Default Is this a fake or real video of an upset C7 driver?


Has this (someone parked this close) ever happened to you in your real life?

Sadly, looks like it may be real.

Even sadder is that guy makes the rest of us Vette owners looks like big A-Holes...

& even more Idiotic acting like that, with the camera rolling...

Usually people who do what the Jeep owner did will be very careful not to mess up the nice car in any way. They're just harmlessly poking fun at the nice car's owner.

Well, I guess the second video answers the OP's question.

My flash player is on the fritz, so I'll assume by the couple comments that this guy has improved his acting skills?

I don't think the Vette driver was looking for trouble where he parked. But with the video evidence he may well have found trouble.

If this was real life, anyone who does what the jeep driver did by parking on top of a new car when the entire lot is open is just looking for trouble and should not be surprised if something happens to his car.

So in your world vandalism is acceptable? Nice.

Why would someone fake and post a video like that?

This is fake. I think I saw a few others with the same guy. Furthermore, he would have to be a complete idiot (and he appears to be) to post what he did on the net. Plus, you could barely hear him speak but you heard the hissing of the air coming out real clear. It was like she had a bottle of air cleaner and just let a little out for the film.

While parking that close is an inconsiderate thing to do, it doesn't justify someone damaging the car.

Where did you come up with that conclusion? Anybody who would do what that guy did is looking for trouble and unfortunately there are plenty of nuts in the world with road rage or in this case parking lot rage.

That's ridiculous, even if it is staged.

What a complete waste of time it was to make those videos, what possible purpose does it serve other than to make himself look like a complete tool? He gives Corvette drivers a bad name, I can just see this video making the rounds on other car message boards....

The purpose of the videos was to poke fun at the ignorant that park too close to other people's nice cars.
The woman played the ignorant driver and the guy did a real bad job of playing the satirically angry car owner.
