This Is Why People Mock Mustang Drivers
Read the full story on The Auto Wire
To the disappointment of some enthusiasts, there are some good reasons why so many mock Mustang drivers online. You've probably heard 'it's always a Mustang' when a video of one crashing while leaving a meet or doing something else stupid is posted. But this footage of a guy leaving a car dealership lot, crashing on his way to the street proves why he and others are mercilessly mocked.First of all, the guy isn't even driving a V8-powered Mustang GT. You can clearly hear he's behind the wheel of an EcoBoost, which we know means to many pony car enthusiasts he's not really one of them.
Second, he's listening to some plain awful music. Does the guy have zero taste? And is he feeling all cool listening to his crappy tunes that he doesn't stop to think maybe he doesn't know how to drive the car?
Third, his hand positions are some of the worst we've ever seen. While there are plenty of people who think the whole ten and two thing is how you're supposed to grip the steering wheel – it's really nine and three – this guy opts for the one-handed method.

It's not like he's driving stick and so he needs his right hand to shift. No, we're pretty sure he's holding his phone with this right hand because dude is too cheap to pop for a GoPro and mount to film his awful driving properly.
Top top it off, he does the underhand grip on the top or bottom of the wheel, giving him the least amount of smooth control possible.
Finally, we're pretty sure he switched off traction control before filming this little sequence. Why? We guess so he could drift, or make a horrible attempt at it. He obviously is far too overconfident.
What we really want to know is if this guy learned his lesson, or is he going to try this again while leaving his local Cars and Coffee meet? If so, your safest place to stand will be in the middle of the road, far away from any sidewalks. Don't say we didn't warn you.

Corvette goes airborne in dramatic drag race crash video
A drag racer walked away from a harrowing crash after the Corvette he was racing at World Wide Technology Raceway in Illinois went airborne. The video, taken during a high-speed test run on May 31 for the VP Racing Fuels Heads-Up Shootout Series, shows driver Jason Hoard's car lift off the ground and crash into the track and tumble onto the embankment on the side of the raceway. "Everything was fine absolutely until the second that it wasn't," Hoard said in a June 4 YouTube interview on "The Wes Buck Show." "I was fine, then it literally felt like the car was going backwards. And I (made) myself small in the seat and I immediately thought this is not good.' Drag racing outlet Extreme 660 Drag Racing, which captured the video and posted it to Facebook, called it "the worst wreck we've filmed." Hoard credited the car's safety gear for walking away with minor injuries following the crash. He noted in the interview that the impact left him unconscious. "I'm super sore, and if you saw me moving around, I'd look like a 95-year-old dude," Hoard said. He added that he had searched the internet for concussion symptoms. "I've been in a bit of a brain fog this week ... I have some floaters in my right eye. I went to the eye doctor, and she said there's some bruising," Hoard said. NewsNation reported that track staff and the National Hot Rod Association have launched an investigation into the crash. Drag Illustrated reported that the crash took place during a test pass at non-NHRA sanctioned event, though it took place at an NHRA-sanctioned facility. "Each WWT Raceway drag racing event features an ALS (Advance Life Support) Ambulance Unit staffed by paramedics specially trained in responding to racing crashes," a statement provided to the network reads. "The WWT Raceway Safety teams were rolling to the crash site while Jason was still rolling and were at the scene of the crash less than 30 seconds after it occurred."
