I watched it again and all I can think about was how that BMW driver probably wet himself after seeing that car blow up. I wouldn't be able to contain my laughter if something like that happened to me.

Hrmmm... I think Ill freerev until my limiter kicks in. Not a good idea.
Dumbass acts so suprised when his motor blows, he prolly beat that thing so bad. Its not that hard to take care of a motor and still have it run fast.

His friend is what really bugs me, hes just a doofus.

Sick. I hate four bangers. No life to them. I laughed so hard when it started makin noise after the light. And who hits the limiter so much anyway?? Jackass!

The "weird" nail the guy had was a coke nail to sniff cocaine. They are so disgusting.

nice nothing like seeing a dsm spitting parts... i thought for shure he was going to kill his trans im shocked that the blew the engine... why do people insist on doing dsm's they seem to be probalematic.. the dohc head, and the us market trannies alone.
hold on a tick... did it look to any one else that the rod cap came off like one of the studs broke loose... hummm ... the only way i could think that that would have happend is if they forgot to tighten it or there was an oiling probablem in that cylinder that caused that piston to seaze..... im just speculating at this point... poor bastard though that bits.... funny but bites... i love how the camra man knows nothing about cars... and this is a ... um.... engine ... piece (from the background) wrist pin..
