My personal technique is to approach the speed-bump at a diagonal sufficient to allow the tires/wheels to strike it at slightly different times rather than at the exact same moment. Less speed-reduction is required and there's significantly less suspension thrashing.
The E class Merc has amazing quality suspension, built for the rough roads of poorer countries. So this is not a good example of what would happen to your average car. He’s also taken a lot of the weight off the car! Guys a moron for using public roads etc. don’t sub!
samdajellybeenie you don’t even need a permit half the time. You just say you’re a RU-vidr and they leave you alone 😂😂anyways I have fake permits. I do photography
@@toplyrics457 Toyota? Have you seen what the topgear toyota could handle? I would agree if you would said Kia or hyundai. But Toyota and Honda would rape those speedbumps like nothing..
@@straightbusta2609Everybody, speed bumps slow down speeders so we have safer streets, we get it. Please dont forget about our firetrucks and ambulances. Speed bumps slow everyone down including sirens! There are more clever ways to control traffic.
Speed bump manufacturers have a vested interest in making sure traversing them be as uncomfortable as possible while causing no damage to the car. Imagine the lawsuits if they were ripping cars apart?
What’s the grinding noise? I may -or may not- _definately_ have caused a car to make the crunchy grinding noise once or twice in my youth. Also in the may -or may not- _definately_ have done column: parking a stick shift by releasing the clutch in 1st until the engine gives out. Probably not doing as much damage, but who knows?
@@pavelcerny9803 Why? This guy slammed reverse on a public street, against traffic and drives recklessly during the whole video. These kinds of tests should not be done on public roads by some random dude for youtube vids.
When I was young, my dad was a first responder for the local fire department. He responded to the call. A guy got mad at a bar, got into his car, and hit the gas. Just north of town, there are some railroad tracks. This guy did not realise how high up the tracks were. The cars bumper hit one of the rails. The car went flying. He hit a tree. The bark was torn off of half of the trunk. The bark is still missing. The guy died. This is what can happen if you hit the tracks at a high speed.
Never thought I’d hear someone complain so much in such a short period of time about a pothole or speed bump NOT ripping up their suspension and subframe 🤣🤣🤣 great video 👏👏👏
Okay, so I think the factor that everybody is overlooking is that with all the doors and body work is removed, the car weights significantly less, therefore the suspension is much more unladen than it would normally be so that is why the car seems to soak up all the bumps so easily.
This speed bump was hit too slow this speed bump was hit too fast! But this speed bump... this speed bump was hit juuuust right. And ripped off ya bumpaaa
Because hitting it at just the right speed will get me over it but not in the way I want it to fucking send me into a slide why not eh 😂 the perfect formula for drifting I can’t catch traction if I’m in the air now can I 😂
I might be wrong but I was thinking the weight reduction might be a reason for the reduced impact or whatever so maybe a fully furnished car would get fucked
Back somewhere around 1990-94 when I was a dumb teenager and just started driving the city came up with the brilliant idea to make my neighborhood into a "traffic calmed neighborhood". In other words they installed a bunch of speed bumps on my street. In short they didn't help. I found out really quick that the faster I hit the speed bumps the less I actually felt them. I figured it probably wasn't good for my suspension but I never saw any direct damage that I could attribute to hitting them fast. Fun times.... Fun times....
@@НарушаемЗря такие огромные лежаки будет невозможно проехать, учитывая, что большинство машин имеют клиренс 15-17см и ход подвески до 12 см. Большинство лежаков в высоту до 8см даже такие длинные, что на них заезжаешь двумя осями
Mixed feelings about this vid, flying through stop signs inches away from hitting someone in a busy intersection/parking lot. Cars on both sides of the roads parked but apparently speeding over speedbumps is the correct choice
Yeah this video is messed up. This should not be anywhere near people. This dude is flying through the roads like he owns them and everyone is set up but it's clearly a public place that isn't locked down. In the street there are people's houses and cars, and he is reversing down the entire street at the speed limit or more. This is insane. I trust the Russian vid where he mods the cars more than this shit.
@@woomyrune he definitely did not get a permit to do this in the Costco parking lot. That place is always packed. This is not the kind of thing Chicago gives out permits for. It’s very clear he’s just doing it. I live in Chicago like him and I know that you don’t get a permit for this kind of thing. Shocked he hasn’t been pulled over yet. But yeah, there’s a lot of risk here just because of the way Chicago is set up.
Mercedes Benz needs to go back to basics all this new fancy technology can’t save me from a goddamn speed bump it’s going to fucking die regardless no matter how advanced the suspension might be 😂😂
Well i've been pulled over about 10 times already, the police just check out the car take some pictures and video, ask me what the car is for and then I go on my Merry way. I sometimes usually offer them a ride first.
I was thinking about how they or the local authorities would respond to ‘tarmac-shredding’ activities, the local mall to speed bump ‘moving/displacement’ and that driver on the street behind your rapidly reversing motor, brandishing a Nitrous totem for good measure! WTF?😂😂😂 at first I thought the film was reverse, then realised it was not, but must be sped up, but then noticed the car behind turning at normal speed. So basically you must have shit him up, lol. Best madness I’ve seen in a while mate.
@@ICGedye @I.C. Gedye thank you !!! It takes skill and madness sometimes but I did speed it up a little, but I use "speed ramping" it's a more advanced editing technique than just speeding things up. It looks good though, I laugh my butt off like 10 times when I was editing that part, it was so funny to me the way the body slides in reverse...lol. glad you appreciated that scene.
On top of that You’re putting Mercedes service department on 949 Elston Ave In jeopardy for willing to service your car and let you go back on the road
7:14 you see him destroy the speedbump completely, then right after you see how he says "look at that, you see how bad that sounds, WHAT THE. I don't get it" LOVE IT 😂😂
that works on speed bumps but speed humps (the asphalt ones) are “designed” to be as smooth as possible if you’re going the specific speed, slower or faster then you’ll feel it. I call bs on that tho bc like the wheelbase of cars and trucks arent all the same but i digress :/
I love obviously illegal all this is, speeding, driving like a maniac in a busy mall area, damaging a parking lot speed bump. Its pretty hilarious haha
I just came across this page after bursting a tire whilst driving 130km/h and lived to tell my story. I am amazed at the way he conducts testing amongst fellow road users, bikers etc. Very risky.
Yea what an idiot. Driving like that in a parkinglot for views. Be a professional and get your own plastic speedbumps on a testroad. Jesus Christ. And people are defending it too?? I guess I shouldn't be surprised...
My thoughts pretty much exactly. You'd think he'd get some friends, set up some sort of "Please go around for the next few minutes" thing.. but nope. Dangerous to others.. While I truly love getting information through applied science... Do your science with -safety- in mind!
As a kid, whenever my parents were about to run over a speed bump fast, I'll unbuckle, when the backwheel gets to the top of the speed bump, I'll push myself up and I'll end up flying for a tiny bit.
Illinois loses population for 6th straight year - and it lost more residents than any state this decade. Illinois' population decreased in 2019 by an estimated 51,250 people, or 0.4%, marking the sixth consecutive year the state has lost residents, according to new data from the U.S. Census Bureau.6 days ago. Illinois has become a shit hole. From its speedbumps and potholes to the black on white crime. No one wants to live there anymore! I left over a decade ago!
@@joelr877 really I was making a joke about a game and you get mad giving facts "GUESS WHAT SIR" nobody asked for your damn opinion they came for good laughs so shut up and ok boomer was just for my pleasure so stop just stop I shouldn't even be wasting my time on people online that probably have nothing better to do
I love how casually he completes all these hilariously illegal activities. "Huh thats interesting, I didn't destroy anyone, I mean thing". This guy definitely had a bowl of speed for breakfast.
man doing burnouts and hitting speed bumps with nitrous on residential streets where cars are parked with only one hand on the wheel hoping that suspension parts give out (the same ones that keep the car straight and safe on the road)... what a "legend". True show of expert driving and thinking skills. Well I guess I learned that me and the boys can drive flat out over speed bumps that are near the kindergarten and school areas when we drag race with no worries. Ty
@@stefanbondeson6505 because democrats are a speed bump to anything good. Murder and tear apart limb from limb if infants. Raise ur taxes so u pay more, refuse to defend and protect Americans. Lie cheat and steal their way in the name or morality. They have nothing to offer to us. They are disgusting
fun fact (german engineer talking): german cars MUST withstand driving with 60 km/h over a german curbside (Boardsteinkante) which is roughly 15cm high. Nothing may break off of the car when doing so, but it is ok for things to bend/deform. I've seen those high speed images and they were shocking on a whole other scale than this - altough this was quite nice to watch!
Carter Davis Because Japanese cars are just better. Or they use proven technologies that are mature and reliable, instead of trying to be on the bleeding edge all the time.
Interesting results but had to give a thumbs down for doing this in such busy areas. It was all a bit cringe but the worst was at 5:55, driving full throttle towards a car turning into the road.
Or the cyclist @ 8:01, where were the flaggers?....Cool concept, but have to be more conscious of potential for damage or injury. Part of the suspension could have broken, wheel/tire failure and the car veers into one of the buildings. JBoys….who cares about fault if someone is injured by careless planning?
Imagine this guy driving by like that and you have no clue what’s going on. Like I’d be expecting a police chase or something. Straight out of the chop shop.
I encountered my first "asphalt speedbump" about a year or so ago in a nearby city. I was in unfamiliar area, it was not marked well, and I was going the posted speed limit of 35mph. I hit it at that speed and didn't brake, car bounced a lot and I think the suspension bottomed out. The car is a small economy car with small wheels so speed bumps are murder on the suspension. No issues from it, but it pissed me off quite a bit. If you're going to install a speed bump in a random spot on a random road with a posted speed limit of a reasonable speed, you need to mark it properly. That being said, I tell people (jokingly) that they're doing speed bumps all wrong. SPEED bumps are meant to be hit "at speed" lol. I guess my joke wasn't too far from reality.
@@bigospig they actually told me they were going to be removing them in a few days anyway, so I helped them out...lbvs. That is actually not a part of the parking lot, it's a city street.
If you're going to hit a speed bump fast (or a pothole) you can try to decelerate but you have to release the break before hitting the bump/pothole - if you don't have time for that, better not bother at all. When you step on the breaks and hit the bump/pothole you're now also adding the breaking forces to that wheel/suspension which adds more stress/wear and raises the chances of breaking something off. Additionally, when you break, you transfer the wight of the car towards the front which worsens the situation even more by making the forces that act on the wheel/suspension even bigger.
So funny enough the summer before last I had one of the actors who used to do some projects together with me drive the car into the dealer. She didn't do the best job because she was supposed to get out of the car and be like a normal customer. however none the less a service writer still came out and wrote the car up for having an issue with the air conditioning, I should actually find that video and post it on my personal channel so everybody can see it.... It was so funny, the service writer was in the car checking the air conditioning to see if it was blowing cold air, in a car with no doors...lol.
This bloak is awesome! Many of those speed bumps are psychological, the faster you go thru them the smoother. I feel a bigger bump and much more discomfort braking and reaccelerating or at lower speeds, than cruising thru it at the speed limit. You can literally drive thru most of them, apart from the really tall and wide ones, even at 80kph and all it will cause is a slight vibration. Be sure to hold firmly on steering and keep the wheels straight though worst thing is to make any steering input while going over these at speed.
Interesting... engine's inertia makes the whole subframe stay still while the rest of the chassis is pushed upward by suspension bottoming up!!! Funny to say, you can have engine mount issues cause of bumps !! :D
@@WarpedYT from what I remember the entire drive train from the engine, trans, to the exhaust is suspended by rubberised mounts and hangars, isolating them from the body of the car, lessening vibration noise in the cabin. But likely in this case, they absorb the shock of the sudden upward jolt from the Speedbumps. I guess in a way you don't want very heavy, precise mechanical components suddenly jolted, that probably causes issues. Pretty neat!
On the third speed bump, did you see what the headlight inside it housing on what side did? I personally think that was more impressive than what was happening to the suspension and tire / wheel combination. It was truly unexpected.
I love that he chose a 2000's mercedes. This is a testament to the quality of mercedes engineering in suspension systems. This is why I drive a mercedes, because even at high rates of speed in hard corners I know that my car will maintain traction and control even if I hit a unexpected bump in the road. And you can see mercedes engineer the suspensions to take very hard hits. I own a 2006 E320CDI and I haul ass and I've hit some unexpected potholes and bumps at 95mph to the point my car jumped and when the car landed, the ESP maintain the stability and as soon as the car stabilized the doors relocked. Think about that, Mercedes has engineered the door locks so that when the car sense a crash is imminent it unlocks the doors so you can escape the car, and then if the car is still going at speed the door automatically relock. I'm mercedes for life.
