the old adage, "more dollars than sense" comes to mind.

Wish they'd told me so I could have come over and laughed at the idiots while I took down their license plate number. Happened not far from me. Some stupidity knows no bounds, and some people have way more money than sense.

EDIT: Apparently not. For some reason I swore I read this article this morning after I woke up and it had happened in Seattle. I'll blame lack of coffee.

There are just some absolute idiots in this word. I feel sure these guys will get caught. Their parents are going to be so proud of them.

If you watch the video, at one point just after the car launches it looks like it's almost ready to go ass over teakettle. It would have been much worse if that had happened..

Supposedly the guy who did it posted his identity on Tik Tok basically flipping off the LAPD in the photo... a real brain surgeon.

Driver lucky, owner not so much. This was a rented car, would not surprise me if insurance fails to cover the damage.

Does not say if it was a rental company or private rental like Turo.

Almost certainly had to be Turo.

This fool should never be granted a license to drive anywhere. Ever.

Unfortunately when people do this $hit in a residential area it's usually an innocent bystander who gets hurt or killed and not the morons pulling off the stunt. Jerk offs!:swear:

I used to jump this hill with my dirt bike when I was in college. Good times.
