After this Lane Kiffin will recruit him to make the Rebels' offense more explosive.

Darwin Award contender?

It is truly difficult to comprehend the level of stupidity that is being displayed here, not just by the victim, but all the others involved.

Willing to bet weed and/or alcohol was impairing all of them.

[DIRTYSECRET]

Just what we need to hear.

[Mark17]

At first I thought it was the Bee. No one could be this stupid.

Darwin Award

They should teach fire safety and gun safety in all high schools.

Why don’t they?

[NorthMountain]

a bucket of old gasoline

< sigh >

Transporting gasoline in an open-topped container is industrial-grade stupid.

And it went downhill from there.

[Who is John Galt?]

...hold my beer...

[Red Badger]

Yes they can!.................

a teen lit it on fire thinking it would burn off the spilled gas but not damage the car.

It worked on the video game and cartoons.

He’s young and I suspect will have many more Darwin efforts. But this is one of the more impressive, non-fatal, first efforts I’ve seen

If someone isn't stupid already, being young, inexperienced, and on drugs will help make them that way.

[Wilderness Conservative]

Darwin understood the dumb and defective dont get to reproduce which prevents their dumb and defective genes from being passed on. Evolution is brutally efficient.

"Once the 17-year-old parked the car, he lit the spilled gasoline on fire, “believing it would burn off the gasoline but preserve the surface of the seat,”

Well DUH!..... can kids get educated any longer???

[Opinionated Blowhard]

In fairness, when he lights his farts, it doesn’t burn his pants.

[Deo volente]

Time to outlaw gasoline.

Oh yeah, they’re working on that...

In a part of my apartment complex (in the 70s) that had cars parking beneath the second floor apartments a car caught fire and set the apartments on fire, while it was burning I asked the fire investigator what happened and he said a young guy was using his zippo lighter to try and see how much gasoline was in the tank, the investigator had already talked to the guy and told me that he believed the guy really did just that.
