I can't believe he didn't drop the camera while his car was on fire.....seriously dude, using two hands might have worked better for you.

The ONLY logical reason I can think of for keeping the camera rolling is that he might get mad views on his youtube and recoup some of that repair $$$.

Either way, damn, I'm getting a fire extinguisher for the garage.

Why the hell would you leave a positive terminal completely exposed like that? If you add or change a terminal, it should be covered.

I am not sure why he spent the time to disconnect the battery. I would have grabbed the jersey (4:38) and used it to smother the fire out.

A perfect example of why one should take the time to disconnect the battery before playing around in the engine compartment with something metal.

Also make sure to have some sort of protective cover over the (+) terminal.


This all happened because the owner was too lazy to bother with either. Good thing he recorded it all whilst his car was on fire. Stupid is as stupid does I guess.

Looks fake as hell to me. But perhaps I'm in denial about the depth of stupidity some can achieve.
