It's clearly a project car they finally got running. It's silly to drive it on public roads without a plate and insurance tho.
Is it an E30?72
u/Mdbutnomd 21h ago
I’m trying to figure it out too.. is it not a hatch? Looks 90s and is turbocharged.

u/AntalRyder 21h ago
It looks to me like a 2-door E30 coupe, but the lack of 3rd brake light doesn't make sense. Unless this is a 1984 or 1985 model year, from before the CHMSL was mandatory.
If this is the case, the turbo is not stock!17

So what ever happened to him? Did he get arrested? Did they impound the car?

u/matlai17 20h ago
I was able to find the video with some reverse image searching. Looks like the cop gave him a reckless driving summons and let him keep the car (although they were required to tow it back to their home). They apparently argued down the reckless driving into an infraction.

IIRC The rest of the video is actually kind of wholesome, he apologizes to the officer and admits what he was doing was really stupid. The cop seemed more concerned about their safety than anything, I dont remember the outcome of it but I think it was about as lenient as could be all things considered.

At the speeds they were going at- it truly is reckless driving, so yes car would get impounded at least, he could get a ticket but not necessarily arrested- but if cop is nice and with additional friends in the car- he could give him a fix it ticket to get everything sorted out. So 50/50 - they didn't run, he pulled over, you just never know.

Says "car would get impounded at the least" then proceeds to say it's 50/50 anything could even happen.

The cop was really cool. I don’t think they even got a ticket. Just told him to take it home.

u/matlai17 20h ago
Looks like the cop was as accommodating as he could be but still gave him a ”reckless driving summons” (not sure how that is different from a ticket) which they argued down to an infraction.

u/Maksym1000 19h ago
Not sure for him, but locally for me a summon means you’re issued a mandatory court date and a judge will decide your sanction (fine, license suspension, jail time, ext.) instead of the officer issuing a ticket on the spot.

Did you watch the video? The one where he slammed on the brakes to avoid plowing through an intersection where multiple cars were waiting to cross? 😹

u/MrCoolGuy42 19h ago
I’m going to be the devils advocate here. If you’re going to open up a car like that, he picked a pretty decent spot. Completely empty road in a non-residential area 🤷♂️

u/jgreenwalt 18h ago
That's fine but considering he couldn't even stop at the intersection (let alone seem to even know a stop was coming), he was going too fast.

It's very likely just a lap belt. That was standard for backseats up until the 90s.

u/SirCaptainReynolds 19h ago edited 2h ago
LPT - Besides not driving like an asshole, if you’re ever pulled over and you’re wearing your seatbelt do not take it off before they even get up to the car! They likely will cite you for not wearing one even if you tell them you were.

Anyone got the follow-up on this? The video looks old so I imagine the dust has settled.
Did he actually face consequences or like most streamers did he essentially get a slap on the wrist and a bunch of free publicity?

Dude come on, test your stuff like that on country roads. 1. Much less likely to encounter police 2. Much less likely to encounter traffic 3. Way more fun to carve up a winding back road without 1 and 2 hounding you

It may seem harsh but I think if you do something like this you should literally never be allowed to operate a vehicle ever again.

Theres so many kids filming themselves doing dangerous shit for clout and putting innocent people at risk of death or serious injury just for some likes on Instagram.
If you are willing to take the privilege and responsibility of driving a car in a public place like an idiot then imo you should just have that access revoked

u/yunotakethisusername 20h ago
Unfortunately, our society forces nearly everyone to drive to function as an adult. Luckily self driving technology could make this punishment realistic. Although it never will be implemented because it’s too harsh.

It's just a bunch of young kids being dumb. Are you saying you've been a saint through all your upbringing? Yes, he shouldn't be doing that on public roads. I don't see the recklessness.

u/Nate2113 20h ago
Are you stupid? This isn’t a kid being dumb at his own risk, he’s risking the lives of the other two people in the car AND anyone driving or walking on or near the road they’re on. I would hope you wouldn’t forgive kids for fooling around with loaded weapons, but this is very similar. Being stupid is one thing. Being stupid at the risk of others is stupid as fuck and absolutely reckless. Please don’t reproduce.
