The Funniest Car Fails of 2011

Over the past year there have been lots of advances in automotive technology that can adjust for driving mistakes. Suspension compressor and suspension pump units that can predict and adjust for bad conditions to air bag systems that can protect the entire car the advances are amazing. These advances may be something to be marveled but they cannot help when we do really stupid things. Modern technology can only make driving safer if people let it and while most of us are not trying to cause accidents, sometimes they do happen. On the other hand sometimes people do things that defy all logic and end up with hilarious results. keep in mind that with all of these accidents no one was seriously hurt, though pride may have taken a serious hit. 

The number one has to be a man in Georgia who decided to video himself doing a burn out in a Dodge Ram. The event starts out ok but ends up with him losing control of the truck, hitting an embankment and flipping the truck. This just proves that there are people out there with more money than brains, who also have video cameras. Next has to be a group of men in Japan, while on their way to a car show in a slew of high powered super cars. The group racing through traffic, the lead driver miscalculates a pass and ends up hitting the guard rail. This will go down in history as one of the most epic crashes that has ever happened. Due to the fact that almost all the cars traveling in the group ended up in the crash and all of them totaled. Oh and one Toyota Prius that had a big of damage on the rear bumper...what a tragedy. 

The automotive fails this year did not stick to tarmac in the case of this off-road driver. He decided that Ken Block is not the only person who can jump their vehicle on a dirt road. After a long run up, of obviously not enough speed he hit the ramp and launches his Chevy. It is not so much the launch that as it is the landing that caused the problem. The truck never reached the landing area and smashed into the embankment, causing massive damage to the vehicle. Which just goes to prove when it comes to insane stunts leave it to the professionals. 

Then there is the presidential award for automotive fail this year, which actually involves the President. The Presidential motorcade was able to get high centered in Dublin while traveling over a curb. This is a vehicle that can take a shot from an RPG without a scratched and it has been defeated by a sidewalk. It just goes to show that an automotive fail can happen to anyone anytime so be on the lookout.
