So, did they upload the video? Sounds like a good one to watch.

Can we please stop blaming this on youtube, and start putting the blame on the attention whores that do this stupid crap?

Thank you.

The car losing control, flipping, and ejecting the driver who may still die is a way better video than just a little jump.

The real question is...

Peoria, IL or Peoria, AZ?

Someone needs to teach kids the right way to get on YouTube. Maybe NumaNuma or BubbRubb can teach them.

Shrill parents demanding Youtube shutdown instead of raising their children themselves in 3...2...

FYI -- You usually loose control of a car when it leaves the ground and has no tire to ground contact.

Also those must be some friends. All they had to do was video it and they even failed at that

Try that with a '87 Crown Vic and get back to me.

"The Valley's Home Page" and the cacti everywhere didn't give it away?

/Best looking Mitsushiatty I've ever seen

I blame MTV

Came for the fail pics, wasn't disappointed.

Back when I worked for Baroid (an oil field company about as big as Halliburton) there were a lot of back roads leading to oil rigs where the terrain was. . . to put it mildly, extreme. I hated my job, and would abuse the hell out of my company car.

I jumped a hill once on a dirt road and got a 1977 Plymouth Fury airborne for about 40 feet, Dukes of Hazzard style.

The bosses were always on my ass because I would wear out a car in 8 months and 75,000 miles; they wanted to see me nurse one along for 1 full year and 100,000+.

Never could do that.

\\ can't imagne why/

There's a much easier way to get airborne

Darwin: I would of gotten away with it if it wasn't for the meddling kids!

/shakes fist in air

I did that with my '73 Monte Carlo when I was 16.

\without the fail of course

"...you can see where this is headed."

into a tree?
off a cliff?
into a fireball?
into a farmer's market?

...I got more...

70 to 85 and lost control... tsk tsk tsk.

Hack Patooey: So, did they upload the video? Sounds like a good one to watch.

Police said the driver's friends were too scared to record the video with their cell phone camera due to high speeds, estimated at 70 to 85 miles-per-hour.

double fail!

Of course the biggest "fail" here is the fact that the stupid kids didn't even manage to record the crash.

I was traffic court a few years ago. The kid before me had a 135 mph speeding ticket. Turns out it wasn't his first 100+ mph ticket. The judge asked him what kind of car he drove. He said "a Nissan Sentra." I looked at Nissan Sentras online and decided this guy must be the greatest tuner in New Jersey.

"Police said the driver's friends were too scared to record the video"

That's a beating. I wanted to hear those "Oh god this was a bad idea" screams.


/is R Kelly stuck in the closet because his fetishes are illegal?

Tellef said following the YouTube beating of a Florida girl

Holy crap, youtube beat a girl? They should be arrested.

FTA: "Tellef said parents need to talk to their children about the website."

Pussies. As soon as a I could afford a car capable of 130+ MPH, I took it there. Alone. Then with people in the car. In the desert of course.

Sadly, my current ride tops out in the 160-170 range and I haven't taken it above 134 according to the GPS. I've lost my drive, apparently.

OMG BAN THE YOUTUBEZ!

The Spec-V could pull that off easily. But yeah, he'd still be driving a Sentra.

Don't you have to be at the gym soon?

Dont the stripes and Type R stickers make it go faster?

I did that (a jump) with my first motorcycle one night when I forgot my glasses, didn't see the construction signs and cones until the last minute thanks to all the freaking lights that were blinding me (the glasses would probably not have helped).

Simply, I ran into the part where the road ended, and jumped right into it for over 30 feet (distance) at about 6 feet high, right into sand.

The difference with these idiots is that I had a successful landing, and I didn't do it for attention.

Once I came to a stop, I got off the bike, and went and looked at where I landed (where the tire hit the sand so that how I could judged the distance) while the people in the cars that were stuck in traffic due to this construction all looked at me. I should have taken a bow, but I was actually thinking that I was lucky that I knew (or got lucky) how to handle my "flight" and didn't kill myself or damage the bike.

Got back on the bike and left... (the hole was at an angle further on and reconnected with the street).

After that, I was a little more careful, and did a few small jumps on streets that had small bumps, but nothing like this again.

Especially since the bikes I've had weren't built for this sort of stuff (street bikes / racers)

Today, we're teaching poodles how to fly.

My dad owns the last bone stock '94 Eclipse turbo left in the world, so I'm really getting a kick out of these replies.

If they were going for the unique stunt bonus they should have read this walk-thru

Maybe theri Dad should do what Bill Cosby's Dad did after the Chicken Heart incedent.

*whistles at stranger* "Come here and let me show you my dumb kid"

Man, he was ejected from the car? That means he wasn't wearing a seatbelt. So you're going to jump an intersection at 80mph and it doesn't occur to you to maybe strap in? Just this once?

feba: Can we please stop blaming this on youtube, and start putting the blame on the attention whores that do this stupid crap?

Agreed. When I was young, some teens (no, not including me) did EXACTLY the same thing -- speed through an intersection, try to get airborne, loose control, find self on the receiving end of some fail -- and they did it all just for kicks, not a single video or camera around. Teens will always do stupid life-threatening crap, no matter the technology.

YouTube guide:

WIN = No pay
FAIL = You pay

I don't get the motive. At least on break.com they'll give you 400 bucks for making a damn fool of yourself famously.

It's a Darwin Dandy, baby!

Teenagers these days........

/Get out of my kitchen!

The Invisible Sky Wizard wow that pic reminds me of



Also:

"I swear, officer, with god as my witness, I thought Mitsubishis could fly."

"They think these stunts are cute and funny and everything else, but they have very, very tragic consequences almost darwinned themselves," he said.

The Invisible Sky Wizard: Of course the biggest "fail" here is the fact that the stupid kids didn't even manage to record the crash.

I disagree..
IMO The biggest fail is trying this stunt with other passengers in the car. What purpose does the extra endangerment serve?

/doesn't make the would-be video any cooler
