WTF could possibly go wrong? This came up on a Facebook Mopar group. Nice looking Coronet. Front tire blocked so the owner could do a burnout inside the damn garage. When questioned why, he said the car had no brakes...
I have no other words for this act!

 
That was after the car went through the garage wall, across the yard, into a power pole and blacked out the neighborhood...just a guess!
 
Since the video is no longer available I’ll make a new one to replace it.
Anybody got a Hemi car I can borrow?
 
This one's not bad as hemi burnouts in garages go. 15:40 for the funzies.

 
Garage burnouts are fun, till you have to get the jack out so you can actually drive out the garage and not tear out the wall
 
I nearly turned my garage into a drive-through once with my Cummins. The linkage slipped off the clutch pedal as I was backing into the garage - basically side-stepping the clutch for me. Turns out the pin that the linkage rides on was worn from 210,000 miles of use; the E-clip had come out of the groove that was no longer there; and the linkage came off.

You don't stall a Cummins.

Trust me.

Fortunately, I had the presence of mind (amid a loud "ohshitohshitohshit" moment!) to turn the key off...the truck stopped about a coat of paint before the back bumper went through the back wall.

I removed the pedal and had a buddy weld material back to the pin. Grooved it with a Dremel for a new E-clip. And fabricated a bracket/fence that bolted onto the pedal, and put 1/4" thick flat metal at the end of the pin, just past the E-clip, to keep this from EVER happening again.

THAT will pucker you up right quick!

As for a garage burnout - with no video it's hard to tell what happened, but I know folks who have nudged the front bumper against things (utility poles, retaining walls, other cars) in order to do burnouts before....I could see that being a "good enough" idea for the guy in question?
