Default Dumb Donut Ends in Disaster for C6 Corvette
Watch it here: Corvette Burnouts End with a Resounding FAIL

So many things wrong here. The too-close crowd, the genuinely bad donuts, and of course the finale. Luckily it was all caught on film. Thank goodness for the internet.

This probably ranks about No 4 on the top 10 list of things you don't want to do with a Corvette. Maybe this was really a Turkish destruction derby?

UM,THE VETTE GUY DID NOTHING WRONG IN THE VIDEO I LOOKED AT. It was the other knucklehead in the Fiat or whatever it is that lost it.

I now see why they call them donuts, cause you have to have a hole in
your head.

Maybe I'm too old, but I prefer mine at Dunkin.

Only thing the Vette driver did wrong was to have stayed in that little area with those other two cars trying to do donuts. Should have gotten outta there.

There was somebody leaning in his driver's window talking to him. What if that other car had been a few feet further closer to the door rather than the fender? The guy at the door would have been minus a couple of legs.

I don't know if I would call that a "disaster" but they are still a bunch of dumb A****s!

The damage you could see didn't look so bad, of course the problem is always the damage you can't see! Do Vettes in Turkey have airbags? I would assume they are gone now.

Not sure if the airbags will deploy in a stationary car, assuming he still had the motor running. Guy was a moron to be there, in any case.
