Talking Challenger Hellcat Owner Records His Car Burning To The Ground

http://www.msn.com/en-us/autos/news/...bfcL&ocid=iehp

"Furthermore, spying other videos in the channel it seems our gallant driver isn’t necessarily easy on the car and he’s not afraid to show it. That by itself isn’t a big deal – a freaking 707-horsepower Hellcat begs to be exercised after all. Videotaping yourself going 111 mph in a 45 mph zone, however, leads us to question some of his decisions. But we digress."

"The new mill apparently wasn’t running right, as he describes plenty of surging and stumbling while trying to get the engine broken in. He went to a rural road for some exploratory driving but the condition worsened until finally nothing was happening when pressing the gas pedal. In this case, nothing apparently was only a reference to acceleration, because he describes all kinds of sounds from the mill that probably would’ve made most people pull over and call for help. Instead of doing that, he hit the gas “pretty hard,” which is a daunting move for healthy Hellcat, never mind one in distress. He finally pulled over, at which point he smelled what he “believes to be gas.” Judging by the freaking massive inferno that erupted moments later, we believe he was right."

So what do you guys think ?

Any chance we can forward this to the local PD.
The video of him burning out and doing over 100 and almost rear-ending someone (@3:10 - 3:45 mark) in a 45mph zone.

Maybe yes maybe no.

Could be a hormone imbalance, stress, injury, illness, things you can't necessarily choose. However if it is a bad diet lifestyle then yes.

I skimmed through the video while eating lunch at my desk with no volume. Below are my results.

1. The guy is clearly moron - I'm glad I personally don't know him or have to deal with him.
2. I see children in this video....someone bore this mans seed????
3. that thing he does with his teeth and his bottom lip makes me want to punch him.
4. He clearly bought a Hellcat so people would think he's cool or take the time to talk to him. This is the only foreseeable reason from my perspective that ANYONE would want to talk to him.
5. I instantly wonder how much of the cars problems are due to his weight and his lack of respect for the vehicle.
6. He deserves this. I was so disgusted I made a list.

What an idiot! WTF is with the kid in the middle of the video? Is he also a pedo or just a creep? People, stop posting pics/vids of your kids online. Especially in your dating profiles!

He's tearing up b/c he forgot to roast marshmallows while it was burning.

If you are eating 5,000 calories a day and start eating 2,000...you will lose weight. Regardless of the situation.

Now back to the car related thread.

I'll agree with no kids on dating profiles. I starting talking to a girl on a dating website a few years ago who all of her profile pictures where of her baby. I talked to her like she was a baby the entire conversation. Things like, "Hey baby, aren't you a little young to be on here", "What time do I need to feed you", "I'd ask you out for dinner but I'm afraid I would have a hard time finding a five star restaurant with formula on the menu" etc. Weird thing is that we ended up meeting and she was extremely attractive.

You forgot "American."

Seriously, though...I'm always reminded of how disgusting people in this country look every time I travel out of state.

I have not watched the video, nor do I think I should, but it sounds like the break-in-process was not followed
