Mechanical idiot but has money.

[Black Pearl's Captain]

What a dummy. Yes I despise people that have too much money and don't know squat about wrenching. This dude is what I would call a "poser".

Thanks dad for teaching me how to turn a wrench from under a greasy run down car.

That is priceless, would have been better if it caught fire. He doesn't deserve a car that nice.

[alph]

that was really cool! 

i've seen guys doing the same thing at sturgis with their cycles.


(what was he trying to do anyway?)

[Hoser]

Oughta have his A$$ kicked.  hoser

[fstsix]

And think they live among us and VOTE!!!

[John Schmidt]

And seemed surprised that all the smoke wasn't from the tires. Geez....hope he's sterile.

[Big Rig]

I have seen guys do that and burn the car up....priceless...moron!!!

[The Breeze]

The term that comes to mind for me when describing this guy is "a horses' hang down!!"       

Look Ma, a Craftsman Tool Card, a subscription to HOT ROD and my very own scan tool and I still don't know $%^&!!

[Ratdog]

What a jackass !!!  What a gomer !!  What a goober !!  I can only hope that someone sent of copy of that to his insurance agent.

[Ratdog]

I'd say... a "gelding's hang down" would be more fitting... good for only ONE thing.   

[RoadKill]

That should be enough evidence for a court ordered sterilization! What if he were to breed MORE Obama Voters? !

[Mikey]

LOL, did anyone else catch what popped open when he tried to pop the hood??

[Redline +]

Now he'll take it back to the dealer and want a new clutch under warranty. Sad thing is, they'll probably do it. What a dumb $hit.

LOL  Indeed, I did... I was waiting for him to lift the hatch to inspect the engine.   

[R J]

Redline 

Clutch, pressure plate and throw out bearings are not under warranty.

That is considered normal use just like brake pads.    Dat be his nickle.

They will probably give him a free oil change Coupon after they warranty his clutch...it's the WalMart mentality that is destroying our nation and breeding STOOPID ,ENTITLED,BRATS ! !

Yea, republican.   He's a rich kid.  He will just go out and buy another.  It's only money.  Remember, he was trying to destroy $600.  tires.  A dem couldn't afford the tires let alone the car.

Just think of it as stimulating the economy

Mom Burnout Gone Wrong

[ArmyValker]

Dumb@ss. That's what happens when you try to brake stand a car with 4 piston brembo calipers and huge rotors... I don't even wanna know how much a clutch cost for that car AT THE DEALER... I betcha it's well over 4 figures. But this guy probably doesn't care.

[big turkey]

I don't know which is funnier the guy trying to do a burnout wiht the emergency brake on ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Or the guy with the mug helping the lady who is helping the mom up.

BOth pretty funny.

[solo1]

'Way beyond words!, especially the d***head in Britman's video.

[pufrider]

What does having money have to do with wrenching???

I agree he is a fool, but Captn started with with, I hate people with money that do not know how to wrench.   What does one have to do with the other?

[fudgie]

Having enough money that you do not do work yourself. I do not know many, if any, white collar workers that get dirty and do the stuff themselves. We have been paid by a guy to hang pictures in his house cause he didn't know how or want to. I agree with Raymond, if this is what he means.

[Mikey]

I'm pretty white collar... but I love doing my own work. But that's mostly because I don't trust anyone with my stuff. And I like to inspect and see what's goin wrong. LOL, and don't lump "white collar" and "money" together!

I agree with Mikey!   

[Skinhead]

What gets me, is the car companies are spending millions to meet federal emmission standards, and adding costs to your vehicle so it can detect a 0.020" leak in your evaporative emmission system ( basicly to detect a leak in your fuel system which would allow fuel to evaporate into the atmosphere).  This is why your check engine light will come on if you leave you fuel cap off.  

Now how much pollution do you think is generated from roasting a $600 set of tires (or $1000 clutch) conpared to a 0.020" leak in your fuel system?  And what reg will the EPA or CARB come up with that will prevent this?  You can't fix stupid, and we need less government.  

Makes as much sense as the tree huggers who burn a HUMMER because they supposedly get lousey fuel economy and destroy the earth.

[wdvalk]

The guy in the vette is an example of why we have obama as president

[Jeff K]

They weren't "burning off $600 worth of tires" they were finishing off the $600 tires, after 8,000 miles.

No rich democrats eh?

[bsnicely]

Shouldn't the other genious have told him his tires weren't spinning?      That idiot has no business with such a nice car!     Jeeeez!

No disrespect intended. I associate large incomes with white collar work. You never see a blue collar worker bringing in 150K.

[Jeff K]

How about a "no collar worker"?
I know a guy that lost a leg like this.


Dodge Neon Burnout gone wrong with Clutch Blowing Up

I was watching Carolyn go out to crank her car one morning, and when she hit the key, the
battery exploded... it wasn't nearly as dramatic as that, but the hood did poof out a little...

[Davemn]

I am either too stupid or too smart to figure out that burnout video. What happened? Did he have the parking brake on? How can he not know his tires werent spinning? He couldnt feel the rear end? Was he feathering the clutch? Is this Vette to hi tech to allow the tires to break loose.Too much grip with those $600 tires? How can this be done to the clutch? Someone splain it please.
BTW, I have done my share of burnouts back in the 70's.

[Spirited-6]

This reminds me of several years, many years, ago we sold a Nissan "Z" car to a young lady. Little did we know that she could not drive a stick shift, her boy friend drove the car away from our Dealership. "Z" car back with 280 miles on it with major damage to gear box. Boy friend was teaching her how to drive. Much to my surprize Nissan OK`ed the repair.  BTW, I would like to smack the Vett. guy.

Don't know for sure, but I would guess he tried to do the burn out with out disabling the traction control system, but that's just a guess.  I don't understand the TC system on the 'vette, but if it uses brakes to control wheel spin, that'll do it.
