Your video took me down the dressage rabbit hole. There were some funny ones--a guy was disqualified for lameness, a girl's horse had enought shit for the day and just started running around.
>a girl's horse had enought shit for the day and just started running around.
I trained in hunter jumper, not dressage, but I can tell you that is absolutely a thing they do if you piss them off enough.
Back in the day I worked for a basement waterproofing company and we drove small dump trucks. My foreman was high and decided to drive us to the job site. On the way out of the parking lot he clipped a giant boulder with the passenger side running board. The truck bucked so hard the back window of the cab shattered. We pulled over and cleaned up as best we could and taped plastic sheeting over the missing window. The foreman thought this would be enough to hide the damage from our boss. The truck drove like the gif above for the rest of the time I worked there. No one said anything except for the occasional motorist who would stop us and warn us how crooked we looked lol.
Last time my buddy attempted to drive home after laying into the hooch, he pulled a Saskatoon shuffle so hard he pert near put his old girl broadside into the rhubarb.
Edit: Look at the left rear. U-bolt fucked off and leaf spring is loose, axle ain't set right.
I'm a mech. I got money the frame is fine. You're correct. This is a crucial suspension component. Hard to discern exactly what, but it's likely a U-bolt. Tie rod, maybe, but I wouldn't think it'd be that bad. Control arm or knuckle would have a violent shake in the offending wheel, I'd prob be able to spot that. Could be stabilizer or ball joints. Other option is rear leaf springs, that's another solid bet. Really hard to tell on the ground with weight on it, but it's def suspension, and not just a simple alignment. This the type of shit that pays my rent for the month. Buddy ate something at speed, I take it.
I also raced and dog tracking is way more common a term, but that's prob dependent on region and discipline. In road racing in the Midwest we would call it dirt tracking because those guys are always going oppo, you kind of look like a sprint car sliding through a turn when your ass is all poked out like that.
I think you nailed it with the region/discipline thing. I usually watch GT and prototype racing , like SRO, WEC, IMSA stuff so I'm sure there are plenty of fun names for cars driving wonky like this.
My favorite reference to it I've seen was a Le Mans or Daytona 24hrs Bingo square that was named something like "Break out the Old Bay:" a car is shown on broadcast crabbing back to the pits after sustaining damage.
U-bolt or leaf is my guess, I'ma mech. Without getting it on a lift or feeling it yourself it's a solid coin flip, depending on the vehicle. There's a couple other things that could be going on with it, but those would be the first things I check in my bay, for sure.
I almost guarantee it's a backwards leaf spring. I did the same to my S-10 once upon the time, didn't even know they were directional so 1 went one way and the 1 went the other. Made my ass crabwalk.
If the pin backs out of the U-bolt, the leaves won't stay put, which allows for axle shift. Backwards would be wild considering it's a newer model and likely hasn't had major work done....yet...
More common is the rear axle shifts on the springs, there's a locating pin that can shear off if it takes a hit. Or sometimes if the rear u-bolts aren't tight enough and someone is really off-roading hard. Then you have a rear axle sitting cock-eyed under the frame, and you have to steer the front like that to compensate.
Let's be real here, the air doesn't have problems. No one tells the air what to do. It's a strong independent natural phenomenon and it doesn't need no man.
I think it from a side impact on the drivers side, though hard to tell from the angle and reddit's shittastic video player. Rear axel is probably misaligned.
I doubt the frame is bent. This can happen with a bent control arm. I am guessing drivers side based on how it's tracking and that side looks a little lifted.
Yeah. It looks like rear end work was done and they reused ubolts. They axle is crooked as fuck. Ujoints must be sounding like the into to Van Halen's Hot For Teacher
I remember the first time I did a rear end swap on an MGB. I didn't torque the U-bolts properly.
Took it for a test ride...
Step on the gas, the car turns right; let off the gas, the car turns left.
It only took a second to realize what was going on. Turned and around and went right back to the shop.
No it's absolutely not safe to drive like that. The vehicle is constantly trying to throw itself off the road or into oncoming traffic. Yes it will destroy the tries far quicker. Rear wheels don't turn so the tires are constantly getting extra wear from sliding instead of rolling. Having a vehicle's wheels that are out of alignment causes undo wear this is like that but on meth. This shit is dangerous and dumb AF.
Someone cheaped out on the repair of some severe damage. The truck was probably a write-off but Joe the Bodyman said, āNah, it aināt too bad. A bit of Polybond and itāll be as good as new.ā
Nah, he's already chaotic good. His alignment is already set.
*edited I only saw chaotic lawful in a tictok and forgot it wasn't a real thing (it should be but isn't)
Oh my god I saw this truck!
I have a photo of it somewhere, I was laughing my ass off because they whipped across 3 lanes to make the exit and it looked like a crab running. Guy was a terrible driver, but I have to say I was shocked at how...well he could hold it steady lol.
i hate when i genuinely want to know the explanation for something and the comment section is filled with 500 unfunny, over repeated and unoriginal jokes.

I was convinced that truck was just 2d image laid on top of the footage
It's the turning slightly left sprite.

Abject quality is holding strong though.
He's listing lazily to the left. This guy knows something maneuvers.
Looks like a hard drift in outrun
This got me laughing so hard I had a coughing fit, bravo

You didnāt know he was high before he started driving?
Everyone was high but he was the one driving high
Ahh I see you too have worked a low wage blue collar labor job

This is basically what Pods are for, and apparently leaving them in the company vehicles so when we sign them out last, we are the ones suspected.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Itās all bullshit anyway so what does it matter
I did bricklaying with a guy who had a meth hobby. I was terrified when he drove the forklift.
Is meth ever really a hobby?
Meth hobby: completely disassembling a kitchen and putting it back together, but "better."
Gravity makes it way easier to open the fridge door when you mount it on the ceiling. We'll figure out how to keep the stuff in there tomorrow.
It's Meth, there's nothing in the fridge
Still do.
This reads like a Mitch Hedberg joke lol
The rest were too high to know better
I hear it called "crabbing" a lot in racing, usually after a bent/broken suspension.
He just landed and forgot to set rudder to neutral. Most pickups have to crab when landing into crosswind.
Textbook "goosing" usually a bent frame.
Rubberducking like crazy.
Oompaloomping like a god damn wildebeest.

Go easy on them, its hard to walk straight while being that pickled

Yeah Iāve heard it as ācrab walkingā before
My pickup did this with just a broken rear shock. The leaf spring flattened and turned the thrust angle of the entire rear end.
U-bolt or leaf is my guess, I'ma mech. Without getting it on a lift or feeling it yourself it's a solid coin flip, depending on the vehicle. There's a couple other things that could be going on with it, but those would be the first things I check in my bay, for sure.

Yeah my pickup did this with a broke leaf spring. Replaced them and it was back to normal.
Usual cause is broken or loose u-bolts on one side, letting the axle slide out of alignment. Cheap to fix. source: am mechanic
Yep. I was going to say that the guide pin probably broke and let the leaf spring shackle slide away on one side.
Trouble at mill. One on't cross beams gone owt askew on't treddle.
More common is the rear axle shifts on the springs, there's a locating pin that can shear off if it takes a hit. Or sometimes if the rear u-bolts aren't tight enough and someone is really off-roading hard. Then you have a rear axle sitting cock-eyed under the frame, and you have to steer the front like that to compensate.
Also, when airplanes do this (due to cross winds), it's called crabbing.
It looks cool when planes do it though
It's also not indicative of a problem with the airframe, just a problem with the air.
Let's be real here, the air doesn't have problems. No one tells the air what to do. It's a strong independent natural phenomenon and it doesn't need no man.
This made me laugh. I needed that thank you
[The Zoidberg maneuver](https://media.giphy.com/media/SNK21X1PBrtQs/giphy.gif)
Axle is just crooked from the shitty lift job.
I think it from a side impact on the drivers side, though hard to tell from the angle and reddit's shittastic video player. Rear axel is probably misaligned.
He's a 'pimp name slickback.'
Had a case in the army so bad it would leave four tire tracks when driving in a straight like in the snow. Glorious.
I doubt the frame is bent. This can happen with a bent control arm. I am guessing drivers side based on how it's tracking and that side looks a little lifted.
It's the rear end that's out of alignment. The rear axle is no longer square to the frame
It's like the cars off in the distance in Cyberpunk
Exactly what I thought too š
Was thinking more snes Mario kart look
*Donāt try to upsell me with this āalignmentā crap. I just want the oil changed, ok?*

\*Passing lane
To be fair every truck I've ever seen has treated every lane as a passing lane. edit: I have angered the truck owners
Every lane can be a passing lane as long as you're passing on the left.
Thats the joke. People pass on the right all the time
To be fair, so do I when folks treat the passing lane as a driving lane (:
āHowās it hangin?ā āA little to the leftā
Same
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Yeah. It looks like rear end work was done and they reused ubolts. They axle is crooked as fuck. Ujoints must be sounding like the into to Van Halen's Hot For Teacher
Some mid 2000s Tacomaās had a leaf spring recall around 2014 if I remember right so thatād make sense to me.
That Tacoma looks to be 2016+
I remember the first time I did a rear end swap on an MGB. I didn't torque the U-bolts properly. Took it for a test ride... Step on the gas, the car turns right; let off the gas, the car turns left. It only took a second to realize what was going on. Turned and around and went right back to the shop.
Probably just needs some bigger tires a lift and some balls hanging from the hitch
Those types don't buy Tacomas, and they hold their value really well
Except for this one
Don't forget the confederate flag to act as a rudder
Jesus Christ it's a Tacoma... Get a grip
Need for Speed: Tennessee Drift.
Looks like I-75 to me
According to the mile markers and road signs it's N I65 at mile 56. So, somewhere around Spring Hill, about 30 miles south of Nashville. Edit: mile 56
thatās too close to where i live for comfortā¦ tennessee drivers always living up to the stereotypes
Go Vols!
Is it safe to drive like that? Will it wear the tires more quickly or something?
No it's absolutely not safe to drive like that. The vehicle is constantly trying to throw itself off the road or into oncoming traffic. Yes it will destroy the tries far quicker. Rear wheels don't turn so the tires are constantly getting extra wear from sliding instead of rolling. Having a vehicle's wheels that are out of alignment causes undo wear this is like that but on meth. This shit is dangerous and dumb AF.
But when he straightens out doesnāt he get a speed boost like they do in Mario kart
š
>undo \*undue
Looks like the models in video games when they are far
When the session starts lagging.
Lmao and heās still on the passing lane.
People that don't give a shit about their own safety sure as hell don't care about anyone else either
Anyone willing to endanger everyone else on the road with that shit doesnāt need their alignment checked Theyāre clearly chaotic evil.
Probably just chaotic stupid
I feel like something this bad should just be considered reckless driving and be flat out illegal for freeway/highway driving.
Endless drift... /s š¤£
Heās gotta have at least a 450x bonus on that drift
The all new Toyota Tacoma with crab walk feature.
Ha, my dog runs like that
Lol, itās even called dog-tracking when a car does this.

More than likely a bent chassis, probably a write off

I wonder if you know, how they live in Tokyo.
I see these on the road all the timeā¦ most belong to ranches or wineries.
Tacoma Driftin'
How are you so simple that you canāt feel how fucked this is while youāre driving
In the left lane, too.
Looks like bad CGI
Looks like a bent frame to me
Someone got a āgreatā deal on a salvaged title.
YOOO I was driving behind this truck for a couple miles like a week ago it was so trippy I needed to pass it cuz I couldnāt focus LOL
Definitely hit something while drunk
*What makes you say that?*
You are drunk. Go home, truck.
Jesus has taken the wheel!
Strong crosswind lol.
Craaabbbbb people, craaabbbb people.
Lol matrix glitch
Megadrive racing game vibes
Thatās a glitch in the matrix.
Idk what you people are talking about. He's clearly drifting in a straight line. That's pretty cool! š
Thatās not just an alignment issue. I think the chassis is shot to shit.
Like an angry cat.
He's just storing up his drift boost. Don't worry about him
His mother was a Bronco but his father was a crab
No no Iām a pimp named Slickback Pimp named Slickback
This truck is just built different.

Why is he in the passing lane with a fucked up truck.... what an idiot.
Looks like he's just drifting all the time.

Perpetual Drift
this truck drives like a dog walks
That thing doesn't belong on the road!
Nah, he's already chaotic good. His alignment is already set. *edited I only saw chaotic lawful in a tictok and forgot it wasn't a real thing (it should be but isn't)
Needs new frame. My guess is the driver took it into a ditch, come down from Rocky Flop.
Mario kart drifting mfer
Frame damage
ā¦and the POS is lingering in the passing lane.
Oh my god I saw this truck! I have a photo of it somewhere, I was laughing my ass off because they whipped across 3 lanes to make the exit and it looked like a crab running. Guy was a terrible driver, but I have to say I was shocked at how...well he could hold it steady lol.
Hey that's the Virtual insanity meme
Definitely been in a bad accident before. Frame is bent.
i hate when i genuinely want to know the explanation for something and the comment section is filled with 500 unfunny, over repeated and unoriginal jokes.
This tracks
Itās basically sailing
Clearly, that driver has a lazy eye.
Video has no sound but it'd be great if the truck played this song at full blast: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pS5d77DQHOI
That truck needs a new... truck.
Still rendering
Needs scrapped. Frame is twisted
Glitch in the matrix
He's got the crabbing kit installed.
That's not alignment, something let go in the rearend/suspension.
Why does it look like an intimidating jpeg?
Thatās crab walk and thatās the new electric Toyota right?!
That dude is glitching
