I kinda like the way his body was steering the line he was attempting to drive.

Haha awesome! What a clown. Guaranteed his story to his friends went something like this:

"Dude, I was totally smashing up the twisties crossing lanes and ****, then I after hitting like 150 on this straight my car locked up and threw me off the road. I totally could of handled it but the car messed me up"
"...we saw the video you posted, your an idiot"

Ha... yup. After trying various mounting locations, I think this is the best single action cam location.

Yep, it received a nice center-punch most likely. My experience working NASA safety and such for years seeing kiddies in M3's and Z06's and such is that usually these guys are OK because the car is so forgiving and truthfully, they are never getting anywhere near the limits of adhesion, which impairs their ability to learn.

I have seen folks execute some 4-lane diagonal freeway exits from the fast lane and things of the like - last one was a white 335i coupe - hard right into debris next to onramp - where if the person was in an older car without all the electronics, they would have folded it in half by now, but sadly, the car's engineering and electronics keeps the natural selection at bay. This kid showed that even if you drive your car at high speed toward a large solid stationary object, you're going to be mostly ok.

Yes this guy had no idea what he was doing, but if he is able to not crash the Mustang for a while he will become a much better driver due to the less capable car. If that makes any sense.

He should've had his NAV turned on so at least his co-driver could've warned him of the approaching curve in the road.

But then again these were stupid kids driving a car beyond their capabilities.

Obviously his co-driver called out the wrong turn!

A little debris hit, looks like it'll buff right out.

At one point the kid's head and shoulder are completely out of the window. At least he had his seatbelt on.
