I wouldn't enter a burn out contest, especially with 10 miles on the odometer!

That's one way to break in your car.

Another similar mode would be to smash out a window and steal your own stereo.

2 things stand out to me.

1. 10 miles? Did he just pick it up at the dealer and drive out to the burn out contest? Or is this a "test drive"?

2. After trashing the front end he turned on the hazard warning flashers. What's the point in that?

A fool and his money are soon parted.

Sometimes I think IQ tests should be required for a driver's license and a few other things, like conceiving a child.

Well it was a C7 coupe (most produced) now if it was a convertible! "AND" it probably wasn't covered by his insurance company. Oh well, not my car.

That music explains it all. Nothing good could come out of listening to that.
