Wow, stupidity knows no bounds. Poor kid, poor car, poor garage (notice I didn't say poor father).

I've seen that before and still laugh like mad each time I see it. Who in their right mind was stupid enough to give that kid keys to daddy's new $60,000 Mustang?

How do you do that? I am in amazement that someone (14 or any age that can reach the pedals) could manage to drive a car from a stop 15 feet and through a wall without thinking of touching the brakes. I hope this kid is sent to the finest driving institution in the country, for everyones sake. Poor father, and as for the car well I rather it that one than the other one they showed.

I think that is why we must hold our clutch in to start the car. I'm guessing the mustage allows you to start without touching the clutch. So it must have been left in gear, and when it took off the kid had no idea what to do (even tho brake would have been a good option haha), plus he must have been really shocked. I bet he was going to try and show off and make everyone think he was a man when he reved it, but that sure didn't work

I think the kid panicked and forgot about the brake. Notice the Mustang surged a couple of times?

Dad's a true and pure dumba$$.

I would have to buy new shoes after that because at least 1 of them would have been stuck in that kid's ***.

+1 I'm sure I would have ripped his sorry butt out of the car and put at least one nice steel toed boot up there.

That car still had the window sticker in it! I don't know about everyone else, but by the time I was 14, I had the basics of driving a manual tranny down cold. Then again, I grew up in an area where my dad would let me drive on our property at a very young age. It was pretty much the norm in rural areas at the time, as I'm sure some of you know.

Shame on the kid for not having respect for his father's new car (he HAD to know that he was clueless with clutch operation theory), and shame on the father too, for giving an inexperienced kid the keys.

I'm just glad nobody got injured, and that it was JUST the car and the garage...

Old and it still makes me LOL. My first car was a mustang, had a full track car before I had a license. This kid deserved it.

LOL I saw this on country fried home videos. The kid got in the car and started it and popped the clutch and drove it through the wall. The kid got a 1000 bucks for the "here's your sign" award...

Can't say as I blame the kid, only a complete moron would give the keys to any human being on the planet that didn't know how to drive stick.

The kid and the dad need their butts kicked, the dad for giving the little grimlin the keys and the kid for having the nerve to ask about his bike after he just throttled the garage and the car. I do believe I heard dad tell John "to relax you'll get a new bike" Yeh John your getting a new bike just as soon as you put the garage and my car back together. Man I'm glad they didn't burn that video like I would have, stupidity run rampent is the funniest thing on the planet.
