That's awesome, free entertainment. Y'all need to make a sign or something, of course stubborn Houston drivers probably wont stop though.

Reminds me of the flying lambo..

Why is it that while we are obsessed with our cars, and go ape **** when we get just a scratch, we love to watch other people totally destroy theirs?

I can't stop watching these videos just because I know it's coming and they don't.
