Sledhead36 Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 Anybody know what is on the bottom of this car that looks like plywood? It is aluminum panels, that cover the whole bottom of the car. They are full of mud which is why they look like plywood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Pomade Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 BTW, I should have mentioned that I'm glad the Lambo owner wasn't hurt. Because I didn't, I should be labeled a horrible person. But I'm still a great dancer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes sense. I figured it was not plywood, it just looked out of place though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trouble Maker Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 If CTD presents themselves as an expert (whether or not they actually are) in their field then their advice is held to a higher standard (legally). If the car was made unsafe or unfit to drive by their recommendation and then crashed, they may be liable. An indemnity clause may help their situation, but it depends on how it is worded and even then sometimes those clauses are legally unenforceable. It really depends on the specific situation leading up to the crash. If the car would have reacted the same way with AWD, it doesn't matter. Driver error. If you take this logic to it's furthest end a tire shop wouldn't be able to put non-OEM tires on any car (with ESC), let alone any performance shop doing anything that alters the suspension, brake system or drive-train (including engine/power) characteristics of the car. That is without going through everything the OEM went through to verify the car as safe and meeting all regulations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mensan Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 That's why those manufacturers of standard wear items DO have testing and regulations similar to OEM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Pomade Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 I think we're missing the forest because of the trees. Well, that one Lambo didn't miss either, but I'm just saying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeitgeist57 Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 Thinking about CTD's "2,000hp" Lambo...even if it runs, I'd be surprised to hear that it makes 100 miles before Tweedle-Dee wraps it around a tree. CTD's RWD "conversion" doesn't seem to be well thought-out... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigOxley Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 Would the owner's insurance company have issue with him having the AWD disabled, I wonder? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sol740 Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 I probably wouldn't bring it up to them. That driveshaft must've been ripped clean off the car, thrown several hundred yards away, picked up by a homeless person, and sold for scrap before we even realized it was gone.

zeitgeist57 Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 Would the owner's insurance company have issue with him having the AWD disabled, I wonder? He probably kept the driveshaft zip-tied somewhere on the frame "just-in-case"... Witness: "HOLY SH*T MAN, I just saw you crash!!! Glad you're alright! THat was the most.....hey! What are you doing under there, dude? You're Lambo's trashed!" Tony: "STFU and hand me that front driveshaft, bro! I need to reattach it before the cops get here and make their report!!!"

Farkas Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 All I can say is that the cards will begin to stack up against CTD even more than they have previously. Non-running 2,000hp paperweight, Trashed block, and now a totaled Lambo because it was converted to RWD at the advice of retards. They may not be held liable, but nobody can deny where the idea had been planted in the owner's mind- CTD. It seems pretty evident they really have no idea what they're doing. Even their cosmetic suggestions are more than questionable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
