0:00 [Music] so a uh driver recently had just won uh by auction aka purchased a new car for 704 thousand dollars 704 000 uh-huh it is a supercar a 2006 heritage edition for gt oh oh okay yeah and then they're like super limited right yeah yeah yeah shortly after purchasing he smashed it into a tree oh and completely trashed in front of the vehicle it goes down in value when you drive them off the wall [Laughter] they do say that they do say that they sold it because you can't do that either yeah yeah he smashed it into the tree uh he's a 50 year old uh who had won this auction and the reason why

0:52 he crashed it into a tree is because he was unfamiliar with how to drive stations god driven stick you're about to be at 50 and not knowing how to drive a ████ stick i'm buying a stick car that's 700 000. like if you're in your 50s today you definitely know how to ████ yeah because that's all they had in here dude i drove my truck off the lot having no idea how to drive stick but that was worth twenty thousand dollars like this is a ████ crazy thing dude i worked valet for years you know like the requirement is you have to drive stick you know how many people didn't know how to ████ drive stick in valet i've heard that's the screechings that's all ████ up that's total isn't it that's ████ up oh yeah it's over it's over that's a palm tree too man hey think about how confident he was

1:42 getting into the car ████ started he's like what's this what's his other pedal hey man i won this ████ ████ what stupid thing is like even if you don't know how to drive stick the brake is still the same yeah unless you're like no and then you don't know and you press the clutch that's probably what happened this dude puts his sunglasses on he's like siri take me to ████ right into the tree man i just thought my nephew had a dry stick and we like to rode this like 350z oh you turtle to teach and just ████ it up you can just smell the burnt clutch yeah oh and that smells ████ return it to him and be like it kind of smells like rubber i don't know why i don't know why it was like this the clutch is all ████ up dude you know that's a good idea i think that's how you do my girl how to drive like a car

2:33 yeah with someone else's car he wants to drive his like his dad his dad passed away and his dad left him a really nice corvette limited thing so we're like you're not gonna learn on that thing you're gonna no you're gonna learn on someone else's ████ that's not where you wanna ████ learn you gotta go you guys ever watched these videos where like super sports cars are getting ████ ████ up from what oh that's so satisfying like oh they're just being dicks out in public like trying to drive around somebody in the rain and then he just goes into the wall oh yeah or like the mustang ones right the two corvettes that were drag racing on the road and they hit each other good i guess yeah the instant karma ones are so funny

3:24 and then they smash into something it makes me so happy i could watch it i could watch that ████ for a week straight and not even move and just piss and ████ myself dude it's ████ crazy oh god damn all right yo i hate those guys they drive my street ████ dude it's cathartic i thought i had something i was like oh i just processed everything you just get me you get me prescribed medicine for constipation i'm gonna send you a link ████ trust me and this are our pretty much manual transmission cars like all discontinued now there should be it's really well only for sport it's it's they still do it for like sports cars because people like that but but a lot of times they're doing like the like you know like the negative plus stuff yeah that's weird so you got the option it's not cool looking at all paddles just doing is actually faster

4:15 right it's technically faster but it's not the thrill you know what has a weird one is uh the audi uh r8 that uh shift uh stick shift it's like it's like the um m32 yeah like they have it's like weird you see this makes the ████ quiver yep yeah yeah this little thing what do you do no they don't like it yeah they don't like fingers as much as we think they do yeah i'm finding out [Laughter] later in life this yeah yeah you're grooving two hands on the steering wheel it just doesn't look sexy it doesn't look like you're confident versus like this yeah this ████ yeah this is that artsy ████ right right right right right we're intuitive have you driven a right-hand drive stick before it's pretty weird oh no i can't even imagine it's crazy oh really yeah oh yeah it's all on the other side yeah

5:05 well the clutch is still is the same it's still on the left but it's just a bunch of gasoline yeah it's like brushing your teeth with your office oh okay you know how to do it yeah yeah but you just feel unpracticed so it all feels virgin i'm a crash for sure i'll be like that car crash at 35 miles an hour oh ████ what an ████ don't think about christmas that's what i feel like he got into first gear and then he just yeah he just ████ with gundam into a tree it does that he thinks it's like ████ tissue paper that's a ████ excuse he was ████ up yeah for 35 miles an hour sick ass oak tree i'm all right yeah oh hey that's your ████ right that's your ████ right we all know chapelle loves college i hope i hope when you leave by the way we're like man that guy ████ oak
