Almost any Jerry Bruckheimer film.

My audition for a part in a Bruckheimer film. S'up.

Oh my! That scene reminds me of a narrowly missed crash I had when I’d only had my DL for about 2 months: I was driving a 70’s model Mustang and had a few friends in the car. It had just dumped about 10” of snow in the suburbs of Chicago. I was going down a street, very similar to the one in the clip you posted, and decided to get the car to fish tail a few times on the snow packed street. Well, the couple fish tails turned into 3, then 4, then 5 and got increasingly wider and wider as I started to lose control. I ended up sliding off the road into people’s yards that had about a foot of accumulated snow in them. The car was doing 360’s through the yards, being propelled by the existing momentum. I narrowly missed a fence (unlike your clip) and narrowly missed a yard light mounted on an iron pole. I slid through 3 yards, coming to a stop in a driveway that a man had just about finished shoveling the snow out of. He was standing there watching this spinning Mustang full of teenagers coming towards him, as it came to a stop in his driveway. The car was PERFECTLY lined up heading towards the street when it stopped. So I just put it back in first, drove to the street, and was on my way like it was nobody’s business! LOL!!!! I’ve often wondered what went through that guys head as he watched it all.
