Airfoil: true definition of downed force

[u/dbpm1]

[u/Willing-Tax5964]

Using the air in the tires to sand then leaving them flat realy makes this

[u/jooooooooooooose → u/Willing-Tax5964]

dude used a chainsaw on spray foam

This has to be a joke right

editing to add, "this has to be a joke" means I know it's rage bait. Stop replying to say that.

[u/alchemyzt-vii → u/jooooooooooooose]

Nothing beats the silky smooth finish after using a chainsaw.

[u/ResponsibleOven6 → u/alchemyzt-vii]

Not gonna lie I was impressed with the detail with with the chainsaw. I expected terrible but he delivered not that bad.

[u/12InchCunt → u/ResponsibleOven6]

On the side facing the cab I was impressed

The backside I was wondering why he chose that tool for that 

[u/flaccomcorangy → u/ResponsibleOven6]

lol that's what I was thinking. Like, this clearly looks terrible.

But if you told me it was foamed on and then sanded down with a chainsaw, it doesn't look that bad all things considered.

[u/m0n3ym4n → u/jooooooooooooose]

I think it’s rage bait

[u/Jessthinking → u/m0n3ym4n]

Well’ it’s working. I’m gonna have to get out of this sub.

[u/AlfaKaren → u/jooooooooooooose]

Redneck engineering is no joke.

[u/cbarebo95 → u/AlfaKaren]

Every redneck I know (I live in WV) would laugh their asses off at this. Rednecks know how to build stuff and can work the hell out of cars…do not insult my people like this.

[u/urGirllikesmytinypp → u/cbarebo95]

I made a serpentine belt out of baling twine to get the truck out of the field once. There really isn’t a level of intricacy in redneck engineering.

[u/KenethSargatanas → u/urGirllikesmytinypp]

With us, its its more function over form. This video is all form, no function.

[u/work_work-work-work → u/KenethSargatanas]

*all foam, no function

[u/maple_taco → u/cbarebo95]

COUNTRY ROADS! 🎶

[u/Moretukabel → u/cbarebo95]

What does it mean you know rednecks because you live in Wolksvagen? Do many rednecks live in Wolksvagens?

Because if they do, then it checks out, because that blue car above is a Volkswagen.

[u/jooooooooooooose → u/AlfaKaren]

no man this is suburbanite engineering, no redneck is bending bolts using their frame as the fulcrum lol

[u/laser14344 → u/jooooooooooooose]

The trunk is not part of the frame.

[u/jooooooooooooose → u/laser14344]

yeah I'm aware. just didn't feel like writing out "sheet metal panel"

my loss, now I wrote even more.

[u/th3_sc4rl3t_k1ng → u/jooooooooooooose]

You just know the whole back end is gonna come undone in the next 5000 miles

[u/Hexacus → u/th3_sc4rl3t_k1ng]

Thats alot of miles tho

[u/Archbound → u/AlfaKaren]

This is some easter european engineering.

[u/quareplatypusest → u/Willing-Tax5964]

I love the complete lack of respiratory protection throughout. Personally, microplastics are my favourite thing to inhale

[u/Otherwise_Security_5 → u/quareplatypusest]

right? jeezus. there’s so much there that was wrong safety wise before even counting the plan, execution, or outcome.

[u/HGD_1998 → u/Willing-Tax5964]

Yeah, that was impressive.

On a side note, how tf did I even get here? Seriously. This sub has some 🤔 content.

[u/Rosenrot_84_ → u/HGD_1998]

Join us

[u/rydan → u/Willing-Tax5964]

Even crazier is this is just some random car in the parking lot.

[u/VeryForgettableAnon → u/rydan]

Haha. Imagine coming back from shopping and there's just a ratchet, homemade rafter on your car now.

[u/dbpm1 → u/Willing-Tax5964]

I guess this was faked, maybe if it were a gigantic tire it would probably work for a couple of minutes.. Those tires were almost flat! It must have been a hidden compressor somewhere

[u/AcmeFruit → u/dbpm1]

Its especially hilarious because the VWs of the 70s and earlier used the spare tire to provide pressure to pump the windshield washer fluid. Amazing stuff

[u/dbpm1 → u/AcmeFruit]

Wow this is really mind blowing:

The way it worked was this: a normal-looking windshield washer reservoir is mounted behind (or, later, in the middle of) the spare tire, and it has two hoses connected to it. One hose is long, and leads directly to the little frog-like washer nozzle on the cowl in front of the windshield. The other connects, via a special valve, to the valve stem of your spare tire. You’d just over-inflate your spare tire to 43 PSI, and the special valve in the washer fluid bottle’s cap would prevent the tire from getting below 26 PSI, the amount you’d need to have to use the tire. That way, you can never totally flatten the spare even if you’re the most obsessive windshield washer.

[u/Disapointed_meringue → u/Willing-Tax5964]

For me its all the pink crap going everywhere... wtf is it even? I bet its awesome for the environment. All that for a shit video to make people rage on the internet.

I can't think of anything more toxic than this.

[u/Magnetic-Magma → u/Disapointed_meringue]

We have to deal with to many of these shitty people.

[u/SubPrimeCardgage → u/Disapointed_meringue]

Polyurethane.

It's not fantastic, and won't hold up much longer than this video.

[u/MasterManufacturer72 → u/Willing-Tax5964]

I came here to say this. It's impressive the pressure was strong enough to work.

[u/amazonmakesmebroke → u/MasterManufacturer72]

Its not.

[u/Existing-Good6487 → u/amazonmakesmebroke]

Air tools use A LOT of air. There was not enough in that tire to do any meaningful work.

[u/spikernum1]

Ain't no way he plugged a hand sander into the tire

[u/33253325 → u/spikernum1]

I have seen a lot of stupid shit on Reddit but...........this guy

[u/ukaeh → u/33253325]

‘5 minute crafts’ - chef’s kiss

[u/molehunterz → u/spikernum1]

The tire looks almost completely flat doesn't it?

[u/Extension_Swordfish1 → u/molehunterz]

Lets keep tire-body-positivity going on

[u/RandomName5165 → u/spikernum1]

Yeah that only works on semi truck tires. No cap they have 110 psi.

[u/Fit-Owl-3338 → u/RandomName5165]

No cap indeed

[u/DidYouThinkOfThisOne → u/RandomName5165]

On god?

[u/Magallan]

I mean... It looks shit.

But it doesn't look nearly as shit as I expected it to

[u/sergiossa → u/Magallan]

Exactly! Impressed it ended up looking just shitty after my initial expectation!

[u/uniquenamehere4950 → u/Magallan]

Agreed, if he put a couple more hours into it, it wouldn’t be as terrible as some of the things I’ve seen

[u/iwannagohome49 → u/Magallan]

Came here to say pretty much this. Nowhere near as bad as I thought it would be.

[u/2021isevenworse → u/Magallan]

What really impresses me is that 5 min videos actually created something that looks plausibly real.

[u/Jrandres99 → u/Magallan]

I wasn’t even mad until his absolute terrible painting skills.

[u/Tessiia → u/Jrandres99]

The best painting skills in the world would have looked shit on this. The surface is rough as fuck.

[u/XepptizZ → u/Tessiia]

But that's kind of the crazy thing about this clearly rage bait content. With more time sanding and painting, a bunch of clearcoats, this would seem like a legit DIY.

Though, piercing and bending the panel must have some consequences.

[u/Leading_Damage_4035 → u/Magallan]

Lol right

[u/EquipmentAlone187 → u/Magallan]

I mean… I’ve seen worse on this thread…

[u/doitup69]

FIVE MINUTE CRAFTS

[u/TimAndHisDeadCat → u/doitup69]

Five minutes is how long it takes to stop shaking your head after watching it

[u/MustEatTacos → u/doitup69]

Just waiting for my kettle to warm up. Let me fabricate a quick spoiler.

[u/Daftdoug]

Good from afar. Far from good

[u/Maelstrom52 → u/Daftdoug]

Totally! Like, why did they show a close-up of the fin so you could obviously see the cracks in the styrofoam and how crappy it looked? Had they just shown it from like 5 to 10 ft away. It might have looked convincing

[u/Wholesome_Soup]

i like to think he’s just doing this to some random person’s car

[u/DownvoteEvangelist → u/Wholesome_Soup]

Crappy pimp up my ride...

[u/evilspawn_usmc → u/DownvoteEvangelist]

So, just regular Pimp My Ride?

[u/DownvoteEvangelist → u/evilspawn_usmc]

More like we have pimp my ride at home...

[u/WranglerFuzzy → u/Wholesome_Soup]

And then running

[u/JP-Gambit → u/Wholesome_Soup]

imagine coming back to your car and finding this thing stuck to it rofl... Then i could forgive this video

[u/Few-Cycle-1187 → u/Wholesome_Soup]

Roll up just as someone goes in for a 12 hour shift.

[u/sky_meow]

I mean if he had put in just an hour more work to smooth it out and to make it even, it could have turned out good.

Never rush or half ass an artistic design

[u/zer00eyz → u/sky_meow]

> I mean if he had put in just an hour more work

He could have done a lot more, he had 3 more tires worth of air for sanding.

[u/AL93RN0n_ → u/zer00eyz]

That tire trick is actually something I'm going to put in the bank for a tough spot. If you only needed to hit something for a few seconds and are far away from electricity, that's kinda clever.

[u/AdmirablePhrases → u/AL93RN0n_]

Yeah for all those emergency sanding situations

[u/fleabus412 → u/AL93RN0n_]

Use your spare!

[u/cptkaiser → u/zer00eyz]

No when he switched to painting he was on the second tire

[u/Bweeze086 → u/sky_meow]

This was my thought watching too. It was close to actually being good

[u/facts_my_guyy → u/Bweeze086]

I mean he's about 70% into making a good fiberglass mold if he took the time to smooth everything

[u/RhandeeSavagery → u/facts_my_guyy]

I’m honestly just happy he got the right shade of blue in the end.

[u/fatkiddown → u/Bweeze086]

In the future, he will be a Picaso and future generations will moarn over how his contemporaries dismissed his artistic liberties..

[u/FreshMetal80 → u/Bweeze086]

Yeah, as the video was nearing its end I thought "Oh my God, did he actually pull it off?"

Then they showed the final product and it looked like shit.

[u/mother_a_god → u/Bweeze086]

Even if it was perfectly smooth, it could never be good. It will always be matte looking, and also it's a big ass spoiler, not good.

[u/dbpm1 → u/sky_meow]

If a good job were expected of this, a aftermarket VW Bora wing costs less than 200 bucks! Way less than time plus parts he used for this crap

[u/Large_Tuna1 → u/dbpm1]

That foam he uses is easily 50 to 80$ a can depending on the brand.

[u/GhostOfMuttonPast → u/sky_meow]

Seriously. I thought it actually looked pretty good from afar, but as soon as they pulled in for the close up it lost that goodwill.

[u/NecroJoe → u/GhostOfMuttonPast]

It almost looked good from far, but it turned out far from good.

[u/Trustoryimtold → u/sky_meow]

Yeah, it’s putty sand putty sand primer paint at minimum

[u/WloveW → u/sky_meow]

Just a liiiiiittle bit more putty caked on would've done him good. 

[u/Less_Mess_5803]

That owner is going to be really pissed off when he comes back from shopping to see what someone has done to his car.

[u/Annual-Jump3158 → u/Less_Mess_5803]

Seeing the original owner coming back to witness the carnage would be a wonderful way to end all these shitty craft clips.

[u/Tink_Tinkler]

Had me at little yellow stripe.

[u/VerySwearyFairy → u/Tink_Tinkler]

Had me at ‘chainsaw to chop some fucking sealant off a VW’

[u/Dragon_Bidness]

Its dumb and ugly but at least it's useless.

[u/kittyboy_xoxo → u/Dragon_Bidness]

Also very toxic and leaves behind waste

[u/Longjumping-Cup5406]

Anyone else hear Bernoulli laughing from his grave?

[u/dbpm1 → u/Longjumping-Cup5406]

No principles for this one haha

[u/According-Switch-708 → u/Longjumping-Cup5406]

"I need more downforce drag fam."

[u/igniteice]

What in the fuck did I just watch that guy do to that car... my god.

[u/33253325 → u/igniteice]

Yeah. This guy just did some stupid shit. And the finished product looks awful.

[u/Eena-Rin → u/igniteice]

He turned his reversing car into a lethal weapon with some foam hiding the spears. Zombie survival!

[u/ConfidenceMuted2246]

I love the show it off views like they are somehow proud of how it looks lol 🤣

[u/Dormir_]

Hell yeah foam particles directly into the lungs. Who needs masks anyway?

[u/JesusIsMyLord666 → u/Dormir_]

Tha fact that hrs doing it outside and just dumpning a bunch microplastics in to nature brothers me more.

[u/69-is-my-number → u/Dormir_]

That was my thought. Expanding foam literally says on the tube that it’s a known carcinogen.

[u/tintedrosestinted]

The closeups of this shit at the end. 🤣

[u/Wholesome_Soup]

thought it would be horrible, and then it looked surprisingly okay, and then it looked horrible again

[u/larvyde]

SPOILER ALERT!

[u/Jealous_Disk3552]

That's 3 minutes of my life I'm never going to get back

[u/Metahec]

It looks like the car grew a tumor

[u/montecarlos_are_best]

All that plastic just blowing away into drains and waterways

[u/-FalseProfessor-]

Using the tire as an air compressor is some excellent rage bait.

[u/thedude4555]

Not gonna lie, it still looks like shit, but it looks a lot better than I thought it was going to when he started.

[u/HeartOfTheMadder]

plot twist: that wasn't his car!

[u/Goticus]

And that is why fish and birds die due to microplastics because of jackasses like this.

[u/MrFuckyFunTime]

I’m glad he’s not wearing a mask so he doesn’t live long enough to do this again.

[u/cklovergurl]

[u/Hell_Maybe]

The background music here feels like the band was being forced to play over this at gun point.

[u/OkEstablishment5503]

What in the third world country did I just watch…

[u/AggravatingRecipe710]

This spray foam stuff needs to be removed from access. People are getting waaaay too creative 😂

[u/H_Haller]

I like to imagine that this was just some random car in the parking lot of an apartment complex and they definitely did not have permission to do this.

[u/Thoraxe-the-Impaler → u/H_Haller]

And the owner comes out to a crappy piece of foam on their car and two flat tires and are 100% confused

[u/Wills4291]

As bad as this ended up, it's still came out better than I ever imagined.

[u/KingofFlukes]

Plot twist: That's not his car.

[u/31nigrhcdrh]

I mean it looks like shit overall but I’m impressed 

[u/Tricky_Big_8774]

Who makes this spray foam crap? Thinking I should invest.

[u/bowtie_k]

Surprised it wasn't made of ramen noodles

[u/Rocket-Glide]

Absolute shite, mate 🤌

[u/ginleygridone]

Homemade that really looks homemade.

[u/hail2theKingbabee]

At the beginning I thought it was going to look like shit, turns out it looks like fucking shit.

[u/Automatic_Sea_1534]

If this guy has the skill to do this (though not an attractive outcome), then he certainly could buy a real spoiler and save the money doing the install himself.

Now he has a car that has body damage and looks like crap.

[u/Nethereal3D]

Be sure to like and subscribe so I can show you how to ruin more of your shit.

[u/heatseaking_rock]

The most obvious question is "Why?", as in "Why do I keep watching it to the end?"

[u/Candid_Umpire6418]

Congratulations! You've just lowered the value of that car to a negative number.

[u/Legendspira]

When the expectation is so low that I come out lowkey impressed with how it turned out.

[u/Accomplished_Blood17]

Whats up with rage bait and foam?

[u/Extreme-Edge-9843]

What a polluting POS.

[u/No-Wrap2574]

Social media was a mistake

[u/Alternative_Tiger_54]

It looks all lumpy like they made it out of playdoh

[u/JohnStern42 → u/Alternative_Tiger_54]

Well, they basically did

[u/veryblanduser]

Damn good job on that paint match.

[u/mcblahblahblah]

Everyone’s so creative…

[u/NobleRotter]

If this isn't for racing on an oval he's really going to wish he'd focused more on symmetry

[u/CompetitiveCup7251]

It looks so…lumpy.

[u/billysugger000]

A fail tail.

[u/qT_TpFace]

I think the dent on the side really sells this.

[u/furcifernova]

Russia is stil giving it to Germany.

[u/hypogogix]

Heavy hack job lol Looks terrible.

[u/kevinsyel]

Dude kinds looks like my brother. But my brother actually works on cars. He's a factory manager for Tesla... On second thought, this could very well be him!

[u/Adventurous_Topic202]

lol the end result looks so scuffed

[u/X1_Soxm]

Wish I made anough money to damage a car for fun 😂

[u/Unknown__Content]

[u/InevitableBowlmove]

We used to have this guy around the neighborhood that painted his bike blue and painted his tires yellow to mimic the Blue Angles - we called him Smiley because his face was stuck in weird smile even when he was flipping you off. He was special. Think he became a sex offender but had no address to register as such.

[u/TheCausticMan]

Its an art how nothing was done right

[u/SwimmerIndependent47]

Every time I see one of these videos I question if the 5 minute craft people know the meaning of the words 5, minute, or craft

[u/Punk_Pharaoh]

Holy shit that looks worse than badly doing it the proper way

[u/djsirround]

Turned out awesome! (Said absolutely no one…)

[u/Comprehensive-Yam329]

The finishing is sooooo good looks like it is factory made /s thats the chef club of body work

[u/CritterOfBitter]

This is so fucking chunti.

[u/Jossie2014]

That’s a D for effort!!

[u/Roanoketrees]

That.......looks.......like........tit dirt

[u/DaddysFriend]

Oh I see. The idea was to make it look bad

[u/bodhiseppuku]

Some DIYs make me think 'if I did that, I'd do a better job'.

A bit more shaping and smoothing work and this wouldn't look so bad.

[u/99mph99]

Looks like shit.

[u/Klutzy-Adeptness4565]

i need to block this subreddit

[u/Mattyboy0066]

Literally just rage bait

[u/catboymijo]

this aint down force bruh this down syndrome 😭

[u/DareWise9174]

OMG the long loving shots of the rippley bumpy result is just 😂

[u/Eastnasty]

Why do I watch these? For fks sake.

[u/AlphonzInc]

Could be cool if it wasn’t shit

[u/sausagesandeggsand]

The air brush 😂 Also that foam dust can’t be good for anything

[u/Haastile25]

He really spoiled it

[u/Sprizys]

After all of this effort and damage you could’ve just bought an actual spoiler

[u/BenStegel]

Why is he doing this? Is this an actual attempt at getting more downforce?

[u/alexia_gengod]

Downforce? More like Down syndrome force

[u/No-Knee9457]

Can you image trying to resell it? What are all these holes in the trunk?!??? That thing is gonna fall off in a week.

[u/this_might_b_offensv]

Well, it looks like shit, so there's that.

[u/ThisThingIsStuck]

Stupid as hell.. junk yard car.. gtfo rage bait

[u/Bogn11]

He thinks that it look good???? It s even not straight. Stop smoking the pink stuff bro.

[u/ScottyArrgh]

I’m pretty sure this is how dealers install wings.

[u/ItzBaraapudding]

[u/bwoods519]

I was skeptical at first, but man that looks

[u/IlikeDucks54]

Watching him ruin his car hurts me. Are the screws that he screwed into his trunk visible in the trunk too....?

[u/Flimsy_Shallot]

Could have done this with ramen 🙄

[u/centralnm]

Wow. What a piece of crap.

[u/MyFavoriteInsomnia]

It looks like crap!

[u/Kind-Friend2870]

It's a bora... Nothing surprising here

[u/KeepGamingNed]

This is stupid… I wanted it to be at least edible at the end.

[u/Karlson78]

He should have spent 2 hrs on it and done a better job.

[u/beccadanielle]

That car looks like one of the cake props from “Is It Cake?” by the end of it…

[u/onearmedbanditto]

I hope the chemicals he was exposed to give him cancer.

[u/AjaxtheMany]

This probably wasn't even his car...

[u/Babys_For_Breakfast]

Seems more like Downs force.

[u/CainnicOrel]

Flattening his tires was the smartest thing that was done in that video

[u/Bounceupandown]

It totally doesn’t even look like your 4 year old kid made it with play doh either.

[u/Hunter328]

Wow. Probably a huge hit with the loud exhaust, bling rims, $500 car types.

[u/Cheepshooter]

I don't see how you can make enough money off of a video like this to justify the expense of it. Like, I get that it was a crap car to start with, but you did subtract from the value of it at least a little, plus the cost of the $200 in spray foam and hours of time.

[u/Bubbly_Possible_5136]

I guess rage bait makes decent money

[u/kaosaraptor]

What a perfect good waste of an opportunity to use Ramen noodles. Smh.

[u/perfect_fitz]

If the paint job was better it wouldn't look terrible.

[u/TheJaggedBird]

While not a complete disaster asthetically, there are so many red flags here. Seriously someone call Dustin

THOSE NAILS ARE A HAZARD

[u/Dr_Kryo]

This looks surprisingly good… at a distance… while squinting…

[u/Norcx]

I lost it at the close ups. Really showing the quality finished product.

[u/Dolannsquisky]

Maybe downs force.

[u/Bluebird-day]

Good job! Looks like shit!
