Well, some of you may remember my "Car-ism" post, in which i hinted at a project of mine, well, this isn't it. But i might as well let the cat out of the bag, right?

I plan on doing penetration testing on the 85 IROC I've got that no one seems to want, I'm gonna further strip it, then I'm having some friends over and we're going to see how...safe, our cars are when shot in different areas, from the front, from an angle, then from the side, all on the passenger side, because there's a higher probability of being shot from the passenger side (closer to the sidewalk, passengers more likely to be taunting pedestrians, etc). I plan on using several distances (10yds, 25yds, 50 yds, 100yds) and several calibers (.177, .22, .22mag, .223, .25, .270, .30, 30-06, .308, .38, .44 mag, .45, and shotguns (.410, 20ga, and 12ga with buckshot and slugs). However, if the car is penetrated early on from long distances with small calibers, then I'm skipping the larger calibers, and moving to the shotguns....and then probably just saturating the entire car).

I've gotta remove ground effects, gauge cluster, door glass, and the heater motor, then it'll be ready and I'll post pics...

 

nice, i wish i could be there for that.

 

Did you remove the gas tank yet?

Cause, if you didn't, I wanna be there when you shoot it.:lala:

 

i'm thoroughly disappointed by gas tanks, in all the movies they blow sky high, then i decided to light one on fire out of a buick skylark (don't ask) and also i have a video of a friend's car we burned after he totalled it...no explosion...it went "thud"....really dull thud at that, and then just burned for like 15 minutes (friend's car burned for over 4hrs)

 

Why are you doing this???

Kevin

 

because the car is going to the junkyard, and i'm a hick, and the result is that i have too much time, no cares, and lots of guns

 

hey ontogenesis .....check your PMs ok?

 

I got a 9mm if you want. I could even bust out the hollow points and put some massive holes in that thirdgen. That's not the one with the cowl hood is it? Cause if it is, wait and let me get that or buy it off ya.

 

Maybe you could donate the car to a poor sap here who cant afford one?

I would hate to see it shot it and left to die.

but, to each his own

 

yeap, i was in the fire dpt for 5 years.... most of them dont even go thud....



if you can, setup a camcorder on a tripod next to the car to record the fun up close.... if you record on the highest quality setting (lowest time) you may be able to play it back in slow mo and watch the panel waver an stuff...

 

No, this isn't MY car, this is a friend's car that I bought. The drivetrain is now in a truck, the rear end is in my car, the glass is out of it, the car is ghetto stripped and the front end is pushed back (it ran head on into a guardrail at 40ish), as a result most of the interior has blood stains (carpet, seats, etc) nothing massive, he's alive and well, don't get the wrong idea, he just cut his head up pretty bad when it broke the window and bled all over, the steering wheel is bent, i took the hatch off. From the firewall back, the car is straight as an arrow, no rust anywhere, but i put it up here and no one wanted it for body panels or anything, so i'm doing this.

 

hell yea....lets shoot some cars....


geez if only this was in the city we could be thugs huh? i mean it's got blood stains and everything ......


YEE HAW

 

OOOO i want to shoot something, i havent shoot a gun in forever you know we coudl allways make there car explode if yo uknow what i mean

 

yea, the explosion thing crossed my mind, one of my friends wants to put a LP tank between the seats...i don't think thats a great idea though...thats gonna raise more questions at the junkyard than the bullet holes, and i expect quite a few questions

 

whaaat? its just a stripped car, full of bullet holes with dried blood in it....

 

finally, someone that sees where i'm coming from.

 

I dunno, i get depressed as hell when i walk through the junkyards around my area. To see what was someones first car or a showroom display car become a sad looking P.O.S. It weirds me out because I beleive even an inatimate object still has a soul.
Have fun with whatever you plan to do, just don't get caught. The fuzz are everywhere.

 

Sounds cool. Gotta post some pictures when you get done. For another gun, how about a Desert Eagle .50? Friend of mine has one....

 

lol a DE .50 hed have to be almost point blank to hit a side of a barn with one of those...they are so unaccuatre

 

cops? i haven't seen a cop within 5 miles of my house for about six years...and if by some chance they did come, they'd probably join in. There's no gun laws around here, if i feel like shooting cans at 3am with a .308, not a soul around that has any objections. As long as the conservation police aren't called, those bastards are vicious, they don't need warrants or anything else, if they thought i was poaching, i'd be doing 20 to life, thats why i plan on doing this in broad daylight.

 

Always wanted to take a junk car and see what I could do with it with all my guns, too bad I live to far or I would bring some toys of mine over with some extra ammo! Oh well maybe I will find a nice Ford Mustang and sacrifice it to the Camaro Gods so they will deliver us new Camaros! :hail: :hail: :hail: :hail: :hail: :hail:

 

I agree!!!!

 

you hug tree's too, right?

 

geez tree huggers....NO!!!!


besides i always think of junkyards as recyclers for all my projects....parts usually are cheap as hell.

 

Think of a Junk Yard as a temporary rest stop for those weary car souls while they wait to be re-inCARnated. ^_^

 

Tree hugger my ****! I don't have a prob with junkyards, because you can find good stuff at a fraction of the price there. But being there just bums be out. I just don't see wasting money and time on ammo to blow the hell outta something. But i could care less about what happens.

 

Can you imagine the reaction of the state trooper who pulls this guy over on the way to this hillbilly revival.

Good times.

Dan

 

hillbilly revival? just don't forget that there are a good number of hillbilly's runnin around with guns the size of lil bow wow (props to 50 cent for that line) in their cars, myself included.

 

wait a minute......


shotgun racks don't come standard on chevy pickups???


i guess i've been hanging out with too many go ol' southern boys

 

Im not a hillbilly last time I checked! I havent received my hillbilly membership form or my complimentary mud flaps with naked chicks on em' to put on my camaro yet! Oh well maybe one day!

 

what're you tryin to say?

 

hmmm....the people from down south (N.Carolina) are telling us they're not hicks???

 

that its a really hillbilly/*******/backwoods/countryboy thing to be shooting at a car for the hell of it.

that said...


theyve obviously never lived in the country....

have fun. and like aunt ma used to say on the jerry springer show" you cant judge me! *head bob* you donno who i am! *snapps fingers* "

 

lmao... as a person who has lived in the northeast, the southeast, the midwest and the southwest..... and having lived in the country, suburbs, a med city and a major city, and now a small town, i can tell you....


it doesnt matter where you go, hicks are everywhere. they may dress diffrent, and go by diffrent names ( getto, *******, hillbilly, ect) but they're all the same at heart....

 

Xpndbl3: It just so happens I grew up in chicago and havent lived here anywhere near as long as I have a major city so just because I live down south doesnt make me a hick. Thats like me saying everyone on here who says people from down south are hicks are northern a$$ holes! We just enjoy shooting and sometimes a paper target is not as fun as a junked out Camaro!

 

geez guys lighten up a little.

apparently i'm hitting some nerves, it's all in fun.

 

no no no no no....ghetto is a WHOLE nuther ballgame...thats like apples and oranges

and if you saw me, you'd probably never guess i was a hick, i don't look it, i don't talk it, but i'm proud to be it.

 

I'll bring an AK47 or a MAC90 that'll prove a thirdgen is worthless bullet protection

Or my Ruger 9mm... Rhino bullets (shh)

 

OK Xpndbl I guess I did take it too serious sorry about that.

 

men-you guys kill me
poor car, but something interesting to see

 

having lived in both places i can truthfully say:


they both have hicks and as$holes.. but theres more as$holes in the north then hicks and more hicks in the south then as$holes.




id now say enbefodaloc but thats agienst the rules.
