Out of Control: Engine Bay Drifting!
By John Coyle
Deputy Editor
This was uploaded to StreetFire this morning, and the description—”Just plain stupid…”—cracked me up. But as someone who’s done tons of “stupid” things in pursuit of a good time, I’m more inclined to call this guy’s stunt totally bad-ass. I mean, hanging out the door is one thing, but climbing into the engine bay while the car is turning donuts? That takes a serious set of stones. Obviously, said stones would get seriously mangled if this daredevil slipped, but hey, life is short. Let’s just hope we don’t see another clip of this dude with “fail” in the title emerge…

thats cccrrraaaazzzzyyyy! but pretty cool though. And why is everyone so uptight and calling this stupid? Maybe it is but then again, racing is dangerous but do people call it stupid?

I just saw a guy almost kill himself doing this on YouTube titled “guy runs himself over”…the car actually high-centers on the guy and is stuck in a full-throttle burnout on top of him for several seconds until some folks can flip the car off of him!!!
There’s another on YouTube where a “guy tries to change a car tire while it’s doing donuts”……ENJOY!

for some reason standing on the hood of your car while its at full throttle like that doesn’t seem like the greatest idea ever. so what would you have done it it decided to catch grip?

Looks like he had the *Club* pinned on his wheel to maintain the turn.. most likely another stick of some sort holding the throttle. Would have been hiliarious if….well not really….
This was just plain stupid. Im glad he got in and shut it down be fore drifting into the building. He would have been blown clear, but the car….The CAR! would have been mangled up pretty good. Damn Fool

I have to wonder if someone else was driving slouched down in the passenger seat 9right hand drive) or something? How would the car keep up the turn and throttle? Either way, it’s pretty cool… ANOT THAT I AM GOING TO TRY IT!

Not so much stones as a lack of intelligence. That takes pure stupid, without impurities of smartness.

well he might have a little balls but maybe he’ll learn not to be an idiot when his foot slips and it falls onto the fan (if its not electric) or onto the exhaust manifold/header, i would have laughed my ass off if the read end smacked into the building, but its a fine line between having balls and stupidity lol
