Impressive. From Watch this! to Oh, shit! in five seconds flat.

Impressively missed the lamp and the tree.

An incident like this happens at almost every car show, cruise-in, or cars-and-coffee-style event I’ve been to over the years. The organizers always ask people not to peel out as they leave (and cops watch the exit at some events) but some idiot always does it anyway. They pour hundreds of thousands of dollars into these cars, then never spend even one day on a track learning how to drive them. Peeling out on the street is about the stupidest thing you can do. Everything to hit, cold tires, unpredictable road surface, no margins for error. Not to mention kids and dogs minding their business.
Goddam though that car is all ate up with motor. There’s nothing like the sound of a great big blower sitting on a lumpy cam.

What went wrong? I’ll tell you what went wrong - he HIT THE WALL. I don’t think he meant to do that.

The only thing more dangerous than a burnout in a car like that would be a right turn.

Driven, as such cars frequently are, by a showboating moron. Smooth move, Speed Racer!

From the look of that fender, he’s already got a gallon of bondo on it. Love that the bumper is just somewhat bent but hardly bruised, though. Of course.

Maybe he was thinking that and singing the theme song to himself. “Adventures waitin’ just aheeeeeeaaaaaaad!”

It will be cheaper to rebuild the wall than to fix the car.

As much as this hurts to say given that the 1970 Chevelle was my absolute dream car as a teenager…

It’s always one guy who ruins it for everyone, isn’t it? I mean, how did he expect his burnout would go?
He just finished driving through a field of wet grass and mud just prior!
