WTF. Crazy Porsche driver

I'm guessing no snow tires? It's from Canada.

With that sort of "driving", would it have made any difference with snow tires?

Installed new pedal kit. Screw for the gas pedal was too long and should have been trimmed. Hits gas, gas sticks, wrecks car. That's my story. Lol

The wheel came off because he rammed the car over the curb on the median twice, the second time with the car sideways which helped shear the bolts off. What an idiot. He was trying to save face by keeping on it and showing he was master, but Mother Nature decided to teach him that physics is the true master.

That a little gas was good. A lot more gas must be better?

I have never seen anyone shred tires and the wheel like that. One ripped off its lugs and the other cleared of its rubber. Someone said it might have been a kid. I don't want to be the dad getting that call.

I'd say the left rear wheel lugs may have been loose to begin with. Can't understand why he didn't lift off once he realized it was way beyond his abilities to control the car.

I don't think he ever did realize.. Maybe the video did go further and he said "heyy youtube, watch this.. i'm going to spin a 3-wheeled Porsche"

Perhaps forgot to torque the wheel bolts after changing the wheels and eventually was bound to happen.

slicks?

I've driven in chicago winter with summer tires and the car never skidded once I drive slow so maybe thats it. This looks like he was driving with slicks. Absolutely no traction. You have to feel for him. Must have been terrifying.
