I say fake, but only because I don't read Jalopnik and I don't trust the man.

Fake, there are no plates on the cab in these pictures, but, there is a plate in the video.

Exactly what I was thinking. Even if some of the outside shots were staged beforehand, you can't argue with THOSE EYES.

Absolutely real. He goes genuinely crazy and that reaction is pure fear. I'm sure they drove the car around a bit afterwards to get some high-quality footage for the vid, but that hardly makes it 'fake.'

None of the outside shots were with Travis in the car. So was the ride really that crazy sliding rally drift job they made it out to be? Or was it merely Travis being kidnapped by a convict and driven around recklessly with exciting but fake exterior shots?

I also have a hard time believing a multi-billion dollar corporation like Pepsico and Gawker would accept the liability.

"Or was it merely Travis being kidnapped by a convict and driven around recklessly with exciting but fake exterior shots?" Merely?! Even if it's that, isn't that pretty insane?!?! Haha.

I wonder if he was supicious about the 2014 Taxi.

Driven quickly, but not crazily. I still think it's fake. No company would take that risk because some colleagues think he'll be ok with it and won't sue them.

I'm with you. I believe it was both.

They filmed some of the practice runs for some exiting footage to mix in with the actual prank scenes.

Now, if Travis can get to work and figure out who was doing that driving, that would be great.

He said he was, but just figured "they have them down there".

Seriously? A whole third of you think Travis is that good of an actor?

You can hear genuine 'fear of death' in his voice...

I just said fake because I see no other explanation for the incredible disappearing and reappearing trunk antennas
