That can’t possibly be good for the car in any way

Better than rolling down the mountain
That can’t be good for like… something. I don’t know what because I’m not a car guy. But rims and suspension seems like a good start.
Honestly, it's probably pretty fine for everything except maybe the front right tire or maybe the rims on the left wheels if they scraped the ground.
Being up on 3 wheels at very low speeds isn't going to stress the suspension at all. And even if something bottomed out during that last drop off the wall, shocks/struts all have bump stops to prevent metal-metal impacts.
The lateral forces might look pretty extreme, but think about how much force is being taken during a sharp turn at speed. Most cars can corner at well north of 0.5g, which is half the car's weight pushing the car sideways, and even then it's tire grip that fails not suspension components.
Me getting by the old man who stops right in the entryway of Costco to look around bewildered.
Now show the front right of the car.
Their ball joints and wheel bearings hate them.
That's some skill right there. I didn't think he even scratched the paint.
Person filming could have just got back in their car and moved it so the black car didn't have to do that.
Like BWM guy didn't want to show off. 😆
Buick is absolutely in love with you right now for mistaking their car for a BMW
😥
Reminds me of scriptedasiangifs
Everyone is talking about how bad for the car it is, but I'm wondering about that wall. That's a lot of weight being thrown on it. It might be fine, but it might also shift things just that little bit that completely fucks it in the long run. I mean just reverse until someone can get around.
I love how he subtlety reached out and collapsed his side mirror.
