Tear It Down

Fighting this society, there's only one way to win
We must stick together through all thick and thin
Cross over the line of your stubborn, closed mind
Don't be surprised at what you might find
Things you thought wrong may have always been right
You'll probably find fault in your reasons to fight
You really don't differ from what i can see
Ain't it time to unite, or is it just me?
Just as we watch them build this empire
So they shall watch us tear it down
If not with our words, then with the power of our sound!
Fighting this society, there's only one way to win
We must stick together through all thick and thin
Cross over the line of your stubborn, closed mind
Don't be surprised at what you might find
We are the future, so let's get things straight
Combine our forces before it's too late
Fighting ourselves can't go on any longer
We must fight together if we want to grow stronger
We can tear it down
We must tear it down
We will tear it down

The fact that he didn’t stop when he realized the throttle was sticking is insane. If my throttle was sticking in my 130hp grocery getter I wouldn’t drive it. Arguably this guy shouldn’t be driving any car.

Brian S

Parking brake????????? If he had one he could have pulled it and done a 180 Having a car without one is just plain wrong

NeverMetTheGuy

That's logical.

Peter Darr

Just adding that he couldn't down-shift due to a "trick" Drag Race shifter and 2 wives divorced this tool while he spent $200,000 on the car.
Add not having a working parking brake to the mix - - maybe he shoulda pulled the 'chute !!

zubir

@Peter Darr ye and even worse, Uncle Tony stated in another vid that you can indeed downshift with the ratcheting shifter, you just have to know how to do so

This dude actually built the car himself in his garage over a 20 year time period. All that wrench and he didn’t understand how to stop it in a emergency situation.
The brakes were 17 years old…..nuts.😵‍💫

The pre drive interview is the shadiest foreshadowing I think I’ve ever seen, there’s gonna be curb your enthusiasm memes on this.

YUNG 829

GamerDrive

There was no way he was going to stop, when he drove through his brakes it was all over.
