Trying to Impress Your Girlfriend in a Fast Car Goes Wrong

I took my girlfriend at the time out there, taped a $100 bill to the dash and told her that if she could grab the money before we reached the end of the run it was hers. Like an asshole I popped the clutch in second gear at 2/3 throttle when the tower went green. Her arm whipped back behind the seat and she was screaming in pain.

Took her to the hospital to get checked-out and thankfully nothing was broken, just a bit of bruising. I felt really friggin' bad about the whole ordeal so I gave her the money to use as she wished, treated her out for an awesome dinner at a high-end restaurant then shopping for whatever she wanted, movie and a moonlight walk on the island marina. All totaled the final bill was just short of $1,700 not including hospital visit.

The bill I incurred for being a dick is a hell of a lot lower than what the jackass in the video will have to pay. Hope he learns his lesson. I did.

I believe you.What were you running.low 8's?

I wonder if that could have been a AE86, but I could be wrong tho. The engine sound is almost the same as my old AE86, all carb and high revs :-)

Dum ass

Sounds like an Aston Martin V8 but the dash looks like its an American muscle car not an exotic European car.....

Sometimes the lesson is deadly...Usualy not for the dickhead himself. More deads on the road, than in a shooting-field.
