Kraton Range Rover vs Kraton

[Rchrdjrz]

This past Memorial day weekend I had the great idea of building a ramp for my Kraton and outcast. It looked like something you would see at the skate park, I was so pleased with it. Anyways, I went for it on full throttle with the kraton and catastrophe hit. The ramp moved the instant the car went on it and it flew directly towards my wife's car (20ish ft away) I tried so desperately to steer it out of the way. But we all know that you cannot steer a car in mid air. So it lands right on my wife's Range Rover. It bent the side of the roof rail in two places and made a hole straight into the metal as well. It was centimeters from going straight through the glass roof top. Let's just say I'll be sleeping on the sofa for the next couple of days...

What happen to the kraton? Absolutely nothing, no broken parts or bends. The insurance will charge me a $500 deductible to get it fixed. But I'm not sure if my monthly insurance rate will go up as well.

Damn, what a Kraton! I'm surprised the car has so much damage while the Kraton is still asking for more.

 

[WoodiE]

@Rchrdjrz holy moly man. So many questions. Did you get a video? I can't believe it made that much of an initial impact but to see two more areas of serious damage to the Rover just is mind blowing.

If the Kraton did that to the Rover, what the heck did the Kraton look like after?!

Sorry no video, but my wife can definitely see the whole thing over and over and over again in her head. She was right outside when it happen. The two areas that have the big dents are the kraton tires hitting the range rover from up above flying through the air. The hole on the roof is from the pointy part of the chassis by the a-arms. Also the kraton had no damage whatsoever.

 

[Hypnotoad]

The tires did that? The stock tires?

 

[Rchrdjrz]

The tires did that? The stock tires?

Yeah the stock ones. Picture in your head the car flying in the air like 15ft high and about 20-25ft in distance. I went full throttle and the weight of the car moved the ramp and send the car flying sideways towards my wife's car.

The tires did that? The stock tires?

To be honest I'm glad it hit where it did. No broken glass roof top or door windows.

 

[Hypnotoad]

I can see that. I can imagine the look on your face when the ramp moved and the truck went the Other way.

Oh dude, I freaked and knew right away I was in trouble. The second the car hit my wife's car I felt like I had just woken up from a bad nightmare. Next thing I hear is my wife screaming and running towards her car. I got the silent treatment all day after that.

Hahalol funny. I did sleep in the living room for two nights to be honest. She was clearly upset for a couple of days after but now she's finally over it and just wants me to take care of it.

That's pretty dang impressive.

Be happy that it was a Karton and not a Nero!
What will happens if a Big Rock do such impact? Buy a new full scale car?
Never thought that such case could happens, so heavy damaging at the Rover....

 

[ParkRacing]

My wife hates my hobby already and I have never done anything like that. Sorry

 

[dpricenator]

My Kraton would have been in the trash or at least in multiple pieces. Not from the crash but from the wifey. I love her death, and she's 99% Angel, but oooohhh that 1%...

Hahalol, yeah I'm surprised my wife didn't make me sell my cars or brake them. I'm assuming because I'm the one that make the payments on her car.
