If you could get hit by any car in the world...

[themadchemist]

Well, my friends and I were walking down the street and we got on the topic of cars, of course.

We talked about how it would be an honor to even touch a Porsche or a Ferrari...Of course.

But what would be the nature of that "touching," I wondered?

And so I asked that fateful question.

If you could get hit by any car in the world...

...What would it be?

[szark]

A Matchbox car. :D

[edesignuk]

Well, if I must be hit by a car, it had better be a Pagani Zonda (http://www.paganizonda.com/) :eek:

i was hit by a car 8 years ago. i don't know what it was though. probably a cavalier. and i can say from experience that i'd rather not be hit by a car again, regardless of company and model.

sorry if i'm ruining this thread but i just thought i'd tell everyone that it was not a pleasant experience. my durable lunchbox saved me from a broken hip.

seemed painless enough. how fast are we talking about?

I'd like to keep it down to any battery powered Tyco RC car...

Or, if it's on campus, any car, as long as it's not going very fast, so I can sue them, and get lots of money $$$ (I live in Texas, I can get cash from tripping on the sidewalk...)

C'mon at least make it a real car...

How bout an old Stanley Steemer or one of the old Rolls-Royce Silver Ghosts from around 1906?

[Gymnut]

Ok. A Yugo then.

[scem0]

A hotwheels car :D.

[applemacdude]

Uh a parked one

[vollspacken]

hehe, a German "Unimog"...

that is a bad**s piece of machinery ;)

actually, here's a mean one, sneaking out of the bushes in order to hit me:

[shadowfax]

interestingly, i have a friend in Oregon who bought one of those to go off-roading in the Yukon or something. they can drive over a 2-foot tall perfectly vertical curb or something insane like that. amazing.

[wdlove]

Prefer not to be hit by a car. If it is going to happen would prefer not to know that it's coming, just get it over quickly. An H2 might just do the trick!

[tazo]

lol just go to an expensive car dealership and sit in one of the ferraris...I used to do that on the way back from the nearby apple store :) whats the worst they can do, ask you to leave? :D

[Durandal7]

A really expensive car.

That means they will have lots of money to pay my outrageous mental anguish and lost wages claims :D

Then I could start the 'If you could be run over by any car in the world" thread...

[medea]

well after a bike accident from my youth I was almost run over by a car, that's close enough for me so I wouldn't take it as an honor to be hit by any motorvehicle.

Any car that is driven by an insanely rich hot woman...that way I can either sue for money or blackmail for sex! :D ;)

at least it makes plenty of noise when it is approaching, it won't creep up on you from behind and run you over.
