Shelby GT500 Crashes into Brand New Truck

Wow...what the hell was he thinking?! Even roasting the tires just a little with all the cars and people walking around. Total idiot and terrible driver.

[lens]

Man, people should learn their cars correctly. Obviously he can't handle the car/power. Back to driving school for him.

[Vigilante375]

Theres some other place that people wreck way worse than him.....look below....the place I'm tlaking about starts at the ~13 second mark.....

[MisterSkiMask]

when in doubt, both feet out
in a spin, both feet in

[Chris_PDX]

This is why we pay for the sheriff to sit outside our C&C. Helps prevent asshatery.

Worst driver ever

Turns out you can't control the car when the wheels are just spinning.

[Blksnowflake]

I'm glad I saw this video, just another reminder of why not to assclown around with horsepower. I'd rather learn from his mistake than mine. What was he thinking doing that in such a narrow street with vehicles all around....obviously he doesn't know enough about car control to drive like that, very very dumb.

And thank God almighty he didn't have his girlfriend, wife or friend in the passenger seat. That would have been horrific.

Thanks for posting.

Hahaha goddamn.

[chillindrdude]

I am wondering why the airbags did not deploy...

[Efthreeoh]

I can see the Craigs list add now....

Parting out Mustang GT 500. Drivers seat, cue-ball shift knob, and left side tail light available. You pay shipping.

LOL

No, worst developed car ever.

I would love to know if this could happen to any car...for example our car's.
Are there some physic geek's out there, that could explain me exactly why that happened?
Maybe even check, if an throttle lack issue along with suspension setup, grip related issue's, distracted/ confused the driver, caused such an accident, by looking ober the vid evidence?

Would be really cool to hear, what an mechanically inclined Lennard Hoffstaedter would say about this incident

Everytime I think about doing stupid shit ( someone want's to race on public road's, me leaving fast food restaurant's, car meeting's, parent's in law ), I just think about consequences first, what if something goe's wrong and then my conciousness just lead's to one possible thought option:
No gamble, I hate 50/50 chances,
so for me better safe then sorry, is the best decision in such situation's.

You wonder? No wonder for me....

Looks to me like the road is sloped to the left and probably rear torque steer to the right too. As the backend brakes loose he counters with left steering input, when he lets off the gas the rear torque steer goes away and the rear gets traction and snaps back. The front wheels are turned to the left and with all that weight the pendulum swings the other way.

Thinking that the airbag sensors are located on the front and rear bumpers so were not activated. Glad there wasn't someone in the passenger seat. Seems like the side airbag would have helped if there had been a passenger.

Last Q:
Could that also happen to our car's?

Driver error. Bad training, panic, etc. It's not the car. It could happen to ant car with someone who panics. Ford Fiesta.

[Fundguy1]

All he did was keep his foot on the gas too long and he over compensated when rear started drifting.

Daaamn, you stole my line!!

I laugh when I seen this stuff. With all the you tube videos and information available to people these days, they still want to give something like this a shot. Go to the correct place and practice it there. I don't care whether the road tilts this way or that, the fact is he was performing a totally dangerous action (for his intelligence level) in a public place, with people and other cars around.

As far as the airbags are concerned, maybe Darwin had a hand in de-activating them, hoping for the best, but in all seriousness, I think they should have deployed because they are normally controlled and linked to sensors in the door. I hope Ford are not putting a conditional coding on them so the don't go off for an unoccupied seat?

Telepathic ability BAAAAM
Since all these fail youtube video's are out, I developed an much calmer way to drive my car.
I mean I never raced in public before but looking at such references, showed me the consequences if ever I would be in mood to do that, that's what could happen.
I won't start preaching, Iam not that guy but this man was lucky he maybe just broke his rib's instead of other's. There could easely be standing a kid in the corner checking out the truck and then all that would be called 2. degree murder and this gentleman would face serious charges not only hospital bill's, because of his stupid ass idiotic move.
Drive the living shit out of your car, drive it where you want it, how you want it, all that to the point, where no innocent people can get involved in any of your stupid ass hillbilly action's!
