Anybody else seen this? He has some serious confidence or just dumb.

From the beginning he was just an accident waiting to happen, and it finally did. Thankfully he did not take anyone else with him. What a dumbazz.

I've seen the wreck portion of that vid before, and I've seen the first half separately. Never knew they were the same video broken up. That's been around for a long time.

That's been around for a few years. I had only seen the short clip of the accident before.
I used to feel bad; but not anymore. I had no idea he was actually practicing for that wreck.

I too had only viewed the crash portion of that video and thought that he had bad luck and no skill in trying to control power coming out of corners. Now after viewing the rest of the video, I have changed my opion to...he is just a dumbass.

Am I the only one to actually enjoy the end of this video?
I'd seen the last 30 seconds of this a while ago, but I never saw the beginning and didn't make the connection that it was the same car/driver until he go into the country road and I recognized that set of curves.
Like was said by others--a dumbass practicing for his accident. Too bad that another c5 is lost, but his insurance rates and record deserves it. Stupidity is its' own reward; the close-up of the tire shows that the fool was damn near on the steel belts. Glad he paid in full and it's especially pleasing that he did it solo and no one else (nor property) was hurt.
I bet money he's probably stupid enough to think this is something to brag about.

After the dipstick whacks the tree, one of the guys shooting the video says, "Go see if he's OK". That waited THAT long, to ask the question??!!
He WASN'T OK, from the moment he got into the car!
