welcome back to warped perception
this episode was requested by Lauri from the
hydraulic press channel
if you haven't heard or seen his channel before
I left a link in the description
below so you can check it out
super nice guy
he requested that I hit speed bumps just
like I did before in the previous
episode but this time at 80 miles per hour
so that is exactly what I'm going to do
I'm all ready to go and you are
the first one I'm gonna hit is going to be the asphalt speed bump I need to come
around the corner doing about 30-35 miles per hour and then I have a nice long
straightaway where I'm able to get the car up to 80 miles per hour before
hitting this speed bump on my way
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
all right so that was interesting I went over that thing
just about 80 per hour and it kind of felt like I was just hitting
like a big crack in the road really didn't feel like anything so let's go
take a look at that high-speed footage and see if it revealed anything different
[Applause]
[Music]
I don't know it seems like the faster you go the less effect the speed bumps
have so the next thing we're gonna do is I'm gonna go to a different location
with the car and the crew we're gonna set it up in a completely deserted area
away from any people cars houses or neighborhoods
I decided to do one more
thing before moving on to the second location something I've been thinking
about for a while
locking up the brakes at 80 miles per hour while going over
the speed bump and filming with a high-speed camera just to see what it
looks like or if anything breaks let's do it
[Applause]
[Music]
so after that locking up the brakes for how many feet the reason you
don't ever want to do that is because if you look at the tire now there's a big
flat spot right here if you look at the tread here and the tread here it's
almost twice as deep as a tread here there's literally a flat spot and now
when I Drive it and it sounds like like it's flopping and if we take a coin to
check the depth check this out that's the deep side
that's the deep side and that is the flat spot right there look at that it's
about half of the depth and that is why you never ever want to lock up your
tires because that's what happens you get flat spots
I think that test went
really well and I think the car performed flawlessly it's now time to
head over to the second location but I've ran into a slight problem it seems
that after locking up the brakes the way I did this brake warning message is
showing up on the dash and it will not go away so I'm gonna have to check that
out first because well I'm gonna need brakes I think I figured out the brake
malfunction problem it looks like might just be low on brake fluid
even though I filled it up with brake fluid it's still Beeping let me take a look see
what we see oh I see something leaking I think it's brake fluid
well there it is right there I don't think it's related to the speed bump
maybe it's just rust I don't know maybe it was the vibration well it's a pretty
easy fix well yeah there it is right there look at that
fix this and get back on the road
all right looks pretty similar good enough
oh wow looks like all my warning messages are gone that means we have brakes
fantastic
apparently the brake malfunction indicator meant something because yeah
the brake line broke I'm not really sure if that was associated to hitting the
speed bump at 80 miles per hour or not but the brakes are all done it's
fixed time to move on to the next experiment for this one I got one of
those suspension killer speed bumps I modified it to be about an inch higher
than what you would normally find on the street made it portable so we can take
it to a safe location lay it down and hit this thing at 80 miles per hour and
my idea behind raising it up is not only to make it portable but also for maximum
effect if anything's gonna happen it's gonna happen with a four and a half
inch speed bump my new portable speed bump was a great idea but it was
weighing in at a whopping 110 pounds which made me think the only thing I
want to do before hitting these speed bumps at 80 miles per hour is mount a
couple of doors back on this car for some more protection just in case at 80
miles per hour if the speed bump breaks apart or something flies so I don't get
injured I feel like this is getting a little bit dangerous and I already had a
really small injury in the previous run something hit me in the wrist I was
bleeding I didn't even know it
and now that that's done let's go let's hit these speed bumps at 80 miles per
hour I have just arrived at our second location on being as safe as safe can be
this is like a 1 mile long stretch of road
in the middle of basically nowhere yeah I'm a little bit nervous about what's
gonna happen this is one of the first times that I'm getting in this car that
I feel a little bit nervous about what the outcome of this is going to be
first thing I'm going to do I'm going to set up the speed bump right here in the road
I'm gonna get the car all the way down at the end have everybody stop traffic
and then just run it 80 miles per hour Center the car and just smash it
[Music] [Applause]
[Music]
i'm at 80 now
that was that that was about 85 miles per hour a little bit over and as you
can see it destroyed the speed bump there's pieces all the way over there
down the road at one point before I hit the speed bump I was approaching 90
miles an hour I had to slow down a little bit and it just seems the faster
I go the less I feel It really didn't feel anything it was just like boom boom
and then I look in my rearview mirror and I see stuff flying everywhere that
was a complete success the high-speed footage looked awesome I want to do it one
more time from a different angle so we could get a better look yeah but I think
it was pretty successful I didn't feel too much now before moving on to the
second speed bump I want to show everybody who my sponsor is for this
episode it's bespoke post it's a really cool
website service that sends you boxes worth $70 or more for $45 a month and
they send you items based off of categories of interests that you pick
and they suggest which items they think you might like and send it to you every
single month and who doesn't like getting a box every month
everybody loves packages even April I received my first box this month I
haven't even opened it yet but I'm going to open it right now and see what's
inside and I need to find something to open this box here we go this will work
it's a really good deal there we go
that works let's see what they sent us
so much for having a knife
all right we go let's see what this is
lets see what is this
it's a knife I love knives I could get this thing open this is geared toward
men it's packaged for men too that's how you should really open a package
its actually really cool they must know that I live in Chicago this is perfect
nice and sharp see what this is Oh what is this let me know if you think this is
the way an unboxing should be it's ripped this stuff open I don't know what this
is oh this is like a wireless charger that's pretty cool that's really cool
and my phone is wireless charger capable I'll leave a link in the description
and that's who the sponsor is for this episode
I think this is an awesome gift idea
I would totally get this for somebody so they get a surprise
especially if they're single and they're alone all the time and they would love
to get a package like this every once in a while I mean that's worth it for me it
it would be worth $45 a month to make somebody happy it'll be pretty cool
I mean this is cool stuff I'm gonna use this totally yep this ain't going back
this is going right in my studio
time to get back to the action
and I'm ready to rock and roll okay I'm coming now
[Music]
so that just about wraps up this episode I don't know what to say apparently the
only damage that we walked away from with this car was a little bubble in the
side wall which I think was for the most part already there and I think what I'm
gonna do is if anybody remembers a comment that I posted a couple months
ago about a certain situation I saw at the street races about eight years ago
where a guy in a Honda Civic got himself into a certain situation with these real
small little rims that is what I'm gonna be doing next with this car I hope
everybody guesses in the comments below and don't forget to check out the
sponsor for this episode which is bespoke post because I really thought
that was a great idea I'm definitely sending that to one of my friends in
particular who's always depressed check out my sponsor and that's about it
I'll see you in the next video hopefully you like this one tell me what
you think in the comments below hasta luego
I can't help but relate this shot to a rear-end collision on the freeway where
somebody sees a vehicle stop and they slam the brakes as hard as they can but
since the car is traveling at such a high speed the car just does not want to
stop this is one more clip I want to comment on in relation to traveling at
high speed I didn't use this clip in the episode but I found it really
interesting that I was traveling at such a high speed the air pressure around the
car vaporized the raindrop before the raindrops had a chance to hit the frame
of the car just something to think about when you're driving around thanks for
watching tell me what you think about this style see you soon
[Music]
