I will say though that life isn't as good as it was during the time right after WWll up to the mid 60's...
TL;DR

We need to win another world war to make life good again.

I know it was not a professional driver but even if it were, i would not be crowding in getting closer and closer to the vehicle. You never know what the driver is going to do next.

Sometimes bruises and broken bones signify a "learning" experience.

Just what we needed. More reasons to make the general public think people who own Corvettes are idiots.

At 2:20, you see the guys arm flying thru the air.

We expats here figure that since they have no political freedom or access to women, the gov't allows this so they can blow off some steam. Oh yeah, they won't wear seat belts as it's considered contrary to their religion.

Red Adair, the oil well fire expert said that the fires weren't dangerous, it's the crazy drivers here, (in Kuwait).

wages are down (because they have no real skills, because real skills require hard work).

Viral videos are just anecdotes.
Nice spin. Common sense rates also down. See above.

Driving near the edge or out of control near people is only cool on a racetrack where people are safe from the driver's mistakes.

It's damned fun to have 400+ HP in your car, but use it wisely for crying out loud.

Very true.

I've heard plenty of stories from Boomers and Post War Cohorts of gaining bruises and broken bones learning............

There just aren't videos from those eras, so it is real easy for an old timer that already learned their lessons without having video proof to sit around and talk about how stupid a generation is......... even though they did plenty of stupid stuff.


This high horse attitude has to stop. It really just makes people sound ignorant.

Awesome how the spectators line up along the sides to see what the drift karma gods are going to bring them today!

The best part is I don't see any Corvettes in these videos!

Corvettes are pretty rare. If they want a two seater it's a Ferarri, Lambo, McLaren or some other exotic.
