No, not even a tiny bit LOL. If real it would be a cute, albeit cruel prank. Staged it's just 8th-rate beginners-level stunt driving on a closed track. Wow!! A guy doing do-nuts!! Stop the presses!! That's really amusing to you?

A couple of 12 year olds who are turned on by watching a guy do do-nuts are hardly the type of powerbase to make me rue my position on the outside of it. Finding stupid people to support an idiotic position does not make the position any more viable, it just makes a person appear desperately needy for trying to find validation in a group of fellow idiots.

It's a driver doing do-nuts, it's something guys are fascinated by right up until they get their drivers license and learn how to do it themselves which takes about 20 seconds because it's so easy. After that the fascination is gone. Take another look at the video. A careful look. The driving is something my girlfriend could do.

So please explain what part of that video you find so entertaining. I've seen better driving on Top Gear watching James May attempting to powerslide a Fiat Panda.

I thought the actor playing the car salesmen was funny, that's all, no one here is claiming this is "unbelievable driving skills", just that it's funny, lighten up, life is short..
 
The dealership requires you to give them a photocopy of a valid drivers license before any test drive, he said mike, license says jeff. I can see someone doing this in real life and getting arrested for it.

I'll send you a hundred bucks if you post a video of your girlfriend driving your car like that. Post must include a dated pic of said girlfriend, and you. $150 if it's a nice car, say, greater than $35k sticker. Stunts must be peformed on asphalt, in daylight, around obstructions similar to those in the posted video. At least part of the stunt must be performed in a lot near parked cars. No damage to car, surroundings, or property is allowed*. Posters on this thread will vote to judge whether she drove "like that."

*The person making this offer accepts no liability for any damages or injuries that may result as a consequence of said girlfriend performing the stunts described. Any monetary reward is limited to the amounts mentioned in the offer.
 
Has to be fake. No corporate lawyer would sign off on getting a perfect stranger into a car to be driven in that manner. Could you imagine the lawsuit if something went wrong. Even if nothing went wrong the guy could still sue for emosional distress or some crap like that.

Deal. You set up the CLOSED COURSE and get the necessary permits for doing that under the same carefully controlled conditions as are shown in the video and you've got a bet. It's kind of scary that you think that sort of driving it beyond the skill level of anyone. My grandmother could do 90% of that and she's been dead for 10 years. I'm sure you'll be a lot less impressed once you get a drivers license of your very own.

I was! When I got mine in 1976 it felt great. Were you born then?

Btw, I will pay a lot more if you get your dead grandma to do it. PM me for details.

Typical copout BS once you got called out.
 
it was totally fake, and I think coca cola should do it for real. it would completely dominate this ad campaign. fuck lawsuits. it would turn into millions of profits, being sued would be cost of business.
