Ha, they are showing a car chase with a CL on the learning channel.

Looks like a 1st gen, and damn that was a bad reck.

DAMN!!! Are you serious!! I MISSED IT???????? DAMN IT!!! How was it??

------------------
Tw1112
CL 3.0 '98 - Cleared bumper, hiper/piaa bulbs all around, PIAA 1700x fogs, and AEM CAI.

• My CL
• LA Autoshow
• SoCal Meet

 

If the 3.0L can do that, imaging what the 3.2 can do. Was the guy int he CL killed? How badly was he hurt?
If the car can have a crash like that and have the driver survive, imaging what we will belikd if (when?) we have a major wreck.

------------------
2001 CL Type S.
No spoiler. No NAV either. No fat chics.
no "phat" chics either.

 

Can you post the program listing/title with date and time shown? TLC repeats a lot of stuff, maybe we will get lucky (with a repeat).

BTW, the new Acura CL-S is a safe car. 2 people in the CLS got mashed in them, and they didn't like what happened to their cars, but they did walk away without injuries...

------------------
pays to be young and crazy

-99 acura 3.0 CL
-58 Caddy Eldorado Biarritz
-55 chevy suburban (chopped dropped tubbed)

 

he was doing ok until he ran a red and crashed into 4 other cars...

that is an old chase, I saw it prolly 2 or 3 years ago for the first time...never noticed it was a CL until last night though

Astroboy out...
2001 Acura Cl Type S: Comptech: Headers, filter, sways, springs, koni shocks, goodridge braided brake lines, full kicker system
1996 Porsche 911 Twin Turbo: H&R Springs and sways, Bilstein shocks

 

The guy is now paralized from the waist down. The fact was is he made 3 or 4 other peoples day suck but they walked away. He got what was coming to him. You don't do 60 through red lights and run from the cops.

I think the show was called "Bad Drivers" or something like that. Anyhow they showed that guy that refused to slow down and did a test demo in a BMW and blew through all the barriers and was still convinced he could stop faster than it was possible. I think I told the board about that guy when someone on here got the same idea about driving crazy like in town. Anyhow, it was "Bad Drivers" I think.....

Thanks,

I think I saw some of a "Bad Drivers" on TLC. I guess I didn't stay tuned in long enough -- Oh Well. I'll try TLC's site and search on "Bad Drivers"

 

Hmmm... I went over to the TLC site and came up with the following for Jan 17 2001 @ 2:00AM (Search with "Bad Drivers"):

Series Title: "Beware - Bad Drivers"
Episode Title: "Backseat Drivers"

Here is the link (I didn't print out all of the candidates, only the Jan 17 2001 @ 2:00AM :

http://dsc.discovery.com/tv/tvschedu...=bad%20drivers

 

Hmm....I guess the series is over or something. Wonder when it'll be on again... and next time I bet it'll be one of you bozos out there w/ all those racin stories. When they arrest you and the cameras are all around you, dont forget to plug this site!!
