Influencer accidentally torches his $400,000 Ferrari F8 shooting a scene in a highly flammable cornfield

Remember that guy who threw a bunch of stuff at the bubble protecting his Ferrari?

*********************************************************

Watching this guy throw stuff at the plastic bubble protecting his Ferrari is remarkably cathartic. Okay, apparently there is such a thing as a Car Capsule, which appears to be a nigh impenetrable car cover designed to keep your expensive collector's car from getting damaged.

*********************************************************

Well, the car's gone now.

Here's what happened.

He decided to drive the $400,000 car through a dry cornfield at top speed to make an epic video, but then cornhusks start to build up inside the wheel wells and friction caught them on fire.

Then, because you can't put out a cornhusk fire with a can of Red Bull, the fire spread to his rental van and burned up all his equipment too.

Watch him literally burn up $500,000 in vehicles and equipment.

[Warning: Lots and lots of mostly censored language]

VIDEO AT LINK..............

On the upside, the video has gone viral and racked up millions of views, so he'll probably make his money back in shared advertising.

(This guy is known for wrecking cars for money, after all.)

That's the internet for you.

“We know a thing or two, because we’ve seen a thing or two.”

Would Farmers pay out for this nonsense? I mean, it was in a cornfield.

Why didn’t he drive the car or the van away from the cornfield?

Seems like an insurance scam......................

Those dumbass, Dorito munching, Tik Tokers aren’t very bright. The fact that they can “influence” so many people in this country demonstrates just how far America’s average I.Q. has fallen.

Well, he probably won't make that mistake again.

Probably.

He’s an “influencer?”

Makes perfect sense now.

Since he filmed it, I wonder if the insurance company can make the case that it isn’t liable.

It seems likely that his rich parents raised a very spoiled brat.

“””Why didn’t he drive the car or the van away from the cornfield?”””


The video shows how the fire started.

The guy’s YouTube channel is WhistlinDiesel. I’ve found him actually pretty entertaining in some of his earlier videos. Has some witty conversation throughout. I suspect he is a trust fund baby, as young as he is with mountains of money to burn. He’s making money now, but needed a lot to get started.

Interesting video of a neighbor stealing stuff from his property/mail. He filmed him and then confronted the guy. It was a heartwarming finale of contrition and ultimate forgiveness.

Another Tik Toker “Challenge” gone bad. It’s a miracle he didn’t kill a bunch of little Tik Toker Toddlers.

Stupid in so many ways.

Probably rich farmer daddy gave him the car which he thinks of as sort of a childhood Tonka Truck which he also probably never treated with respect. Probably one of those kids that took his shiny new metal trucks and bashed them with ricks etc.

But the best of all stupidity was the statement: “no matter what get the fire off the field” DUDE! LOL. While the OTHER car is parked right next to the sports car they are worried about the stubble—-ahhh can’t stand it 😹.

The crop has already been harvested, it’s not going to hurt anything if it burns some stubble off the field, it would help next springs crop. No wind so it’s not going to spread fast.

And look how those dummies let the slow fire spread to the next car!!!
