I recall a similar story on Jalopnik in 1892 when a steam powered car crashed and blew up and painfully scolded dozens, then again in 1912 when a gas powered car blew up in a giant fireball after hitting a mule team and diving off the road. And here we are in 2016 watching a video of super dense batteries exploding. I…

Aw, man... I was really hoping to see them use it on a perp trying to escape on foot... so much disappoint.

And I point (in my head) and laugh when I cruise by in my V8 RWD car with winter tires on it.

And he sounds brilliant doing it!

Think about little kids, who are basically tiny drunks. They do things we think are stupid all day long.

As a Denver resident, you can add Audi’s to the list too. Approximately 0.00012% of both cars owners buy winter tires.
