Who cares. At 8,300 RPM A TDI would puke out its guts. And it’s about the experience, not the speed. You can get drunk off Pabst or champagne...your choice.

You obviously didn’t watch the video.

Definitely grounded to the ground.

I thought it was a noble sacrifice. “I’m going down! Here’s some traction; save yourselves!”

Talk about cars - you sound less stupid in that arena.

Over-generalization is overly general.

Texting and driving is negligence.

Rates could be lower but companies have to figure in costs to cover people doing stupid shit like this to their vehicles. Kids...what can you do? Oh that’s right, raise them not to be idiots.

Analogies, not your strong suit Fidel.

That’s not even funny...it’s one thing to squeal the tires or such but to absolutely screw over the rental company and potentially cause serious damage to a car really showcases the quality of person you are.

God almighty, what evil bastard set yall up THERE?

Not that I’m cynical about this or anything, but they know that nobody is going to pay any ticket on that car. And I’d further guess that it’s in an “underserved” neighborhood in general. The two factors go together synergistically.

Sounds like the LAPD alright. A few years ago, my neighbor had some sort of schizophrenic episode, “claimed” my driveway, then threatened to shoot me in the head. LAPD comes and only warn him. Minutes later he’s back, in my gated/fenced yard, and I’m back on 911. Cops show up again, pissed, and threaten to arrest ME…

Been to Koreatown just once. Little old Korean woman sold me a pair of nunchucks when I was like ten. Wicked.

i remember the days when there were no “nice parts” in ktown. its hipster heaven now.

I remember the first time I drove my then new wife thru Koreatown, I’ll never forget the look in her eyes seeing street signs in Korean! Priceless! I love (and miss) LA!

I do business over there and, yeah, it’s not where people who know how to use The Google would want to Airbnb. That said, tear-down homes there are around a million bucks so...it’s “LA cheap”!

I was going to say the same, what clued you in to the fact that this wasn’t a great area? Perhaps the 8ft chain link fence with razor wire around the quaint little pink house?

i know we’re being silly here, but if the guy had passed during this ordeal, we’d all jump to speak at his wake.

Thank you, Ms. Vito.
