I came across this little beauty today... "CAMRY PERFORMANCE". I thought that was an oxymoron?



The guy was driving it pretty hard too, which made it funnier.

Two words which don't belong together "Camry" and "Performance".
I've seen Camry's with bodykits around too - why bother? It's still a Camry

Default F1 car fail

Practice for this weekends chinese GP you would need new undies and would have no faith in driving the POS at speed after that.

Well either the warranty ran out or that is impressive engineering!!!
Seriously you cant engineer failure like that at the exact same time!

Or maybe you can?? :

Looking at it over and over..... it appears to happen when he applied the brakes?

I think you find the carbon brake rotors exploded not a suspention failure funny how they both went at exactly the same time.

Yeah, was pretty spectacular !!! Thankfully he had a bit of straight to wash of some speed before impacting with anything - could have turned ugly if he was mid way through a fast paced corner.

Not a car fail, but it is transport related, and a fail.
