Default Practicality Challenge: Corvette vs. Nissan Versa

I appologize if this is a repost, but I did a search to check and couldn't see anything..

Here's a pretty funny Corvette vs Grocery Getter challenge video, sound's a little quiet to start - but it's a pretty entertaining video with decent production value, and it's about a vette! C5 with a fairly decent set of upgrades and stock Versa.

Hah, makes me glad I haven't lowered.

*edit \/ Thanks bill - didn't realize there were YT tags.

I watch his videos all the time. That's a good one.

I call my vette my SUV-Sport Utility Vette.

Really, if you have to go through all that effort just to get your car out of your driveway, IT'S TOO LOW!

A Harness for street driving isn't too smart either!

Whiplash, being strapped in negates the airbag and the OEM seatbelts which are designed to "slowly" stop your forward movement. Race harnesses don't give and your head will snap forward.

Plus it's a Pain in the butt when you can't reach your door to close it! Heck, I can barley reach the Radio controls!

Same reason you don't want to drive a caged car on the street. Track you're strapped in and wearing a helmet on the street not. Head, metal bar, impact = not good.

I want my CLICK back !

Let me be the 1st to vote -
That is the biggest waste of bandwidth on this forum !

My John Deere X585 lawn mower has more appeal than the vise versa

Glad those guys don't live near me ... the best challenge they could come up with was if the fast food could fit the the car(s)
