Not sure how much damage it ended up with, but from the looks it threaded the needle around vehicles and trees about as well as could be hoped for.

What was the 2nd rev up noise a few seconds after you heard the crash? Did he try to immediately drive out?

probably could have taken a little more care driving it out and off the curb, I guess he was in a hurry before the cops showed up?

Moron.... You don't do **** like that when you can hit other cars.

Everyone parked where this happened should legally be allowed to stand in line to slap that guy...

Luckiest curb hurdle I've seen in a long time.

I would say this about that.... like someone said - play silly games win stupid prizes...and everyone one of us at some point in our lives has made similar errors in judgement.

hopefully that video makes someone think twice about disabling the TC in one of these cars. Good reminder to learn from others mistakes.

glad he's ok and nobody else or their property was damaged.

I was glad that it was just a poverty splitter on the front of that thing.

OUCH!
