Your cars and trash cans are not safe around this guy!
Recently posted in a /sub on Reddit, aptly named r/IdiotsInCars, a user shared footage from their local neighborhood watch group of an ’85-87 Chevy Monte Carlo that lost control while doing a burnout and, well, hit everything nearby. While burnouts are inherently easy (on a track, with permission), this driver was apparently unfamiliar with the process of stopping. Luckily, the only thing that hurts is a few stationary objects and not someone’s children.

The footage shows a very narrow street and a large honking Monte Carlo swinging out and turning into it. No matter how narrow the street is, what happens next is a demonstration of a complete lack of basic driving skills and vehicle control.
Why the driver chooses this spot to get burned out is a mystery, but I’ve seen stranger spots with tire tracks. It’s also unclear if the driver is showing off off camera, but there were people outside who just seemed to walk away, unimpressed when the burnout started.
It takes longer for the smoke to actually start than the rest of the video, which is the first clue that the driver may want to learn how to do a burnout before actually trying it but skipped that step. The second clue is that the Monte Carlo will fly almost as soon as the smoke starts. Maybe he was shocked? Maybe he was trying (badly) to have a rolling burnout? Anyway, he completely loses control of the car and crashes into some trash cans and two parked cars.
After all that, Buddy decided to slowly back away, as if the footage had been reversed in slow motion. His escape attempt goes just as smoothly as his burnout ‘skills’, so well done.
