Does anyone know what event this was filmed at? There seems to be a big crowd of people on the side of the road spectating this display of Darwinism at it's finest.

On the Power Tour this year, we lit em up leaving the venue's all the time and I never saw people do stupid **** like this. If you're not familiar with how your car reacts, don't be an *** clown.

Sounds like you need to learn to drive or we'll see you in a similiar vid.
Funny how my car never "jumps lanes."

Exactly, it's a Darwin contest between the drivers and the spectators. Who can win the award for being the most likely to kill themselves from stupidity. At least the spectators appear to be behind a gaurd rail.

Unbelievable. I had seen the one of the '03+ Cobra a while back but I had no idea there were others.

It's got to be some type of GTG every year from the looks of the vid. Dumb **** like that must happen every year.


Just can't believe some poeple...

Supposedly his throttle got stuck. If you ask me, he was trying to show off his car and paid the price.

There are idiot drivers in every type of car, hell my friend who owned an 01 Z28 was messing around on a residential street, lost control and crashed into someones house. He ended up in the poor guys living room, and in the process wrecked his z28.

Hahaha, I was thinking of the driver... Maybe they can have a tie if the driver also dies in the collision.

Hooray for Mustang Week! A crash just like that happens there every year at the same intersection by driver's doing the exact same thing.
