Allow me to say, in this bloke’s defense, that the Chevelle has about 10 times as much power as anything his mom drove. Also they don’t handle nearly well enough to deal with that power.

Allow me to say, in this bloke’s defense, they really should not be allowed to build walls that close to the street. It is a real hazard for drivers and the homeowners are lucky that no one got hurt.

It looks to be a suburban neighborhood… maybe don’t go hot-rodding down a street that is probably 30MPH if that…There is literally no need for that. THAT is the real fucking hazard to PEDESTRIANS.

A modern Lexus has about 300hp, I think about the same hp as that modified car.
