I've been getting blasted all day about how I don't like when people put a reporter's life in danger doing a snow drift on an open public road.

I'm not asking you guys to go post on it, you've probably seen the article. Orlove was kind enough to call him an idiot asshat hero and all the FP idiots are treating the driver as JUST A HERO.

I'm just sick of this shit. Go have fun in your car. Go have fun in the snow, I'm all for that.

Just please, PLEASE, go find an empty parking lot to have fun in and don't put other people at risk, no matter how good of a driver you are or how good your car is, something could always go wrong when you're pushing it.

So to end my rant (which I so rarely make rants) - smash into a light pole, not a person on the side of the road please.

Here have a snow drift that doesn't involve random innocent people on the side of the road:

just stay away from innocent bystanders and i dont care what you do.

People seem to think my dislike of a guy putting an innocent at risk means i dont like fun and have no fun with cars.

how in the hell is Oppo the voice of reason over the FP?

I cannot lie, I have done it before when it was a clear road. I took an Audi into a fire hydrant for my efforts, and my girlfriend at the time was less than impressed

LOL

Yeah with all the silly shit we're in support of?

but like i said, if there's no one innocents in danger —-have fun! (until you hit a fire hydrant, then you're fucked, or not fucked as your gf was less than impressed)

I get what you're saying. Don't drift by people and that makes complete sense.

Buuuutttt …. if there was a news crew there, I'm not saying I wouldn't do exactly that.

The other thing that's worth pointing out is that the news woman was not looking and would have been unable to react if it had gone bad. I think you were absolutely right to call it out as reckless.

The problem is, we live in an all about me society. The theory is that since they didn't hurt someone, it's okay. And it's not. Shit happens. What if his accelerator were to stick? Or his steering went? Oh well, I was only having fun? Being an ass on the roads is really no different than driving drunk to me.

I'm with you. I just sincerely don't believe in putting random people at risk so you can have a laugh.

some people even said "it's her fault for not looking when a car is bouncing off the rev limiter behind her!"

no, it's her job to look in the camera and not get distracted. She's also operating under the assumption an asshole isn't going to pull a drift right next to a reporter. She couldn't even dodge if she wanted/needed to.

new 505 lady testing scenario, if she freaks out when you drift into a fire hydrant, she's not 505 material.

If the accelerator stuck or the steering failed, she'd be dead on a sunny dry day with responsible driving too.

It's dangerous and it's stupid. There are way too many variables in play, I don't care if you're Sebastian Fucking Vettel, you don't do shit like that on a PUBLIC road.

True. But driving like an asshat exacerbates the whole situation.

Look, I'm all for having fun in your vehicle. But there's a time and a place for it. And that wasn't it.
