Default Vette burning the clutch has nothing on this guy

Just saw this, don't care if it's a repost or not this is insane. I have heard about it before but have never seen it.

Wow, that happened really quick. I'm surprised that it did all that damage without hurting anybody.

I'll say the same thing to the repost police here like I do on every site, Who cares if its a repost you dont need to comment about it as some people don't check the site everyday like you guys and some havent seen the video. There is no harm in a repost but some people make it out to be the worst thing ever
