Maybe he didn’t have a spare and had to get to the tire place and that was the only way. Or he stole that, but didn’t manage to steal a tire.

It’s not failed! It’s for training how to drive on ice. There are courses with such cars in Poland.

That as said, is a Skid Control driving vehicle.

In many parts of the Northern USA and Canada, driving schools are required to have access (Either own or rent) to those types of vehicles.

I know what your talking about but this isn’t it. Those brackets have a swept back design so that they automatically turn wherever the main mass is moving to, they also have two peices where they mount to the car to allow them to spin 360. This is mounted direct to the axel and has straight brackets. It is jury rigging at a level I hope to someday master.

Only felt the need to add this as people latched on to what you said as a fact rather than sarcasm. And dagnabbit those people on the internet always need to be told when their wrong.

The only ones failing here are people commenting. Like Buczas wrote the “shopping cart wheels” are attached to the FWD car, to make car unstable, and simulate driving on slippery surfaces, where back slides and you can only controll the car with front wheels, and the throttle. It’s an advanced driving learning, but hey: how would the americans with their idiotproof straight-only roads know about it…

I agree, engineering win. If I saw that I would wait for the owner to come back just to tell them how awesome it looks…. Imagine, all four wheels like that…. Car design win.

Buczas is right, they are used to simulate skidding on ice.

This one only proves that german cars are way too much high-tech for americans.

By: Buczas

Buczas — Fri, 21 Mar 2008 13:29:44 +0000

that’s an ‘upgrade’ for practicing driving on a slippery surface (ice). They act like shopcart’s wheels, thus simulate a skid.

Had a rental once with a 12″ wheel and the tire had about the same tread width as the photo. Scared to death on the highway.

As Ralph Nader would say “that would be unsafe at any speed.” Then he’d say “vote for me.”
