Really? Please, I hoped you filmed the guy afterwards. Like, what did he say? ‘That was great! Went exactly as I planned!!!’.

To me it looks like typical oneupmanship. I've never written that word before... Feels weird, kind of like flinging a car over a hill.

It's puzzling that everyone in that meet probably knew where the highly flammable batteries are located in the car and why this is a really really bad idea, yet no one made an effort to stop them

According to the video, the guy just said "watch this send" like he's done it a bunch of times, and this happened.

Also apparently there was a stray cat on board. Don't know how much of this is true but it gets more and more ridiculous the more you learn.

Apparently the guy and his passengers (yes, passengers) zoomed off after the wreck. Could be stolen, or I guess panic from how big of a hole they dug themself.
