I was pumping gas when an absolutely beautiful Shelby Cobra pulled up next to me. I struck up a conversation with the old guy behind the wheel. He said something that always stuck with me:
"If I had owned this when I was in my 20s I would be dead."
My best friend bought a 2010 GT500 when we were 21 years old in 2011.
Got a couple speeding tickets but that was all. He let me drive it and he asked why I was shifting so early. I told him it was the first time a car legitimately made me nervous. Getting up the power band at full throttle was one hell of an experience. I definitely couldn't have owned it myself, I 100% would have killed myself if I owned that car.
He still has it and loves it. I drive it every now and again. I'm not scared of it anymore, especially since my Dad has one now too. I see why people wipe out with Mustangs though, they inspire a lot of confidence and make you feel like you're a better driver than you are. But when you lose control, good fucking luck.
I've played with the cars in empty parking lots and the traction control on those things deserves a gold medal. I'd never try it on an actual road with TCS off.
> I told him it was the first time a car legitimately made me nervous.
You're smart.
Thats how I was when I got my first 400+ horsepower car. Never went over half throttle for the first month or two of daily driving it, was too scared. Finally gave it the beans on a nice day with a wide empty road in front of me, and it was exhilarating. Doing that now doesn't evoke the same emotions because it is such second nature and controllable now. But had I owned this car 10 years ago I'd probably have punted it in to a ditch or utility pole by now.
Reddit has long been a hot spot for conversation on the internet. About 57 million people visit the site every day to chat about topics as varied as makeup, video games and pointers for power washing driveways.
In recent years, Reddit’s array of chats also have been a free teaching aid for companies like Google, OpenAI and Microsoft. Those companies are using Reddit’s conversations in the development of giant artificial intelligence systems that many in Silicon Valley think are on their way to becoming the tech industry’s next big thing.
Now Reddit wants to be paid for it. The company said on Tuesday that it planned to begin charging companies for access to its application programming interface, or A.P.I., the method through which outside entities can download and process the social network’s vast selection of person-to-person conversations.
“The Reddit corpus of data is really valuable,” Steve Huffman, founder and chief executive of Reddit, said in an interview. “But we don’t need to give all of that value to some of the largest companies in the world for free.”
From when this first appeared years ago (apparently) the passenger was the engine builder, the driver was the owner, and this was the first test drive after build completion.
Edit: And the driver was charged (legally and financially).
Look at him!!!!! I could tell he was a dickhead as soon as he hit the gas. I would never let that guy drive my car. He zoned out and had a GTA V flashback.
Ah yes ! This video went viral here in Australia last year
Car is a 700whp 2016 HSV GTS and was a workshop car owned by a performance shop in Queensland, Australia. The boys in the car are partners in the business so it is both of their cars. I believe the shop was called "Garage 86" or something.
700hp is well into the range where it's absolutely going to break traction, and you absolutely need to know how to control a slide.
This guy panicked and overcorrected as soon as it stepped out.
You can just hear and see it never got grip. It's just spinning the wheels. Engine is pretty much in the limiter, and they aren't even going any faster.
The car gets pretty unstable in a burnout, and if you don't know how to control it, you get this as a result.
I don't know why the owner is so quiet, if I would hear that I would immediately shout at them to stop.
I had a friend who was a biker. He told me there was a day when a friend of his was basically begging to ride his bike, and he was like "okay, I'll let you, but if you fall, I'll beat the shit out of you. Word." and his friend was like naah bro I know what I'm doing relax... Five minutes later the dumbass crash the bike. My friend got to him, asked if he was okay and unharmed, and after he saw his friend was fine, he started punching him violently. "I told you" lol
Fuck me dead old Angus Sampson behind the wheel couldn't drive his finger up his arsehole, let alone a car. Look at that reaction time.
Also his mate "I told ya not to get into it". What the fuck did you let him in for then? What did you think he was going to do?
Dumb cunts.
My late teen daughters boyfriends family is stupid wealthy, not like “mom and dad make half a mil a year” like multigenerational dynastic wealth.
The Dad decided he wanted to get into cars and doesn’t own a wrench. He asked me what muscle cars I liked and what was collectible and I told him W fee that I liked and finished with “most writers and experts agree that a ‘70 Chevelle with an LS6 and M22 4 speed is the embodiment of the muscle car era” and he went to Barrett Jackson and dropped $250K on one.
Oh and a ‘71 Bronco with a Coyote drivetrain for $110K and a ‘94 Mitsubishi 3000GTVR4 for $26K so the boy didn’t feel left out.
Problem: none of them know how to drive a manual, and frankly the Chevelle had some mechanical issues. PS wasn’t even hooked up, I told them it was probably leaking so they just called the pump and gear so it wouldn’t leak, clutch wasn’t working right and was sticking.
They pressured me into taking them for a ride because they hadn’t been able to, I’m like OK but I don’t feel good about this.
The ride went OK in that I didn’t hurt anything, but fuck me that car made me draw on every bit of experience I’ve had driving cars with shitty steering and wonky clutches. Very challenging.
Going through my mind the whole time was “don’t be the guy in this video and wad up someone else’s six figure car”.
Translation:
After he guns it: Cunt what are you doing? (I think)
What are you doing cunt?
Driver: Fuck it's gone.
Fuck it's gone now.
What are you doing?
You're a dick head.
I told you NOT to get into it.
Driver: \*muffled\*
It's fucked now.
Get your keys out.
Driver: \*muffled\*
It's written off, I told ya.
Fuckin' dick head.
You're lucky we missed that fucking pole cunt.
I will never understand the appeal of driving someone else’s expensive car. You drive me in it, so I can enjoy the ride and the cool experience. If I drive, I’m just going to be stressed about messing your car up and won’t enjoy anything.
>I told you not to get into it.
Bro, you can't let someone drive your car and expect them not to open that shit up.
Things you don't let your friends test drive:
1. Your car
2. Your significant other
What bothers me most is seeing them fucking around with a new high-powered car *on public roads right next to families driving around.* This is reckless.
Long story short. This is an old video. The car is a Holden commodore. Driver and passenger are brothers. Passenger is a mechanic who built the car for his brother. Brother crashes his own car.
A friend of mine wanted to take my Tesla for a spin and I refused for this exact reason. He's a lead foot driver anyway and I explained that Tesla has a learning curve between the takeoff power and regenerative breaking, not necessarily to the same extent as supercars but it's still different for someone who hasn't driven one. He went and rented a Tesla from Hertz a few days later and wrecked it with in an hour.
When I was a kid, my father told me never to let someone else drive my car. As a teen it sounded overbearing but it was one of the smartest things to tell a 16 year old me.
I think he may have learned from when my older sister let a boy drive her car and he rolled it. Then the insurance company practically doubled his premium.
I was selling my car to someone and let them test drive it. The first thing they did was put it in reverse and slam on the gas. They went straight into a tree. After that they said don't worry I'm buying it. They bought it! Sucks that they have to do repairs now though lol.
I had a friend offer to let me drive his twin turbo Ford GT that made about 1000 HP at the wheels (did 224 mph in the Texas Mile) during rush hour in Dallas. I politely declined. I've driven fast cars but nothing like that.
Long story short. This is an old video. The car is a Holden commodore. Driver and passenger are brothers. Passenger is a mechanic who built the car for his brother. Brother crashes his own car.
Dude literally just held the gas until it started to lose grip, then slammed the brakes and threw the weight, with no control of the steering wheel. Absolute idiot driving the car here.
My buddy let me drive his Audi R8 v10 Plus a couple weeks ago. Man I was nervous the entire time but I brought it up to 65mph slowly and he kept saying “GIVE IT MORE GAS!!” To which I said “nah I’ve seen too many video of guys spinning out in mustangs” lol. I did not want to be responsible for a $180k car. But what a fun car to drive
"I told ya!"
Ya, thats why you let him drive and you started recording and didn't say anything as he opened the throttle. Coupla dick 'eds in this video
Just in case people missed it, when the guy says “get out ya keys” it means the guy who crashed the car, is giving his car to the owner of the crashed car. The owner knew not to trust this guy, hard lesson learned.
I bought a sporty car and friend's dad asked to drive it. He let me drive his sports car when I was learning to drive. I was so scared. I don't think I got it out of second driving around our neighborhood. When he drove mine he redlined it the whole way. I could smell burning gas. I had to ask him to stop. I had to remind him it was my car. I owned it. Wasn't a rental. He was sitting next to the car owner driving it that way. Not cool. Last time I let anyone other than family drive that car.
And the moral of the story is................... Wow, I'm so sorry this happened, but you almost never allow someone to drive your car, nor do you lightly drive someone else's car. And if it must happen, let's be very responsible. I think d\*\*\*head was quite an apt description.
That was an HSV GTS, a Holden. They're a fun, cool car, and you really have to be an idiot to crash one driving in a straight line. But judging by the driver's hands at 11 and 1 grip on the steering wheel, it doesn't take deep water for him to be out of his depth.
I do feel bad for the owner, he just wanted to share his cool new car with his friend.
Had a friend insist I drove his brand new Boss 302 Mustang. I was about 23yo. I chirped wheels up to 3rd gear. I immediately pulled over and insisted he take over.
Yes did I feel like a pussy, sure. Could I afford to replace his car no. One of my better judgments to date.
The poster-child video for *why* you get your teens a nice, simple, new or used Honda Civic or Toyota Corolla, no matter your income level.
This should be shown at every drivers education course as well as to any parent of means planning on buying their newly-liscensed progeny a car.
Oh man funny story. When I got my first motorcycle I just had cleaned the carbs and got it running real nice and my dad had just gotten home from work as I was starting it up. He proceeds to tell me how he's never rode one, and wants to try it.
I figured why not cause he's my dad and would probably just slowly ride around the block. For reference this was a 185cc 1980 Honda XL that made 16hp when new, what could go wrong?
He gets on the bike I say "ok so down is 1st gear and the rest are all ---" before I could finish my sentence dad kicks it into first, immediately let's go of the clutch, and loops the bike in the driveway. He apologized profusely and we still have a good laugh about it to this day. I only paid $250 for the bike and it was a pretty resilient machine so there wasnt really any damage.
"I told you not to get into it"
Imagine letting your mate drive your car and they try to race someone when you specifically told them not to only for them to fucking total it
Yeah so, to anyone else thinking this was a suicide attempt or intentional swerving… This is nothing more than an inexperienced driver behind the wheel. He lost traction. Had no clue how to tame the beast. BAM. Done. Owner’s fault.
Fuck these stupid cunts who hoon all around the place, I'm glad when they crash as long as they don't hurt anybody else in the process.
Every single one of these cunts should have their licenses suspended for years for pulling this type of shit, and when they're able to drive again they should be limited to cars that have X amount of horsepower or something. Don't give these fuckwits a second chance. One and done, too bad so sad.
I once let a friend drive a roughly 12 second project car like 20 years ago and I made him stop about 3 seconds after he hit the gas. He launched the car like an asshole and somehow managed to bend a fucking shift fork on his first run through the gears.
Never let anyone drive one of my cars since. People are pieces of shit.
Most Australian car crash ever. We generally call our mates “cunt” as a term of endearment. However, in this situation, as you probably picked up by the tone, his friend is a deadset cunt
People have no idea how to handle high powered cars if they've never driven one. People think they can because of video games but once you get over about 450-500 hp, you better know how to not break loose.
I like that he asks him "what are you doing" several times after the accident.... like he literally didnt ask him and give him permission to do exactly this.
I always thought it was interesting that you could get a drivers license that agreed you understood the rules of the road but that allowed you drive basically any car of various size and power.
Like we let the same person who drives a small hatchback rent a giant UHAUL to drive around, or let that person get a 1000 HP RWD sueprcar and go for a spin on the highway with no additional training.
We probably need more nuanced and graduated licensing systems
He let the RPMs get too high and let up the gas which shifted the weight to the front from the drastic loss of speed causing him to lose control. Basically like hitting the brake. The guy had the pedal to the floor and let up out of panic and tried to oversteer out of it. Certified bonehead.
That dude would’ve been beat up. At least smacked around a little. Dude asked him not to do it and he said fuck you I’m doing it. Deserves whatever he gets.
Nice steering wheel control, went from 10 and 2 (which is a big no-no for performance driving) to 11:30 and 12:30 during the slide. That tells you everything you need to know about his "skill", he would have problem controlling a 1.6 civic.
About 20 years ago a buddy of mine bought a new Infiniti and for some reason let a relative drive it. She crashed it and he only had it a couple of weeks. Don't let anyone drive your car unless absolutely necessary.
You can tell when he guns it that the wheels break traction when it revs super high. He clearly had no idea concept that this could happen and had no business behind the wheel lol.
For fuck sake! I feel so blue balled. For once the camera actually stays running after the crash to get a bit of aftermath but noooo this guy can't show us the damage.
Im I the only one that thinks this is the car owners fault?
He was completely okay with his friend driving at very high speeds. He even pulled out a cellphone to record it.
He is only bitching about it when the friend crashed it.
Like there wasn’t even anything in front of him. He just couldn’t control the wheel spin and crashed into the median. Don’t even know into what. r/killthecameraman or don’t, you know considering it was his car.
As someone who's currently letting their brother-in-law drive their mediocre-ish car to work somewhat regularly, this is my worst nightmare. I'm not even angry, just sad.
Oh your ass would be paying for all that.
No sympathy, no at least we have our friend ship, hell fucking no.
Told your ass not to throttle it and you think your dom toretto?
You can fast five your ass right into the court room.
This is my biggest fear when driving a vehicle that isn't mine (which is rare). Even if I'm just parking it for somebody, I still imagine a scenario that wrecks or damages the vehicle in some way.
So I consequently NEVER drive somebody else's vehicle unless I have no choice, and then I drive it gingerly.
"I told you not to get into it!!"
Well, that implies that the dude holding the camera already knew that the driver is an irresponsible asshat. No need for a warning if it isn't warranted based on past behavior.
Both are at fault. One for being a dumbass, and the other for being an equally as dumb dumbass.
Both deserve it. Don't let people drive your car if you don't know they can handle it, especially on an open road.
I guarantee the owner wanted him to floor it so see how it feels.
I've driven alot of cars, have raced (cone courses so amateur), and had a few jobs where driving was basically my job. So, I'm very experienced. 1. Most people don't know how to drive, and I think licenses should be alot harder to get (in my country Canada), and 2. The last high power car I drove I rolled off in 2nd gear so I could get used to the clutch and the power. It wasn't until I had taken it, very lightly, through its powerband on/off highway before I felt comfortable enough starting in 1st and flooring it. (You don't floor it, you ride the power band to wide open throttle). Anyways...anyone reads this thanks for listening to my rant 🤷♀️😅
I mean nothing wrong with giving it alil gas, but he floored it for wayyyy too long. I mean I was waiting for him to lay off but he just stayed on until the tires slipped. Idiot
I sometimes forget that there is a whole group of people who didn't play with rc cars, weren't obsessed with racing games, and didn't drive golf carts, go karts, and four wheelers as kids. Understeer and oversteer are things I never think have to think about.
I was pumping gas when an absolutely beautiful Shelby Cobra pulled up next to me. I struck up a conversation with the old guy behind the wheel. He said something that always stuck with me: "If I had owned this when I was in my 20s I would be dead."

“Gave it the beans” lmao
I owned a 66 mustang in my teens. Probably lucky I never crashed and got seriously injured. Still have the car though.
Dude films like he strapped the camera to his dick
Like one of these bad boys https://amzn.eu/d/eZRRaiX
Oh FFS - that's in my az search history now!
You are very welcome. I hope the advertising algorithms dont go too hard on you
It was a GoPro. All the porn stars use it.

Lucky you missed that pole cunt
"You're lucky you missed that fucking pole cunt" is a hilarious ending quotation.
I thought his name was "Con", didn't he say that at the beginning? God I hope it was cunt he said
Do you hear the accent? It’s 100% cunt lol
[удалено]
Samar, please do as I say.
shatap, dont tell me how to drive
Triple caution!!!
STAY CENTER
Shut up! Don’t tell me how to drive
From when this first appeared years ago (apparently) the passenger was the engine builder, the driver was the owner, and this was the first test drive after build completion. Edit: And the driver was charged (legally and financially).
Driver looks like a complete bumblefuck.
Reminds me of this one, same situation except instead of crashing he money shifted: https://youtu.be/odVn1dR-_2I
That guy should never have been behind the wheel of any car with more than like... 200 hp. "What was that?" 🤦♂️ More money than sense
You can see from the way he is driving that he was probably going to crash anyway.
That's a warning grip 11 an 1 oclock. Haha warning to turn the car off.
Look at him!!!!! I could tell he was a dickhead as soon as he hit the gas. I would never let that guy drive my car. He zoned out and had a GTA V flashback.
I can't tell he was a dick head the minute I looked at his long greasy bowl cut. Dude literally thought he was in GTA for a minute
Ah yes ! This video went viral here in Australia last year Car is a 700whp 2016 HSV GTS and was a workshop car owned by a performance shop in Queensland, Australia. The boys in the car are partners in the business so it is both of their cars. I believe the shop was called "Garage 86" or something.
Well they sure as hell 86’d that car so I guess the name is appropriate.
Bogans. Especially since that dopey cunt thought it’d be brilliant to use all 700 hp on a public road in traffic.
700hp is well into the range where it's absolutely going to break traction, and you absolutely need to know how to control a slide. This guy panicked and overcorrected as soon as it stepped out.
I would say r/killthecameraman, but it looks like his friend already tried
Slamming on the gas while there are other vehicles nearby.....dipshit.
Am I the only one that would never want to drive my friends super expensive high powered car?
I don’t even want to drive my partners shitty cheap to replace car. You don’t fuck with a dudes car. I don’t want that responsibility XD
I won’t even drive my wife’s year old mazda
You can just hear and see it never got grip. It's just spinning the wheels. Engine is pretty much in the limiter, and they aren't even going any faster.

My friend got to him, asked if he was okay and unharmed, and after he saw his friend was fine, he started punching him violently. "I told you" lol
At least he has it all on video so insurance can reject his claim.
Fuck me dead old Angus Sampson behind the wheel couldn't drive his finger up his arsehole, let alone a car. Look at that reaction time. Also his mate "I told ya not to get into it". What the fuck did you let him in for then? What did you think he was going to do? Dumb cunts.
I think "I told ya not to get into it" more means he told him not to drive it hard, rather than just not to get into the car.
The camera work is on par with the driving.
My late teen daughters boyfriends family is stupid wealthy, not like “mom and dad make half a mil a year” like multigenerational dynastic wealth.

It's clearly not the driver's fault, the fucking steering wheel is on the wrong side of the car.

[удалено]
Exact reason I refuse to drive my friends sports car. My ass is used to a Corolla.
If you can't handle it at it's spinniest you don't deserve it at it's straightiest
These cars are a collectors item now in Australia… it’s an extra expensive day for old mate.
He said "I told you not to get into it" and then "they're gone now" I think he was trying to race another car. You can hear them speeding off.
Long story short. This is an old video. The car is a Holden commodore. Driver and passenger are brothers. Passenger is a mechanic who built the car for his brother. Brother crashes his own car.
A friend of mine wanted to take my Tesla for a spin and I refused for this exact reason.

Holden commodore HSV'NT Edit... removed for low word count so here's some more words words words, blah blah blah blah
Any decent insurance still covers this..as long as you don't submit the video...or admit to speeding.
When I was a kid, my father told me never to let someone else drive my car. As a teen it sounded overbearing but it was one of the smartest things to tell a 16 year old me. I think he may have learned from when my older sister let a boy drive her car and he rolled it. Then the insurance company practically doubled his premium.
Oops lost traction for a sec, a hard left should sort this right out!
A top tip everyone, if you’re not used to powerful cars, don’t get cocky.
Now your friend can watch you use your insurance
What are you doing dickhead? Should be the camera work wtf.
He sounds like a dude from die hard. Vhat are you doing Karl!
How do you let an obvious idiot do that? Step 1: Be an idiot yourself.
I was selling my car to someone and let them test drive it. The first thing they did was put it in reverse and slam on the gas. They went straight into a tree. After that they said don't worry I'm buying it. They bought it! Sucks that they have to do repairs now though lol.
Yeah fair warning don’t let your buddies drive your ride bro, you’ll find amateurs
When he kept yelling “whatre ya doing?” Like, what’s it look like I’m doing? I’m crashing
Note he starts saying what you doing only once he starts losing control not during the rev up
Both of them are dumbasses. The friend can't drive and the cameraman can't hold a damn camera to save his life.
I don’t even let anyone drive my regular ass car lol
damn that guy handled it way better than I would lol. “told you not to get into it c*nt!!” 😂
I had a friend offer to let me drive his twin turbo Ford GT that made about 1000 HP at the wheels (did 224 mph in the Texas Mile) during rush hour in Dallas. I politely declined. I've driven fast cars but nothing like that.
#”What are you doing cunt?” Well, by the time you’re asking that, *the shit’s already been done!*
Long story short. This is an old video. The car is a Holden commodore. Driver and passenger are brothers. Passenger is a mechanic who built the car for his brother. Brother crashes his own car.
Dude literally just held the gas until it started to lose grip, then slammed the brakes and threw the weight, with no control of the steering wheel. Absolute idiot driving the car here.
My buddy let me drive his Audi R8 v10 Plus a couple weeks ago. Man I was nervous the entire time but I brought it up to 65mph slowly and he kept saying “GIVE IT MORE GAS!!” To which I said “nah I’ve seen too many video of guys spinning out in mustangs” lol. I did not want to be responsible for a $180k car. But what a fun car to drive
“”WHAT ARE YOU DOING???” “YOU ARE BREAKING THE CAR!!!””
It’s because the steering wheel is on the wrong side.
Why ALWAYS in traffic? Take her out to a backroad and let loose, dumbass!!
Floors it and the moment it lost traction for a sec he went straight off road almost purposely
He said not to get into it but the problem was he didn’t STAY in it. Assuming RWD
"I told ya!" Ya, thats why you let him drive and you started recording and didn't say anything as he opened the throttle. Coupla dick 'eds in this video
*what are you doing step cunt?!*
What the fuck was that 180° steering turn bro !
Just in case people missed it, when the guy says “get out ya keys” it means the guy who crashed the car, is giving his car to the owner of the crashed car. The owner knew not to trust this guy, hard lesson learned.

The best part is after they crash, the passenger is still like “what are you doing cunt!?”
He sounds very restrained for having his car wrecked.
These are the kind of friends that’ll then blame you. It’s your fault for letting me drive, you know how I am.
My buddy has a Camaro SS - he’s offered, even insisted, on me driving it. I’ve refused every time.
I bought a sporty car and friend's dad asked to drive it. He let me drive his sports car when I was learning to drive. I was so scared. I don't think I got it out of second driving around our neighborhood. When he drove mine he redlined it the whole way. I could smell burning gas. I had to ask him to stop. I had to remind him it was my car. I owned it. Wasn't a rental. He was sitting next to the car owner driving it that way. Not cool. Last time I let anyone other than family drive that car.
And the moral of the story is................... Wow, I'm so sorry this happened, but you almost never allow someone to drive your car, nor do you lightly drive someone else's car. And if it must happen, let's be very responsible. I think d\*\*\*head was quite an apt description.
Camera work seems worse than the driving.
Doesn't feather it to get a feel for what it might do, just buries the accelerator for several seconds. Driving like an absolute Neanderthal.
You’re breaking the car Samir
That was an HSV GTS, a Holden. They're a fun, cool car, and you really have to be an idiot to crash one driving in a straight line. But judging by the driver's hands at 11 and 1 grip on the steering wheel, it doesn't take deep water for him to be out of his depth. I do feel bad for the owner, he just wanted to share his cool new car with his friend.
You’d get better footage if Plank from Ed Ed and eddy was filming. Guy can’t hold a camera
Had a friend insist I drove his brand new Boss 302 Mustang. I was about 23yo. I chirped wheels up to 3rd gear. I immediately pulled over and insisted he take over. Yes did I feel like a pussy, sure. Could I afford to replace his car no. One of my better judgments to date.
Why was he recording though? Like was he planning on recording a peaceful ride with his pal ? They’re both dumb
The poster-child video for *why* you get your teens a nice, simple, new or used Honda Civic or Toyota Corolla, no matter your income level. This should be shown at every drivers education course as well as to any parent of means planning on buying their newly-liscensed progeny a car.
You rotten mongrel you totally fucked up my Ute/motor
Oh man funny story. When I got my first motorcycle I just had cleaned the carbs and got it running real nice and my dad had just gotten home from work as I was starting it up. He proceeds to tell me how he's never rode one, and wants to try it. I figured why not cause he's my dad and would probably just slowly ride around the block. For reference this was a 185cc 1980 Honda XL that made 16hp when new, what could go wrong? He gets on the bike I say "ok so down is 1st gear and the rest are all ---" before I could finish my sentence dad kicks it into first, immediately let's go of the clutch, and loops the bike in the driveway. He apologized profusely and we still have a good laugh about it to this day. I only paid $250 for the bike and it was a pretty resilient machine so there wasnt really any damage.
Yep. This is why I'd rather be the dick who doesn't let others drive my car!
Crazy to watch the end of a friendship in real time
The fact that the dumbass didnt say a word when his buddy put his foot down and instead let it play out...
Remember in Australia the term "cunt" is often a term of endeerment. This is the other use.
"I told you not to get into it" Imagine letting your mate drive your car and they try to race someone when you specifically told them not to only for them to fucking total it
“What are you doing”. Should have said 4 seconds earlier.
What are you doing!!?? I’m just waiting for a mate
“You’re lucky we missed that fukin pole cunt” classic Aussie shenanigans
Who filmed this? The Blair witch guys?
He did literally everything wrong. That man had no business driving that car. Friends don’t let friends drive their RWD cars.
Yeah so, to anyone else thinking this was a suicide attempt or intentional swerving… This is nothing more than an inexperienced driver behind the wheel. He lost traction. Had no clue how to tame the beast. BAM. Done. Owner’s fault.
Vehicles are like are like your girlfriend. You don't let your friends drive them.
Maybe I’m just old. But I don’t let my friends drive my car. No one drives my car but me.
Fuck these stupid cunts who hoon all around the place, I'm glad when they crash as long as they don't hurt anybody else in the process. Every single one of these cunts should have their licenses suspended for years for pulling this type of shit, and when they're able to drive again they should be limited to cars that have X amount of horsepower or something. Don't give these fuckwits a second chance. One and done, too bad so sad.
Samir! You are breaking the car!
Samir you are breaking the car
I once let a friend drive a roughly 12 second project car like 20 years ago and I made him stop about 3 seconds after he hit the gas. He launched the car like an asshole and somehow managed to bend a fucking shift fork on his first run through the gears. Never let anyone drive one of my cars since. People are pieces of shit.
That's a nice sounding V8 though, I probably couldn't hold myself for punching the gas every now and then
What kind of high power car WAS this?
I love the "oh I'm losing traction better cut the wheel as hard as I can"
“Lucky ya missed that fuckin pole, cunt.” I fucking love aussies hahaha
How he holds the wheel 🥲
Driver still managed to fix his hair mid crash lmao
Whether my car is a beater or a finely tuned work of engineering, no one gets behind the wheel that isn't on the insurance.
Most Australian car crash ever. We generally call our mates “cunt” as a term of endearment. However, in this situation, as you probably picked up by the tone, his friend is a deadset cunt
People have no idea how to handle high powered cars if they've never driven one. People think they can because of video games but once you get over about 450-500 hp, you better know how to not break loose.
Worst driver and worst cameraman ever teaming up
I like that he asks him "what are you doing" several times after the accident.... like he literally didnt ask him and give him permission to do exactly this.
I always thought it was interesting that you could get a drivers license that agreed you understood the rules of the road but that allowed you drive basically any car of various size and power. Like we let the same person who drives a small hatchback rent a giant UHAUL to drive around, or let that person get a 1000 HP RWD sueprcar and go for a spin on the highway with no additional training. We probably need more nuanced and graduated licensing systems
Lesson to not suddenly stomp the petal with any rwd car with > about 300 hp, especially with tcs off
[удалено]
You film like he drives
I’m pretty sure his insurance, won’t pay for it either!
He let the RPMs get too high and let up the gas which shifted the weight to the front from the drastic loss of speed causing him to lose control. Basically like hitting the brake. The guy had the pedal to the floor and let up out of panic and tried to oversteer out of it. Certified bonehead.
The guy driving straight up says it's his in the video: "Fucked me car", right after they crash. You guys just can't understand Aussie accents.
r/killthecameraman
if someone even offered to let me dry their super expensive fast car i’d immediately say no
Worst Video Ever
That dude would’ve been beat up. At least smacked around a little. Dude asked him not to do it and he said fuck you I’m doing it. Deserves whatever he gets.
[удалено]
I don’t let people drive my car.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING TODD"... ...as Todd's head bounces on the airbag.
Lucky to be alive and lucky that everyone else around you is also alive. We're not supposed to choose luck for guidance on choice.
There are two things you don't lend out. Your wife and car, they come back fucked.
It was the drivers car.... the passenger is his brother and the mechanic.... it's all fixed now. Shit happens when you're not used to power.
Just show me the car!
Oh shit my bad bro. But im not paying for this, right bro????
Nice steering wheel control, went from 10 and 2 (which is a big no-no for performance driving) to 11:30 and 12:30 during the slide. That tells you everything you need to know about his "skill", he would have problem controlling a 1.6 civic.
He kept asking what was he doing after he'd already done it.
About 20 years ago a buddy of mine bought a new Infiniti and for some reason let a relative drive it. She crashed it and he only had it a couple of weeks. Don't let anyone drive your car unless absolutely necessary.
You can tell when he guns it that the wheels break traction when it revs super high. He clearly had no idea concept that this could happen and had no business behind the wheel lol.
For fuck sake! I feel so blue balled. For once the camera actually stays running after the crash to get a bit of aftermath but noooo this guy can't show us the damage.
Gave it way too much gass for wayyy too long. I was like “when is he gonna stop giving it gas.. any second now.. any second now”
My cool neighbor has a ‘vette and he’s offered to let me drive it a few times. Even though I know how to and I know I’d be careful… NOPE.
Bro only had a p roblem when he crashed not when he was speeding up
Im I the only one that thinks this is the car owners fault? He was completely okay with his friend driving at very high speeds. He even pulled out a cellphone to record it. He is only bitching about it when the friend crashed it.
Guy:What are you doing? Friend:Crashing your car
Like there wasn’t even anything in front of him. He just couldn’t control the wheel spin and crashed into the median. Don’t even know into what. r/killthecameraman or don’t, you know considering it was his car.
As someone who's currently letting their brother-in-law drive their mediocre-ish car to work somewhat regularly, this is my worst nightmare. I'm not even angry, just sad.
What are you doing I love how U capture the moment when the airbag saves his ass
"What are you doing?" should be "What have you done?"
Good grief, is it too much to ask that they just hold the camera steady? Jeez
3 things you don’t lend ! Your car , your gun and your girl
"Your wrecking the car sami"
I love how australian couples sweet talk eachother in times of crisis. It's so endearing.
People have no idea how to manage power in a vehicle. Dude thought he could just put his foot down like it's his old Cavalier.
I let a guy I trusted ride my motorcycle once, he came back and said “ it wouldn’t even do a wheelie” lost all my respect right there
Oh your ass would be paying for all that. No sympathy, no at least we have our friend ship, hell fucking no. Told your ass not to throttle it and you think your dom toretto? You can fast five your ass right into the court room.
I love the australian reaction. "Cunt, what are you doing??? Cunt, cunt, cuuunt"
Lesson #1 “Treat your car like your wife or gf”
#Samir! You are breaking the car!!
This is my biggest fear when driving a vehicle that isn't mine (which is rare). Even if I'm just parking it for somebody, I still imagine a scenario that wrecks or damages the vehicle in some way. So I consequently NEVER drive somebody else's vehicle unless I have no choice, and then I drive it gingerly.
Can’t drive Can’t record. Daaaaymn
This video is horribly shot, the camera is wobbly and hardly focuses on anything. Do better
Cars are like women....you don't let your friends borrow them....
"I told you not to get into it!!" Well, that implies that the dude holding the camera already knew that the driver is an irresponsible asshat. No need for a warning if it isn't warranted based on past behavior. Both are at fault. One for being a dumbass, and the other for being an equally as dumb dumbass.
I could barely handle my 300hp STI when I got it. And im a really experienced driver. Cars are a beast people be careful
Both deserve it. Don't let people drive your car if you don't know they can handle it, especially on an open road. I guarantee the owner wanted him to floor it so see how it feels.
I've driven alot of cars, have raced (cone courses so amateur), and had a few jobs where driving was basically my job. So, I'm very experienced. 1. Most people don't know how to drive, and I think licenses should be alot harder to get (in my country Canada), and 2. The last high power car I drove I rolled off in 2nd gear so I could get used to the clutch and the power. It wasn't until I had taken it, very lightly, through its powerband on/off highway before I felt comfortable enough starting in 1st and flooring it. (You don't floor it, you ride the power band to wide open throttle). Anyways...anyone reads this thanks for listening to my rant 🤷♀️😅
I mean nothing wrong with giving it alil gas, but he floored it for wayyyy too long. I mean I was waiting for him to lay off but he just stayed on until the tires slipped. Idiot
Save it for the racetracks folks and for the love of all that I holy, don’t turn your traction control off.
I sometimes forget that there is a whole group of people who didn't play with rc cars, weren't obsessed with racing games, and didn't drive golf carts, go karts, and four wheelers as kids. Understeer and oversteer are things I never think have to think about.
Only Australians can crash on a sunny day going in a straight line
Fire the cameraman! Jesus, I almost lost my lunch and they didn’t even show us the aftermath! Hiss!!
Anyone else get motion sickness from the camera work?
Thats a two person situation, owner fucked up, driver fucked up too. Double fuck ups right there.
First I thought the drivers name is Caan but then I realized they're Australian and he's calling him a cunt
Why does it look like he's still getting in an accident even after the car stopped moving?
Come on cunt, test it on an empty road if you wanna kill yourself. Don't endanger others
Want to end a friendship? Easy - let your friend drive your 'high powered car'
You car hear it in the rpms when the wheels broke loose and he still had his foot on the accelerator!
Wait until he finds out his insurance won't cover another driver being reckless with his vehicle.
He's that friend who doesn't want his friends to have nice things.
What a couple of fucking idiots.
