Was watching a vampire/lichen movie and one scene a car rammed the gate of a nice palace looking place. Seemed like a beefy gate but movie magic it went flying. In the movie Shooter, Walberg rams a chainlink gate and it breaks the chain holding it.

Of course in movies, car escape with no damage.

So, in real life have you ever needed to ram a gate? What was your reason and what was the vehicle damage?
 
my boxed and braced minimum 1/4" wall bumper and brush guard says fuck you and your gate :flipoff2: i even braced the fair lead :laughing:

"I was watching a vampire/lichen movie"? What are you a 14 year old girl? Why not just say you were spanking to the mentally challenged werewolf and the homo beta vampire on Twilight and quit trying to butch it up?

By the way lichen is a fungus.

Fawking coffee all over the place. Thank you. :laughing::laughing:
 
I know from experience as a passenger that a chain link fence will fuck up a late 90's ford escort pretty good.
 
I have seen it done a few times. If it is chained shut the chain or padlock breaks pretty easily. If the gate. Is well built and the padlock secures a rod or something it is almost impossible without destroying your car.
 
My old work had an F550 service truck stolen and apparently they rammed the gate to get out. Which worked :laughing:​​​​​​

I'd think a typical chain link gate would probably pop the latch or something. That hardware is beyond cheesy.

The big beefy gates usually have a pretty cheesy opener system, so depending on which way you hit it, it would probably bust open.
 
When I was in high school there was a dirt oilfield road just outside of town affectionately known as “roller coaster hill” was about a two mile loop of in the shape of a U with both ends on pavement. It’s called roller coaster because although it’s dead straight (except for the u turn at the west end) there isn’t a flat section on it. Us hicks would take our pickups and go jump them on this hilly road. It was private property and the land owner was sick of the kids hauling ass on his road. He put up gates on both ends of it. I’d been warned that he’s trapping people and having the sheriff come write tickets and even arrest people for trespassing.

At a party one night my friend is describing this jump fest to someone who’d never been. I volunteer as tribute to take this noob to send them into space. We load up 4 dudes in my 1964 Ford F100 single cab. It’s totally dark, so I drive past both ends of the roads and find both gates open. So I hit it in the good direction for flight first and sky the shit out of my DD to the screaming drunk delight of all my buddies. When we get to the end of the road to leave the area we find that the previously opened gate, is now locked shut. So I turn around and go back the other way now frantically jumping the shit out of my poor truck. When I get to the other gate, I find it is also locked shut. We’re all under age, and have all been drinking.

So I turn around one more time and back through the gate. Gate posts are recycled 3” steel oilfield pipe cemented into the ground. The gate is home made from 2” pipe and fence, one piece long gate spanning the whole road hinges on one side with a 1/2” logging chain locked with a combination lock on the other. I hit it as hard as I could because I didn’t want to be sitting there with a damaged truck still locked in. The side with the log chain held together. But the hinges broke swinging the gate out of the way. Without stopping we cop slide out onto the road and take off toward town driving like an angel now. We meet two sheriffs on their way out and they just keep going not suspecting we’re out. Make it back to the party and check the back of the truck to find mostly no damage. The trim rings around the tail lights are dented but both lenses and bulbs still working. Bumper unscathed and a small crease in the tailgate, tailgate still opens and closes just fine. Backing through that gate saved me from getting a DUI. I never went back but at least two other people in my class got arrested for DUI out there.
 
There is this small quarry here. The road leading to it is always empty, and full of lovely curves. Entering the quarry, the curves turn into tighter ones with dips and ups. G-forces and fun. One could catch an inch or two of air over a 20 foot section, it was amazingly fun to drive.

The idea is to come into there flying at 90mph, hard on the brakes and into the quarry. It loops around once, under a big crane / conveyor assembly and back out to the country road. Feels like a hollywood movie chase scene.
A friend and I found the place and enjoyed it for 3 hours until the gas was gone. Went home, smoked out and decided at three in the morning that we had to show it to a friend.

Alas, we come flying in at 90mph, and my friend say from the back seat: "Gate."
I didn't even register wtf he was trying to say. There was no gate in my mind.

Then I saw the gate. It was this humongous metal monster, sliding type. It was hidden behind trees in the afternoon.

I had about 4 seconds to do something or we would have been cheese grated and dead.

Hard braking in a corner, used the hand brake at 40 and drift slid into a tiny dirt frontage road thing.

My friend says: "So this is what you wanted to show me?"

"No ffs"

Not my best driving moment.

If that's what comes to mind from that statement you need to do some self assessment. You do know about the other series with Kate Beckinsale in a leather bodysuit right:confused:
 
drove through a fence in high school with a brush guard on

sure enough brush guard was shit and messed up my bumper and shit.
 
I'd think it would be easier to ram the chain link fence next to the gate. The wire tying the fencing to the post comes loose and you slide under the fencing as it peels from the various posts.

Why you calling us names? Youre the one spanking it to latex wearing dominatrix's getting banged by giant hairy man dogs. Ya perv. I think I wouldve kept the beastiality to myself and just copped to the mentally challenged beta homo vampdog stuff. Freakin weirdos.
 
When i was a kid i was riding with my sister, my dad had set post for a fence. We didn’t realize he pulled the bottom strand. It was dusk, didn’t see it, and she hit it in her shitbox car. It must have been a hell of a piece of wire, becuase it brought us to a hell of a stop. ( maybe she saw it at the last instant and slammed on the break as we were crossing the wire, but we took out the wire and came to a whiplash stop)
 
drove through a crap barbed wire fence, jacked the truck up but it went through.

A proper barbed wire fence is hard to get through.

No gates yet. I think you might make it through but not in the hollywood way.
 
This hill I used to take girls to at night "to see the city lights" had a dirt road, one night I get out there, and there's a chain and a padlock across it.

The chain had a lot of slack, i nosed the corner under the chain then drove under at an angle, chain rode up the windshield and would drop on top of the bed. It was pretty fucking smooth, I got to use that trick a few more times with excellent results :grinpimp:
 
I have not personally hit a gate but have witnessed it first hand on more than one night. On the same gate. Long story short, good times with bad friends. Civic was trashed well before the gate and shredded the bumper. The second time the gate folded much easier but removed the bumper and broke headlights in the process.
 
No but I did back my trailer into my buddies gate. Fucked the post up pretty good. I also backed the U4 car into his toyhauler.

I'm no longer allowed to put vehicles in reverse on his property.
