This car is actually specially modified for training and education purposes; it ha a similar wheel on the other side. I saw a video on drunk driving in driver’s ed; these (well, they were Ford Tauri instead of VW Golfs) to amplify the effects of drunk driving, with being stone-cold sober becoming the equivelent of having had a few drinks. The idea is that first participants in the study spend time learning how to drive one of these smoothly, and without losing control–it’s difficult, but doable with practice–in order to teach good driving skills in adverse conditions. Then, they would take a break. One group would take a several hour break and return to driving, and the other group was given alcoholic beverages—not enough to be legally drunk, but definitely on buzz.
The group that had been out of the car for a while had lost their touch a little bit, but regained driving competence within a short time. The group that had been drinking, however, could hardly operate the vehicle at all, let alone keep it from spinning out.
Unfortuneately, I can’t fnd a video of all this online.
Fantastic! I finished 18 pages, which completed the album! And I was able to score a nice nap in the sun in a hammock on Saturday. It was wonderful!

Of course, all Hell had broken loose at my house while I was gone. I did 3 loads of laundry before leaving for work at 7:30 this morning. Sheesh!
Hubby from birth until 1995 when we met. The next album will be all the extra wedding photos and stuff that aren’t in the rediculously-overpriced album from the photographer. Bridal shower, rehearsal dinner, wedding photos taken by other people, etc.
Hopefully it’s not one of those wheels that just spins around all over the place all willy-nilly, or tends to want to pull the car in one direction all the time.
For those interested in WTF this is, it’s a special car used in driving schools to teach students about the dangers of skidding on icy road. It has normal front wheels and rear wheels like these (freely moving in all directions), thus not needing actual icy road.
Sigh, the only fail here is people’s FAILURE to understand. they are used when the mechanic is waiting for parts, and it allows them to move the car around the lot. Another example of people not understanding what they are looking at and jumping to conclusions.
this isn’t actually much of a fail, i’m a vw mechanic and that’s a very help tool when you can’t put a rim on while doing axle work and you still wanna move the car rather than have a jack or a jack stand under it……
Small wheel in the back wheel palce is for simulation the uncontroll drift on ice to learn driving in that situation. its not Faill for me. ps. Sorry for bad english…
Creativity win!
No doubt! I love it.
Maybe it’s a new car design that got the boot?
STYLE win!!
I hope it wasn’t the one wheel that always shimmies.
Argh you beat me to it!
Yeah, I have a feeling this idea will be retread several times.
They’ll never tire of it, I’m afraid.
They’ll definitely wheel it along for quite some time.
What goes around, comes around.
*squeeze*
The wheels on the bus go round and round, round and round…
The wipers on the bus go swish swish swish, swish swish swish,
swish swish swish…
The speed at which these pun runs start always shocks me.
*notes electric car reference*
They require a certain suspension of disbelief.
Something about that car bug[gie]s me.
At least it doesn’t have an inflated ego.
Don’t tell me this pun run’s outta gas…
It went the wrong way down a one way.
Lets retyre it now then.
Or we could put it in reverse and start over.
Either way, it’ll need a retooling.
*puts pun run back in gear*
*spins cookies*
*heads off in strange direction*
Allow me to Leda WhoaNellie to the realization that Caster is near Bollux.
So is that your swan song, then??
This is a double post
It’s a Volkswagen with a pegleg – Captain Jack Rabbit.
I’m tyred of these puns
Quite a dish.
Horrible just horrible, I love it
OH! GET IT! THEY’LL NEVER…………. TIRE! OF IT!
XD!
I doubt that will hold very well… Plus it will make turning a pain in the butt.
If it didn’t shimmy before, I’m sure it does now.
That’s what she said.
With a HUUUUGE smile on her face
That’s what the dog said.
I heard she likes it rough.
You mean ruff, don’t you?
I think you are barking up the wrong tree.
Right, the cat is in another tree…
Who let the cat out of the bag?
Who let the dogs out?
Whoooooooooo are you? Who who – who who?
Pleased to meet you. Won’t you guess my name?
Say my name, say my name. When no one else is around you say baby I love you.
I’ve been through the desert on a horse with no name…
I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together.
In the naaame of love… one more in the name of love…
STOP in the name of love, WN! Before you break my heart.
Heart breaker! Dream maker!
Don’t dream it’s over, be a daydream believer instead.
Dream until your dreams come true.
You don’t have to dream it all just live a day
Don’t dream it – Be it.

That’s what the @$$ said.
they already had this one on page 186!!! failblog.org FAIL!
fail on my part! page 183 sorry
Hey your back and already in form,
*squeeze*
didja add the gold star for me? or was it a heart sticker I can’t remember.
It was a heart sticker. You can trade it for gold stars but I wouldn’t advise it.
Move away…
this is a repeat.
FAIL.
Yep, it’s on page 182. FailBlog FAIL.
I knew it!
FAIL!
ha, I thought I saw this before!!
The same as posted on mar. 14 2008

That picture is now twice in fail blog -.-*
A Shopping Cart Wheel
XD
That is an engineering marvel if that works!! I wanna see it in action!
That should really make parallel parking a lot easier.
…and braking an adventure.
You break it you bought it.
*break dances around FAILblog*
*breaks plates on the floor and dances* HEY!
HAY!! Take a break, velvet
HEY! That was my plate velvet!
Then dance with me around the borken plates! HEY!
*bukkit*
broken, not borken. I’m not the Swedish chef.
Hmmmmmmm – you been borken the plates again, you say?
That’s as likely to work as comments below this level are to nest.
Don’t be silly, of course comments will nest below this level… oh, wait a minute…
*pulls up a nest*
*jumps in*
*lies back and sips a triple shot white chocolate latte*
The comment breed of bird is very picky, it won’t nest just anywhere. Conditions have to be juuuust right – like Goldylocks’ porridge.
Yipper.
Of course, throw a coupla shots of tequila just about any damn where and I’m there
You love your tequila…
Velvet! How was your retreat?
Well, looks like she advanced again
Fantastic! I finished 18 pages, which completed the album! And I was able to score a nice nap in the sun in a hammock on Saturday. It was wonderful!
.
Of course, all Hell had broken loose at my house while I was gone. I did 3 loads of laundry before leaving for work at 7:30 this morning. Sheesh!
18 pages? You are my hero!
Did the album have a theme?
Hubby from birth until 1995 when we met. The next album will be all the extra wedding photos and stuff that aren’t in the rediculously-overpriced album from the photographer. Bridal shower, rehearsal dinner, wedding photos taken by other people, etc.
Most excellent!
Glad you enjoyed it.
Hubby!? Uh oh I better be careful!
Where is it specified that there is a floor in FAILBlog?
I doubt it would work. The forces and speed the wheel would be turning would rip it to shreads.
Oh ye of little faith. Stop the hate, JUST stop the hate!!
What does a dog know of driving, anyway? Go lay down, boy.
I may not know anything about driving, but I have a lot of experience ripping tires to shreds.
*high-fives jules*
An excellent point. Dogs DO know a lot about tires…
…and humping my leg.
I can’t help it if you smell good and you have to admit it is a nice leg.
*admires Jules’ taste*
I can has flavor?
pffft
Dogs will have thier days!
*removes superfluous ‘h’ and swaps ‘e’ & ‘r’ around*
But I am le tired. (reference bonus)
^ sparkling wordplay there boss
*tips hat*
Ya actually WN should of given you the appraisal before commenting my bad. Very well done.
well zen take a nap…AND ZEN FIRE ZE MIZZILES!
Meanwhile, Australia’s all like “WTF mate?”
But that’s nothing new
About that time, chap?
“WTF mate?”
“But they’ll die soon. F@#!ing kangaroos.”
Al gezien…
First a prosthetic leg, now a prosthetic tire?!…. LOL … WIN!
but can you drink out of it?
Flying car undercarriage test ?
That’s actually a preliminary model for a new shopping cart, so you don’t need to get your grocerys to the car anymore.
US citizen will love it!
“Citizen”? Are you saying out of several million people only one will love it?
And you are voted the one, GT.
Whew! I’m glad THAT vote is out of the way!
Next up: Best Username. I vote for WhoaNellie! Whoa, Nellie, it’s a good day to be WhoaNellie.

*Takes nap*

*is pissed and confused*
*sleeps*
If Obama loves it, everone loves it!
The ‘y’ which is missing here, is actually the ‘y’ that was used to spell groceries incorrectly.
Does this mean that there’s a shopping cart out there somewhere with one giant back wheel on it?
Mixup at the factory.
Grocery getter WIN
OLD.
VERY OLD.
Don’t be like that, Lala. I’m sure you’ve got a few good years left.
Well, maybe. Lookin’ kinda wrinkled, but he/she does get down with that rocker!
All it needs is one o’ them lil’ wheels, like on the car…
It took a bath in the fountain of youth.
Is that like a golden shower?
you could say that…
Oh oh. jules needs a tire again.
*runs off chasing rolling tire*
Hopefully it’s not one of those wheels that just spins around all over the place all willy-nilly, or tends to want to pull the car in one direction all the time.
Or, more appropriately stated, the “wheel that always shimmies”, as someone already said above.
*gives Sparky some attention*
Or the wheel that turns sideways and jams, so you have to back up a little to keep going forward.
*revels in the attention*
Hmmm i wonder how far that person can go without needing to replace another tire….
37.5 miles, plus or minus 5 feet, 3 inches.
And what the second replacement tire would be?
Exactly.
*uses daemon tolls and mounts .ISO*
tools
*catches virus from autorun*
*hands granny a hanky*

Why not Alcohol 120%?

Up the bum no Shane
Sorry Shane, just being mean, didn’t mean it, Monday you know
Awwwww, someones got a case of the Mondays.
*opens case*
*gives to all and sundry*
I just have one question for you….Deal or No Deal?
I choose ‘Negotiate’.
I’ve got a case of the Wednesdays. Strange, eh?
Indeed, but I here ‘The Wednesdays’ last two days less than ‘The Mondays’
*hear*..damit. I just HAD to f-up a response to Loz.
That’s a relief, I’m glad I don’t have the Mondays then!
Wednesday is ‘anything can happen’ day. I guess part of anything is happening on a Monday?
Well, I have it on good authority that nothing counts on Fridays.
Does too! I start vacation on Friday. One whole week away from the office.
Nothing suprises me anymore…..nothing.
sounds like a challenge
*doesn’t want to see where this will go*
Eeeeep!
*runs and hides from GCF*
*covers McFail’s eyes*
*covers WhoaNellie’s eyes*
OK, go ahead granny!!
We’ll wait in suspenders for it. I’ll get my Weetabix ready,
*quivers with anticip
ation*
I reckon Granny’s surprise is that he can warp time.
rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
what if we gave it spinners?
That’s not bad, when my tires wore out I just used a rolls of duct tape. They really stick to the road.
What a waste of good duct tape.
What a waste of a clever comment.
You’re too proud. My remark was not meant to take away from your comment.
And, as the king of brilliant uses for duct tape, your comments are never wasted.
*wraps you up in my arms*
*duct tapes Admiral & Dragon together*
Duct Tapes oohoo,
Tales of derring-do, bad and good luck tapes, oohoo
Not pony tapes or cotton tapes but Duct Tapes, oohoo!
What, did we completely run out of fails in the world, and having a second round of the existing ones? This was on here months ago… memory-fail
I never saw it, though I do remember a sponge substituted for a windshield wiper.
It’s probably property of the driving school. Don’t you guys train drifting there?
We teach drifting after DUI training.

This may be a car fail, but should be recognized as a shopping car win all over the world
I think this car is used to teach young drivers how to come back from over steer and when you loose control of your back end.
hehe … my one of the instructors got a challenge from the students to go and buy groceries if he could
BET WIN
typo my one == maybe one
… and some other typos
This granny lost control over her back end years ago
*roffles*
*waffles*
Were you under a steer at the time? Or over steer?

Alcohol is the more exciting way of simulating such scenarios.
thanks for ruining our shopping cart car joke dreams fuxoft
first time failblog failed me ;/
that’s not spare tire
this type of car is used to teach how to drive safely on slippery road
failed failblog
Dude, that is clearly photo shopped.
Only a skilled cartographer could pull that off.
REPETITION FAIL…
Indeed. failblog fail!!!!
they think we are dumbs or something
Nope, only I think you are dumbs.
who says it’s a spare?
People that don’t know what they are talking about
Failblog Fail. This was already an entry from last year, not all that too long ago either.
Lol it’s a shopping cart car
Hilarious. How does that even work?
Probably, the better question would be, “does it work?”
Made me LOL.
i’m farting
Do farts have lumps?
failblogs pics wont load

Failblog fail.
Currently page 184, but it’s gonna move.
“This has already been posted in this very same website. Please refer to March 14, 2008.”
That’s not a fail.
The wheel is supposed to be there. It simulates driving on slick, wet roads. It’s a training vehicle.
YOU ALL FAIL (except maybe few)
This car is used to teach drivers and/or students how the car behaves on icy road

this isn’t actually much of a fail, i’m a vw mechanic and that’s a very help tool when you can’t put a rim on while doing axle work and you still wanna move the car rather than have a jack or a jack stand under it……
