Fun trick last night

1. multi-lane road with no cars
2. 45mph and top down
3. stand up on your seat!

feels great, and you can still steer. butt support using the seat. Very safe, and recommended for everyone

hahhahahah

Standing on my seats??
No control over brakes??
Reenacting scenes from Titanic??

I'll pass, and take your word that is fun and "very safe".

There are no words to describe other than you are a twat and should have your licence removed.

About as safe as jumping off a cliff - I am simply astonished!!

Yeah, I guess it was like the Titanic, but without the happy ending

I'm joking about being safe, obviously.

All it takes is a split second to go from fun to disaster... One should always have control of their car.

As long as you don't hurt anyone but yourself and fund your own health insurance, do whatever you want.

Speaking of, how did you keep the car going straight?!?

you can steer using the top of the steering wheel. Passenger is a backup. And I only did it for about 5 seconds

Moron. Perpetuating the "BMW owners are A-Holes" myth. I'll be sure to give Warminster a wide berth every time I'm in the area, wouldn't want to be anywhere near you for you next 'fun' stunt.

I think you can stand tright up if you steer with your feet. Then you can put your arms up when you go down hills like a roller coaster!

Wow, what a group of crusty curmudgeons Dude obviosly stated he wasn't endangering anyone besides himself. He's survived natural selection long enough in life to own a Z4, so I am pretty confident he is atleast net neutral in contributing to the gene pool, maybe even slightly positive. What fun is life without a little risk vs reward.

What would be a drag (maybe shouldn't give any safety nannies the idea) is if it cut the throttle automatically when your butt left the seat, similar to my riding lawn mower.

And jumping off cliffs kicks a$s, especially if there is a big drop of water under you or a couple feet of powder freshies. You struck a personal chord on that one!

What reward??
Other than being ridiculed on a chat board?
Luckily, for the rest of us, it only takes one brief moment during one of these escapades for him to complete REMOVE himself from the gene pool. Hopefully, he won't take anyone else with him when he does.

I LOVE how offended everyone is, like I almost crashed into their home with the whole family inside. And yes, the youtube clip is a good example of how NOT to control your car. I actually got the inspiration from the mini vert commercial. I'm sorta an adrenaline guy. Skydiving, rollercoasters, freediving, stuff like that I love


I've also been contemplating getting an extra set of doors for the summer, ones I could remove most of the sheetmetal from, so I could get a more open cockpit feel

I am not offended but not the kind of risk that makes sense to me. I just don't get it.
