Ahh, no. You just learned the wrong way... "One of the most important reasons to avoid brake line compression fittings is their tendency to crack under extreme pressure, which will inevitably lead to brake system failure. Second, the law in your state might prohibit the use of these fittings for brake line repair.-Feb 20, 2014" You are suppose to buy a flare kit and replace a portion of the line with another steel line and flared joints.
I’m curious, which cities do you live in? To add my city has awful roads, but they installed suspension killers in rows of 3 which are pretty harsh, some aluminum bump spheres that become soap bars when wet (extremely dangerous) and some are humps that scrape most cars. The very best are the level pedestrian crossings that get hollowed out so they become a huge danger for pedestrians
We had some concrete bumps that were like cut off pyramids. Anything more than 10 mph was impossible. People were wrecking wheels, tyres not to mention springs etc. There was uproar until the local officials took them out. Even then the excuse was ambulances not being able to fight though the traffic jams.
@Atix Zyft lol.. come to Indonesia, you'll find a square and pyramid shaped speed bumps with many high variants made of concrete or wood based shit. With at least 5.5 inch high and 5.5 inch width. What an insane wheel disaligner
When I was a rookie cop, my trainer was driving down a street notorious for big ass speed bumps. We were on our way to a high priority call and he was hauling ass in the Crown Vic and my scared ass was like “speed bump”... He laughed and hit that bump at about 60...smooth as butter lol... Changed my life that day hahaha. I enjoyed showing that trick to other new officers 🤣
The most important is how much of side wall your tire has. So ye, crown vic. are very capable to go through it without too much dmg. But still a risk to blow up a shock absorber, break suspension and so on.
Shawn Corey Rosenburg It depends they are good cars great engine, but yeah they can be pretty loose. I would stick with former highway patrol cars, rather than city police cars.
This one was pretty fun except for the heat, maybe the next video I should build some sort of rocket launcher like a flat earth guy, and launch this car from Chicago straight to your farm, The way it looks that might not even damage the suspension on this car..lol. as for the merch, thank you, I was sort of forced to do it because of some external issues with some of my designs, but I'll tell you more about that when I talk to you on the phone one of these days.

How was my exact thought when I saw the footage, I was like damn that's a lot of energy built up in that car. Same thing when I did the brake test, I was like the car was on skis.
You used the wrong car for the test I'm sorry to report. Those German lux cars soak up bumps so well it chewed up and spat out that speed bump like it was an empty soda can. Look at the slo mo shots.... All that really moves are the wheels/tires, the impact is well isolated away from the body and frame. Next time use a car like my wife's car, she has a 2019 Mitsubishi Mirage G4. Although you would have needed a lot more runway to get to 80, the first run would have probably removed all 4 wheels off the car and it would have been F'ing spectacular. Twice as many views bro.
@@justacinnamonbun8658 You´re right, it´s the wrong car. He uses an Mercedes E-class W211 with Airmatic! One of Mercedes best suspensions. He should have used an normal car without air suspension and normal shock absobers
Idk man, it might be more robust because it didn’t break yet but I’m quite certain most modern vehicles would be able to go over such a bump at high speeds with nothing happening.
John Possum I live in Germany and drive a ford lol. Maybe German brands do better, but I’m on vacation and stayed in a house where a gravel road leads to which is littered with holes (like three besides each other and that every 20cm-1.5m). I have tried different speeds and tactics to avoid them and have figured out that going fast in 2nd gear (~25-35km/h) and trying to miss as many as possible is smoother and feels less violent than going 10 in 1st gear and trying to miss all. What I’m trying to say is that going faster always makes potholes less significant, and it’s impossible to say for sure what car does better without a direct comparison over long time. And other brands do fine too
Our 2005 BMW M3 is in excellent condition, but it is old and has few miles. I rarely feel the bumps on the roads of California, and THAT is German engineering in full effect
When I've driven Mercedes in the past, I felt like I was driving a waterbed. After seeing this video I am very impressed with their suspension. I think my Porsche Boxster would have been airborne hitting those that fast.
@@i1chy all the mercedes that have won thousands of races have entered the chat. The lx platform has great responsive ness and handling. Most people just dont know how to drive them. It takes a lot of practice and effort compared to a much lighter car.
Thank you, many people have recently told me that it looks like a movie, so I've been trying to make it a little bit more amateur now, it's just hard for me because well it's what I'm good at, I'm not good at the whole RUclips style.
@@WarpedYT Yeah and it takes dedication and time for such quality. I saw a while ago that you got injured filming this and I've been waiting since then. I was concerned as to *what* injured you. Keep it up!
@@squarepotatoe thank you, I think I saw where I got injured during the breaking test, if you watch the slow-motion footage very closely the driver side tire was tearing up the asphalt and the speed bump because of the intense heat created. And even though in the slow-motion footage it looks slow I was actually moving at very high speed.
So long story short: Speed bumps only affect law-abiding citizens who drive under the speed limit, and people who speed over them don't even feel them. Seems pretty fair, right.
Brandoxic In general sports cars have shorter range in suspension due to lower car height. So these road bump would upset “expensive” suspensions more than regular suspensions since they’re not designed to absorb much impact. So no, they don’t “take it like a champ” dude.
My friend, that first hump is not a speed bump by the majority of countries' standards. Come to Mexico and try the speed bumps we have here, you will have so much fun!!
@@WarpedYT yeah that's the point. In total it might be more than 30-40 times you "abused" this car. I would've bet that it would be dead by now, I though all the parts are falling off and suspension completely breaks. Turns out that didn't happen. So you have a lot of work to do in future to finally find the limits of the car and eventually break it. (Means thank you for your great entertaining videos, I am really excited when I see another video came out. Thumbs up and greetings from Germany, home of Speedbump-immune pieces of engineering. ^^)
@@slohachi6433 Well that is a point, but it is not really the fault of Mercedes, but of the (previous) owner. If he had taken this car to the Service every 1-2 years, the Mercedes Mechanics would have found that for sure and replaced it before any danger comes up. However I think the previous owner didn't care about maintenance at all, and this is the result. Luckily over here in Europe an indepentent technical checkup every 2 years (TÜV/MOT) is required by law, so accidents due to rusty brake lines or sth like that aren't that much of a thing.
New brakeline should be able to handle 1800-3000 psi maybe more. Rust is a break in the outside surface of the line. Less surface tension, that's where it's going to pop. Never do brake stands in a 3rd gen Camaro. You will become familiar with this phenomenon.
@@WarpedYT did you use a compression fitting to repair the brake line ? they are not allowed hete in Ireland , the car would fail its annual road worthiness test if they were used on any pipe on the braking system , pipes must be flared at each end and joined using nuts and socket type joiners , 👍👍
Ha! This totally reminds me of a story... Ironically, while driving in Chicago (this guy's in Chicago I understand) on vacation a long time ago, I was in a rental with the wife and friend. We were cruising the freeway in the left lane when a 4 X 4 appears up ahead. 70 mph and not a chance in hell of ANY evasive maneuver. No room, too fast, appeared to quickly. So I did what I knew to do: hold the wheel straight, let off the gas and stay AWAY from the brakes. I prepared for "impact" with heart going wild: "Oh crap, this won't be good!" Just a minor "Bump, bump" was all there was. Then I was SURE we'd have two flat left tires. Nope. Got off at the nearest opportunity expecting two dented or damaged wheels. Nope, not a scratch. Car was fine. (Funny though how I happened to forget mentioning nailing a four by four on the freeway when I returned the vehicle... :) Amazing how well auto suspension works. What one would expect would cause major failure and catastrophe was hardly a bump in the road at all. I was impressed.
15:45 The rain drops are not vaporised, but just split into small pieces. It's not because of air pressure but because of air movement, that breaks water surface tension.
what's remarkable in all these videos is not just that the suspension doesn't self destruct but how arrow straight the car continues travelling. The driver is not moved even a milimetre. That's some crazy body integrity and suspension tune.
Just some info for you; this style of bump is called a speed hump in a few places (Aust and UK at least) and can be traversed at a reasonably high speed (for emergency vehicle use), a speed bump is far more aggressive: solid steel or concrete at a 45 degree slope, pop tyre territory at >80km/h (ask me how I know).
Well there's a new episode idea right there, hitting steel speed bumps at 80 miles per hour. Although I still have a feeling that the outcome will be very similar.
@@WarpedYT Yeah...somehow I doubt it. I hit a concrete speed bump at 40..50 mph because I wasn't paying attention and I felt my spine going into my brain :)). And I was driving a 2010 Bmw. While the video was cool....the rubber/sponge like bump is a whole different thing than the real life concrete bumps we encounter here in the EU. And here the speed bumps are way longer.
@Jack Price we also have such speed bumps here in denmark, i accidentially hit one at 70km/h (44mph) and i scraped the oil pan and the car almost went flying xD
*I just lowered the price because $20 IMO is too expensive 07-23* Check out the t-shirts I made for this episode, tell me what you think!! And buy one if you dare to wear. teespring.com/shop/see-thru-car-shirt-print-on-front
My friend's dad was a fire chief who drove around in the fire chief SUV. He was responding code 3 to a fire and was doing about 80 on an expressway when he went through an intersection. An intersection with a cross street with high crown. His vehicle launched airborne and flew through the air about a hundred feet and when he landed, he broke the frame of the SUV. But he didn't crash. He slowed down a little bit after that!
Could you redo this, but with a low budget lightweight car. Eg. Toyota Yaris/Suzuki Swift they weight just 1 ton. I personally had different outcome, the cars front end did some serious airtime & made my head hit the roof 😅 note: it happened at just 50 mph
These videos really show how effective the spring damping is in these systems. If you really wanted shit to get wild you could drain all the oil/ gas out of the dampers. It would probably loose it even at 40mph
As a former taxi driver, living in the Netherlands where speedbumps are very common (and more intense than the one you used), I already knew this; speed up when you encounter a speedbump!
Great! This was one of the 3 or 4 fundamental tips my uncle gave me when I was 16. Happily I never forgot his words, so I always break then release before hitting a stop “mountain” bumps around here.
Brake line broke probably cause of the amount of stopping pressure you applied which normally would be fine but that was a pretty rusted line so it probably couldn’t handle the pressure
Here's my immediate attention grabber: I observed the wheels following the contour of the surface of the bump better than when the wheels were spinning. Without the gyroscopic effects of spinning, the static wheels had less inertial resistance to change and moved quicker, thus staying in contact with the road! Cool...
"as you can see we are litteraly in the middle of nowhere" **sees cars parked next to the road** seems legit haha, great video tho, amazing to see how well the suspension in that mercedes works
Impressed with the suspension on the Mercedes Benz and the fact it didn’t rely on a low brake fluid reservoir to flash the brake warning light. They are good cars. Probably not worth price tag but they are good cars.
@@michelangeloboldri9893 A W211 doesen´t rust anymore, Mercedes solved this. The previous model W210 had a really bad rust problem, yes. Greetings from germany
@@brendanfarthing The car did get airborne a few inches on the first set of speed bumps. This means it maxed it out at such an impact and there can be weakened suspension components that may show up later.
thank you for the loudness warnings, applied thoughtfully tho your volume was very consistent. I subbed because you obviously gaf about your audience. other content creators should follow suit.
This is an excellent lesson in momentum and moment of inertia. The car body BARELY moves, but the suspension does its job admirably. Low suspended mass moves easily while the rest of the car's body and everything stays almost perfectly still. No helmet, gloves, moto jacket or other PPE while doing this with no doors? You crazy, brah!
I was looking to see if anyone would bring this up. I agree, but considering this car is clearly for crazy testing things I might do the same. Not for a regular driving car though.
Reminds me when driving in Africa, where the"road" is like corrugated sheet.., and you know that you have to drive at more than 50 mph or, you break the car..!! After a certain speed, kinetic energy make you "fly" over the bumps...!! But never decelerate ..!!! Thanks mate.
That's a car designed to handle 100mph+ on the autobahns, anything that comes under the wheels at those speeds it just road rolls over :) What was the reaction of the owner of the car once they got it back ?
These speed bumps are pretty low. I've seen speed bumps 4 times higher than that in other countries. If you do that in a higher one your suspension is not gonna hold, it's gonna be ugly.
I thought it was going to be a real speed bump created by DOT. You will seriously feel a real DOT speed bump. My friend tried it on a real DOT speed bump and lost his entire back-end....LOL This was a cool video though fun to watch.... (subbing) :)
Great video mate, really interesting to see the flex/wobble of the wheels, tyres and suspension. Funny enough I have the same two cars featured in some of your videos. 2002 E240 and 2004 E320. Small world!! I really hate the speed bumps here in Melbourne, Australia. They are in nearly every street and some of them are like driving cross country with cobble stones in them, however they're very effective at slowing people down where they shouldn't speed just out of common sense but what do you do...some people are just too slow to work that one out. Peace brother

Ask a truck company to drive over it while hauling sand a coule of times. Let them brake just before the bump. Will be smooth in a couple of runs.

Well there's a new episode idea right there, hitting steel speed bumps at 80 miles per hour. Although I still have a feeling that the outcome will be very similar.
@@WarpedYT Yeah...somehow I doubt it. I hit a concrete speed bump at 40..50 mph because I wasn't paying attention and I felt my spine going into my brain :)). And I was driving a 2010 Bmw. While the video was cool....the rubber/sponge like bump is a whole different thing than the real life concrete bumps we encounter here in the EU. And here the speed bumps are way longer.
How do you know?
@Jack Price we also have such speed bumps here in denmark, i accidentially hit one at 70km/h (44mph) and i scraped the oil pan and the car almost went flying xD
@@Catani84 I'm going to have to make one for the next episode, please send me picts.
*I just lowered the price because $20 IMO is too expensive 07-23* Check out the t-shirts I made for this episode, tell me what you think!! And buy one if you dare to wear. teespring.com/shop/see-thru-car-shirt-print-on-front
@music vlogs good idea
Do u ship it to India???
He's disabled the airbags right?
@@SerratedPVP no, only one is disabled from a previous video
Yes I believe so
My friend's dad was a fire chief who drove around in the fire chief SUV. He was responding code 3 to a fire and was doing about 80 on an expressway when he went through an intersection. An intersection with a cross street with high crown. His vehicle launched airborne and flew through the air about a hundred feet and when he landed, he broke the frame of the SUV. But he didn't crash. He slowed down a little bit after that!
Could you redo this, but with a low budget lightweight car. Eg. Toyota Yaris/Suzuki Swift they weight just 1 ton.
I personally had different outcome, the cars front end did some serious airtime & made my head hit the roof 😅
note: it happened at just 50 mph
its not about the weight but rgw suspension.
6:13 my man's saying "fAAAAAntastic !" meanwhile errors are showing like there's no tommorow
Cars show every error when you turn them on. If an error is there, it'll stay. Otherwise it just cycles through
It’s because it’s trying to find the parts and modules that are missing due to parts being removed
These videos really show how effective the spring damping is in these systems. If you really wanted shit to get wild you could drain all the oil/ gas out of the dampers. It would probably loose it even at 40mph
England: That's Not a Speed Bump *Hold My Beer*
Don’t you mean tea
Ben Muffett British in fact drink a lot of beer 🍺
Ireland: relates to England. That's not a speed bump, the speed bumps here would rip the wheels off your car and buckle your chassis at that speed! 😁
Exactlyyyyyyy
French ones too. These are a joke.
As a former taxi driver, living in the Netherlands where speedbumps are very common (and more intense than the one you used), I already knew this; speed up when you encounter a speedbump!
Plus all the extra change you shake out of your passengers. Some might even pay extra to get out earlier
The production quality is seriously good. Keep it up.
You need to go 88 mph to time travel 😂
Oh I get it now....🤦♂️back to the future
Thats not speedbumps😂 more like “a pebble” on the road. Come to Denmark and try our speedbumps at 80, and you will suddenly know how a car flies😁
Same in Canada. Here speedbumps destroy cars that follow speed limit
Same here in Brazil, just search for "Siena voador Brasil" on RUclips and you will see. Lol
or the ones in Mexico
In India, engine leaves the chassis in 20% cases 😏 and we have to wrap the car in the truck 🤷♂️
gcaitube1 in Mexico the whole road is a speed bump. Haha.
You should put one of those seats with 3 point harnesses in that car
5 point is the 2 shoulder and 2 side and one through the legs
Yeah but I honestly don't feel the need, that would be cool and all but it feels pretty safe to me.
Shit idk man that’s 80mph and those buildings are gonna move out the way lop
@@WarpedYT What engine is in the E class? Sounds insane with the big dirty air filter
Good job Warped Perception!
Also that Mercedes is a more than a bulletproof car... nice man
Great! This was one of the 3 or 4 fundamental tips my uncle gave me when I was 16. Happily I never forgot his words, so I always break then release before hitting a stop “mountain” bumps around here.
What a great suspension. The car was completely level going over the speed bump.
Pneumatyczne suspension is great... until you need to repair - fix it. It will cost more than whole vehicle is worth.
Anytime you see your brake fluid level low there is only two reasons one your brake shoes are low or you have a leak
Brake line broke probably cause of the amount of stopping pressure you applied which normally would be fine but that was a pretty rusted line so it probably couldn’t handle the pressure
Calls that speedbump
Me an indian: so cute
We dont neeed those we have our homie aka potholes
Thats expressway here
Indians dont even have tires. They use children wrapped around the rim
@@Jobanivrodnachui not everyone is Salman Khan
🤣Was going to comment same 🤣like we dont even slow down for those speed bumps our speedbumps are ment to destroy
The faster you go, the less effect a speed bump has. Love it
Here's my immediate attention grabber: I observed the wheels following the contour of the surface of the bump better than when the wheels were spinning. Without the gyroscopic effects of spinning, the static wheels had less inertial resistance to change and moved quicker, thus staying in contact with the road! Cool...
Must be something wrong with the anti lock breaks for it to be locking up the way that it is
He must have it turned off or disconnected.... cuz the traction control wasnt working either
@@erminskalejs2913 He probably pulled the ABS/ESC/ESP/Traction fuse, so it makes sense why it isn't working.
"as you can see we are litteraly in the middle of nowhere" **sees cars parked next to the road** seems legit haha, great video tho, amazing to see how well the suspension in that mercedes works
Impressed with the suspension on the Mercedes Benz and the fact it didn’t rely on a low brake fluid reservoir to flash the brake warning light. They are good cars. Probably not worth price tag but they are good cars.
this channel is gonna reach million in a month
Children in Africa could go to school in this Merc
Kids in Africa could've eaten that car
I drive this type of car! Never expected that it is SO tough!!!
Greetings from germany
It’s just as tough as any... an 80 Yugo ( if it’s not rusted on the sills) would go over that.
@@michelangeloboldri9893 A W211 doesen´t rust anymore, Mercedes solved this.
The previous model W210 had a really bad rust problem, yes.
Greetings from germany
Do hit speed bump with different of tyre pressure, advenage, softest, and hardest.
I like it that would be a really cool small video.
Glad I found this channel, this guy is bonkers and i love it-Australia
This guy was so rude, so xtreme and so nice too, I liked it, thanks for the vid :)
How did you manage to lock the tires when braking? The car has ABS on it.
Jbenner848 which makes the whole pray about flat spots moot.
turned off
Runs over somebody: must’ve been a pot hole 🤷🏻♂️
😂😂😂
"What did you learn from this video?"
Speed bumps can't effect you if you're fast enough
Unless the speed bump is higher than the travel of the suspension. Then watch the car get airborne.
@@brendanfarthing The car did get airborne a few inches on the first set of speed bumps. This means it maxed it out at such an impact and there can be weakened suspension components that may show up later.
thank you for the loudness warnings, applied thoughtfully tho your volume was very consistent. I subbed because you obviously gaf about your audience. other content creators should follow suit.
This is an excellent lesson in momentum and moment of inertia. The car body BARELY moves, but the suspension does its job admirably. Low suspended mass moves easily while the rest of the car's body and everything stays almost perfectly still.
No helmet, gloves, moto jacket or other PPE while doing this with no doors?
You crazy, brah!
Imagine someone blocking traffic so they can hit a speed bumb
bumb
Specialopsdave think he meant speed bum
@@ayabombay2178 lmao
I'd love to see what a lowered car would look like hitting a speed bump at 80mph. My old car was around 10cm off the ground and would scrape.
Busted radiator, airbag popping, those are what results with lowered cars hitting speedbumps.
@@arunmfive and that's at 10mph
Never, ever, use compression fittings on brake lines, they can pop off under the pressures your brake lines see.
I was looking to see if anyone would bring this up. I agree, but considering this car is clearly for crazy testing things I might do the same. Not for a regular driving car though.
Good job you picked up on that issue with the car. It’s clearly safe in every other way.
Tom hey, genius, I was telling everyone else not to use compression fittings on their brake lines
@@Tom-pb6vs lol
That package opening was hilarious! Opens box with stick. Knife in box!
Reminds me when driving in Africa, where the"road" is like corrugated sheet.., and you know that you have to drive at more than 50 mph or, you break the car..!! After a certain speed, kinetic energy make you "fly" over the bumps...!! But never decelerate ..!!! Thanks mate.
Baltimore: that’s not a speed bump hold my beer lmao
Baltimore roads ARE speed bumps 😄
"According to my calculations, when this baby hits 88mph your going to see some serious shit"

Not sure a depressed friend would enjoy getting a sharp knife as a gift😲
Damn bruh 😬
Your camera angles and sound are just amazing.
The Benz Handles the extremes like a BOSS!
9:01 THE CAR GOING LIKE "WEEEEEEEEEE...."
That's a car designed to handle 100mph+ on the autobahns, anything that comes under the wheels at those speeds it just road rolls over :)
What was the reaction of the owner of the car once they got it back ?
These speed bumps are pretty low. I've seen speed bumps 4 times higher than that in other countries. If you do that in a higher one your suspension is not gonna hold, it's gonna be ugly.
This guy seems like a nutcase. Subscribed.
The lightweight to the Mercedes is awesome!
I think you should also include SUVs or other body types in these tests to show how soft suspensions and the body-roll would react to stuff like this.
I legit thought he was trying to stop for the stop sign on the first try.....
Same here 😂
I feel like it's getting a little bit dangerous, let's mount a couple doors just in case
what impressed me most was how you fixed that brake line in two seconds. That was quite epic.
I thought it was going to be a real speed bump created by DOT.
You will seriously feel a real DOT speed bump. My friend tried it on a real DOT speed bump and lost his entire back-end....LOL
This was a cool video though fun to watch.... (subbing) :)
Repairs made after this video: Airmatic failure insert 4000€ here.
9:36 crazy to see how little the chassis moved, the suspension took it all
He just bunny hopped the car
Love the HPC! Great content.
New BeamNG graphics is looking amazing!
Lol.... Yes !
These are really small “speed bumps”, here in CO we got actual speed bumps.
That’s a Ontario Canada leak, rust and corrosion
Why the locked up, where abs was
I just wanna sleep but the recommended videos of yours keep grabbing my attention
Great video mate, really interesting to see the flex/wobble of the wheels, tyres and suspension.
Funny enough I have the same two cars featured in some of your videos. 2002 E240 and 2004 E320. Small world!!
I really hate the speed bumps here in Melbourne, Australia.
They are in nearly every street and some of them are like driving cross country with cobble stones in them, however they're very effective at slowing people down where they shouldn't speed just out of common sense but what do you do...some people are just too slow to work that one out.
Peace brother
Next video: Crush to a pole at 80MPH so that we can see what happens...
Hell yeah
2:14 look at dat bump steer or wiggle lol
I think this guy parked his Benz to close to the Chaz zone over night.
What the "Chaz zone"
That unboxing! Even doesn't matter what's inside, every other unboxing video could hide behind.
