I had a kid on one of my YouTube videos trying to convince everyone he was some kind of legendary rally driver. The problem was he kept saying things about rally that anyone who has ever competed, or even spectated, would know was patently false. Eventually I made mention of these flaws. He disappeared for a while, then came back with a photo of a couple of his old racing helmets to prove he was telling the truth:

Well now, don’t I feel foolish.

To be fair, that does count as proof that he has rallied. On the surface of the sun.

Edit: NVM. I totally over-thought that.

They are welding helmets.

They are welding helmets, not racing helmets.

Yeah, I just realized that about two seconds before you replied. I’ll go sit in the corner with my dunce cap now and a cup of coffee to make sure I pay better attention.

Maybe Nico Rosberg has an alternate identity?

Oh Jeebus! That’s screwed up.

I often wonder what YT commenters are like in person.

Probably like Hitler.

I refuse to believe this is real. He has to be trolling, right?

When did welding helmets become legal race helmets?

I still treasure the memory of my student who was convinced that all Panthers were AWD.
