He almost had me convinced he knew what was going on until he popped the hatch instead of opening the hood. Somebody should take away his license.

comments following the video say it was a joke; that the guy was having his clutch replaced and thought it would be a great joke to fake a burnout and instead toast the clutch. ??? still sounds rather lame.

On purpose??

If I was on video being so incredibly stupid and cluless I would make SURE it did not find its way to the internet.

Unless that was exactly what I wanted...
