I guess I don’t quite understand why people like to destroy old cars at county-fair type situations, but it’s a tradition that’s been going on as long as there’s been rubes to gape at stuff getting wrecked. In any case, this junk Pontiac might have deserved better…

As with so many pranks gone wrong, the funniest part is the way the people behind the camera react. Turn it up and listen.

Dump Truck Gets Air

It’s not the most impressive jump, but it is impressive that it was even attempted in such a vehicle. The guy’s boss probably won’t think so, though.

Ghost Riding Makes CBS News
By Jen Dunnaway
Editor
It turns out that one of our favorite things to make fun of is a “deadly teen trend.” The newscasters bring to bear families of dead kids, brain-damaged kids, and a whole slew of home videos that you’ve already seen right here in the blog, to make this crucial point: ghost riding the whip is a potentially fatal form of hoonage. If you didn’t already know this, take note.

Students Saran Wrap Teacher’s Acura RSX
Tampa Sports Car Examiner
Car pranks are great, especially when on a level that they simulate a blown motor. Not as technical but still just as fun, using Saran Wrap on a vehicle is thought to be safe but actually causes damage called microabrasion. Read more about how Saran Wrap can kill your paint job at Tampa Sports Car Examiner.

Check out this following video of a suburban hoon being tracked by an Australian police helicopter using the latest thermal imaging technology. You can see everything from the burning tires, hot engine bay, and even a dude taking a leak at 3:20! But do donuts really justify the cost of the chopper? Read more at Tampa Sports Car Examiner.

What Not To Do With A Skateboard
By Jen Dunnaway
Editor
There’s this weird law of physics: if a skateboard can collide with a car, it probably will. While the best advice is always to move your car before there’s any chance of damaging contact, there is of course plenty of youtube evidence of car-skateboard encounters that do not end badly for the car. Only this: if you’re going to attempt an ollie-over-car, please do not do it with a nice vintage vehicle. Nobody minds a few idiots or skateboards sacrificed–last time I checked, they’re still making plenty of both–but jeopardizing a mint four-door Torino? That was a bit difficult to watch…

Toyota Corollas are known for being many things, but the ability to be driven on two wheels isn’t exactly the first of their attributes that come to mind. Watch!
