This is part 2 of the see-through Car Series.
In part one.
I left off with.
Stripping the car down.
Hitting some more potholes.
And finishing up on this street.
I'll just pick it up from there.
We are all done with this street.
Because it is way too Dusty here.
Our next stop is Cabrini-Green.
Oak Street downtown Chicago.
Before we get back to it.
I just feel like this car is not stripped down quite enough.
So I'm going to go with my gut.
Remove a few more items and.
Our E-class is ready to hit the streets of Chicago again.
So if you've ever wondered what happens to your car.
When you hit a huge pothole.
You're about to find out.
Okay so that last pothole.
That was about 15 miles per hour.
I think it was kind of lame.
So I'm going to try it again.
And I'm going to go about 30 to 35 miles per hour.
I'm going to try to go as fast as I possibly can to hit it.
And see if we can get some serious suspension travel.
Let's see how that looks.
Let's go.
The first thing that I realized from Those last runs.
Is that we need more high-speed cameras on this car.
And our friends at Vision research.
They were kind enough to send us these cameras right here.
And they also sent us Ed.
So what do you do at Vision research.
I am the senior applications engineer for the company.
So he's going to be here helping us.
Come up with some ways to mount These high speed cameras on this car right here.
What do you think about this project.
This is interesting.
It's very interesting.
I have been working and high-speed in the automotive field.
For over 20 years.
We've done something similar.
But nothing as crazy as this.
We're going to get this thing rigged up with some high-speed cameras.
Try to hit these huge potholes right here.
Which apparently people drive through every day.
And yeah that's it let's do it.
Can I wipe the baby camera?.
No don't put water on the baby camera.
Ed and I just finished mounting the additional high speed cameras.
That Vision research sent us.
And this is going to give us a closer more in-depth look.
To how the suspension works.
And what the suspension is doing.
When you drive your car through a street like this.
First run I'm going to do.
I'm going to do just a straight run down the street.
And try to hit all these cracks and crevices.
And any potholes that are in the way.
Well that was a doozy.
Very unexpectedly I popped both tires.
Believe it or not.
This was something that I was not anticipating.
I'm going to give my friend Ernie a call at Arandas Tires and Rims.
And see if we can get some tires on this thing.
Get this car back over here.
And get a few runs in before the sun goes down.
Alright Ernie just text me he's got the tires.
We're on our way to Arandas.
This thing is shaking around like crazy.
I'm almost to Ernies place.
hopefully he's going to hook us up with some new rubber on this thing.
These are the old tires here.
Yeah they definitely went through a beating.
The car actually made it to Arandas Tires and Rims.
Ernie is going to get some new rubber on there.
And it's going to hit the streets again.
And see what else we can get out of it.
But.
At this point I'm exhausted.
Over the last 3 or 4 days we have been shooting.
This car has beat me up.
And we got a lot of good footage we showed you already.
So I think what we are going to do.
Is we're going to stop this episode right here.
And we are going to continue it with a part 2 and a part 3.
Focusing on other things that you see on the street.
Like speed bumps and alleyways.
And other things in general.
Tune in for the next episode.
Check out our other videos which are all kinds of different subjects.
Also check us out on Discovery Channel.
See you guys later thanks for watching adios.
