definately a repost, but still good. he just got on it, over corrected, and you can hear he never let off cause he probably thought he had it under control. he underestimated his car, and over estimated his "skills".

Yep you hit it on the money. Watch the vid again and you notice that it starts off with him already going and no traction! Trying to show off and cant even handle his own car!

This was at Fun Ford Weekend in Myrtle Beach (I think). He was showing off, just like everyone else, but he tried to hit the brakes and missed and hit the gas instead. At that point I guess he just freaked out and froze.

I feel bad for him, and the 2 cars he did damage to! Ignorance kills, that's what they've always said. He couldn't even consider handling it, he could've at least lost it going 100 and burning out, but going THAT slow and straight and smoking them, losing it THAT bad, it's just unbelievable. When my car ran, I could spin the ish out of them and hold it straight or sliding around corners just fine under boost, guess it's just finess. Hope he fixed his car and learned how to drive better. =(

His floorboard fell out due to the massive amounts of power his car was putting down. He freaked out and, well, you see what happened.

That is what happens when you try to show off. I can handle my car pretty damn good, but the minute I try to show off to someone, I **** up pretty bad. Thankfully not bad enough to wreck it like this guy. It would be great if he was showing off for some girl. Add insult to injury.
