Welcome back to Warped perception.
This is part 3 of our see through Car Series.
In the first episode.
I ran this Beast Through some of the worst streets.
that I've seen in the city of Chicago.
And I left off by popping both by Popping both driver's side tires.
My goal here is to show People.
What happens to their car.
And how the suspension works.
If they hit a pothole like this.
And in preparation of this episode.
Mercedes-Benz of Chicago gave me.
Some additional Wheels to put on standby.
Because this Is about to get extreme.
Alright thanks Ed.
Turns out they forgot to send me the trigger.
So now.
All right there is my pickle switch.
Perfect.
It's getting kind of tricky.
Because I'm going to have to drive the car as fast as I can.
Through this pothole.
And then get the car to a stop.
Then somehow figure out how I'm going to touch these two wires together.
Now that we got all of our high speed cameras set up.
There is just one more thing we have to do.
After the last run in Kingsbury Street.
Where I got the car airborne.
Unfortunately the transmission stopped shifting.
And in order for me to get more speed.
I'm going to need more gears.
But lucky for us.
Mercedes-Benz of Chicago has a brand new service facility.
Right over there.
Oh yeah there you go baby.
That's what we're looking for.
Oh man that looks like a transmission module to me.
That's the piece that was missing all this time.
Oh yeah my transmission modes are back.
Nice I got Gears baby I got Gears.
Now before I only got up to about 25 miles per hour.
This time I am going to try to get the car up.
To as fast as I possibly can on this stretch of Street.
And my goal is not only to pop the tires.
But also break the rims.
And hopefully tear the suspension apart.
Oh what !!. Well that was pretty amazing.
Apparently I was going too fast.
And the tires skipped right over the pothole.
I guess this is what happens when you're on the freeway.
And you're going too fast and you see a pothole and you hit it.
But you don't actually feel it.
So there you go.
One of the mysteries of hitting a pothole explained.
So I'm going to do that run again.
And I'm just going to go a little bit slower.
Maybe about 5 miles per hour slower.
I was doing about 45 or 50.
And then hopefully it dips down enough into the pothole.
To cause some damage.
That was the second attempt.
I slowed down a little bit.
But it still skipped over the pothole.
I mean it was clear.
It was nice and Center.
And you can see that the wheel went in just a little bit more.
I was doing about 5 to 7 miles per hour slower.
But this is not what I'm looking for.
That's all I got to say.
So I'm going to move back to the other potholes.
That destroyed our tires in that previous episode.
Here they are right here check it out.
This was the last pothole it was the rim killer.
And these were the primers.
These are the ones that kind of got all that momentum.
That shock in the suspension going Up and down for that last blow.
So I'm going to hit this up again 50 miles per hour.
Through this section.
And I'm getting a little aggravated.
Because I want this thing to just break apart.
But apparently it's built like a tank.
So this is going to be my 3rd attempt.
I'll keep my fingers crossed.
And hope that this thing just rips apart.
whoa !!.
Ohhh !!.
Now we got warning messages.
Look at this.
The side curtain airbags deployed.
Yeah I was wondering.
I hit that really hard and it was just like.
and our tires are still intact.
But that thing was really loud it sounded like a firecracker in my ear.
I had too many explosions already.
At least at least we got some kind of damage thank God.
Man all day shooting here.
Finally got something.
We're going to call it a day because we finally got some damage.
Got the car back safe and sound as you can imagine.
I don't think there's much worse than what I just put that car through.
Take a look at our damage a little bit more.
A little closer I mean this is like a huge hole.
As a result of that pothole.
And it's the end of our day.
I'm exhausted.
And that is pretty much going to bring this episode to an end.
But I am planning an episode 3.
Which is going to be a lot more extreme than this was.
The results were okay.
They were good.
But I just didn't feel that it was as Extreme as I wanted it to be.
So I'm going to plan a third part.
That's going to be more extreme than this.
And I can't believe that the car survived this long.
So thanks for watching don't forget to like share and subscribe.

Adios until next time.
