Car spotters RATTED him out & got him arrested! 

*WOT

yeah that sounded peculiar to say the least, i mean, i dont know how i would act if i had the opportunity to buy a brand new gtr but from my experience with motorcycles you always have to do a break in period (not for the bike, most bikes nowadays can go to redline with no issue if you use good oil right from the dealership, the break in period is for the rider, ease into everything, dont end up wrapped in a tree etc) but im not a race car driver so what do i know ¯\_( ͡❛ ͜ʖ ͡❛)_/¯

@@renektop6820 r35s are known to break if you do donuts. The transfer case csnt handle it. Nothing to do with break in period. (Ofc its bad to hoon it with 50 miles on it)

​@@PointlessDrummer Yeah I understand his specific problem may not have been directly caused by driving like a petulant child in the break in period, but come on, even my mother knows about not hooning it in the break in period, he was either knowingly or unknowingly destroying that car, and I can't decide which would be worse. Anyway, the next time he decides to destroy a brand new car with his race driver skillz, I hope he drives it off a cliff as to saves us all from having to look at his silly little face as he plays his own skin flute telling the internet what a big cool boy he is and how much he loves trying to defraud anything that walks. What an absolute fully rigged douchebag.

Its the bank records in GA that got him caught in TN/NC

Only bring enough cash... otherwise they might take all of it using civil asset forfeiture

Always in cash, never in writing.

Also snitches are everywhere.

@@chefcc90 ah the land of the free

Awh no GTR lives an easy life, they were built to be driven

You don't buy this car or any sports car to drive it like a bitch. If you DO drive it like a bitch, just know that you're the minority in that regard.

Every time I see an R35 they're always using launch control and doing stupid street racing shit. Those cars just attract those kind of owners.

@@darrylmac6150 apparently they're not as shown in the video lol

@@jimtekkit So if I get a GTR I should use it to get groceries? Dont get me wrong, people being annoying all the time i.e. revving, launch control, making noise, are assholes, but that is not a car to be used for a regular vehicle. Actually I drive my daily beater like a GTR too, because its MINE.

It's the same guy that rented and exchanged multiple BMW's to drive on Nurburgring, then pretended that he knew nothing about the wear & tear, finally got busted by the rental company, then still tried to stop the cc charge in the back end....but ultimately eat the charges when cc company showed the documentation of damages he caused to the bimmers and the violation to the rental terms.

Yeah, dude seems like a douche who doesn't like to be told no. Crying about photographers ratting your friend out for them doing stupid stuff. Most of the photographers at Tail of the Dragon will give you photos if you were hit by someone being reckless. The photographers are trying to make a living on the mountain side. It's in their best interest to try and protect the area and promote safe driving.

The Cannonball requires averaging 100+ MPH across the entire U.S. Ed describes that experience with enough subtlety and such a smooth voice so it sounds like a Sunday church drive. But don't kid yourself, the Cannonball is insane, and so are most adventures on this channel. It's all in how you tell the story. :-)

It is a car story. Those are what this channel was founded on. Not all the people on here are well received. Ed is free to release the content he wishes and until full communism sets in, that’s the way it will be.

@@johnh2349 You really have absolutely no clue what communism actually is, do you?

@@gotham61 Communism is when you can't release RU-vid videos about reckless driving. Did you never read any Engels?

@@drunkenhobo5039 Engels died in the 19th century, so that must have been a really early version of RU-vid. Try again when you're not living your screen name.

Money and “experience” will give you a false sense of security to let your guard down behind the wheel, ask James Dean or Paul Walker.

Best of luck!!! Car culture do so much good. I love that vinwiki highlights that good

Nice dude, best of luck!

Best luck!!!!

You got this!

Goodluck man, let us know how it goes

I mean unless it specifically stated that he couldn't do anything track related. The dealer should have covered it. It least that's how it is for most high end sports and exotic cars idk about nissan tho

Zack Dave McLaren and Ferrari will not pay for damage you caused by driving on the limit. Even ultra high performance exotics are not built to survive repeated and or consistent abuse

100% with you... this guy comes across as a douche who sometimes gets what he deserves... and then boasts about it?

Most of his are

You can pass safely on the double yellow if you are riding a fast motorcycle or driving a high horsepower car. If you plan the pass and are willing to accelerate a high speed quickly, you're done in a few seconds. Traffic engineers are very cautious these days, and they paint the lines assuming everyone's driving a 3-cylinder econobox.

Wait so if you are riding a fast bike or car you have a different set of rules? That is the kind of logic that gets people killed.

​@@matthewcochran3325 Yes. Not legally, but practically speaking. Where there are (I believe the term is) higher points of conflict, risk is increased. Speeding along a multi-lane highway - where one is expecting some degree of overtaking - is much safer than in a zone where passing is prohibited. The increased risk was going into the lane of oncoming traffic, where the impact forces are compounded vs speeding where the impact forces are - to some degree - complementary/offsetting. (Two cars hitting head-on vs two cars bumping at 70 mph and 60 mph going in the same direction. The impact forces are substantially different.) Also, on a two-lane road there is little maneuvering room to "just move over". In this instance, I suspect the road was a two-lane road (as double yellow prohibitions are not typically found on four-lane roadways). So, the narrow nature of the road along with the risk of oncoming traffic conflict made this a very stupid endeavor. Fun to listen to. But it was comprehensively stupid. For example, the Bugatti Chiron doing over 259 mph on the Autobahn...VERY stupid, but less risky than going down the opposite lane of traffic doing 50 mph. However, doing 259 mph is almost as bad as hitting traffic head on due to the overwhelming speed differential. As a practical matter, one has a potentially much more substantial risk profile than the other.

@@MJCLAXDEN that's what I was trying to say. Thank you, bud.

Oh you're so much better than us

@@t4th. If that is the way you want to take it, go right ahead.

We had respect because we had to save up for it, earn it first then buy it with hard earned money, not with daddys credit card, or massive unpayable debt

@@BrickNewton That is exactly right. I bought every car I have ever had.

Auto fraud? Nissan builds and advertises the car with launch control. You buy the car and use the feature, which fails catastrophically. It should absolutely be covered under warranty. You can do launch control at every light with a Porsche with nothing to worry about.

this is the only video i've seen of this guy but there's no fraud or attempted fraud in this video so i have no clue what you're on about

@@thetuber705 So lying in the bushes to evade the cops isn't a type of fraud? If you're going to act like a moron, at least be enough of a man to accept the consequences.

@@gotham61 no actually it isn't fraud that's evading. lol the amount of cop and government dick riding Ive seen in the comments are hilarious

@@gotham61 do you even understand what fraud means 😂

"I got really good at using my launch control." Tricky stuff those automatics.

i bet u wish u were 14 and able to build a life for yourself that gave u access to that lifestyle. u sound a little salty

@@smoeinc We adults start sentences with capital letters, and the word is "you."

@@smoeinc Able to build a lifestyle of mummy and daddies money you mean. Only salty when people misrepresent how they made their money.

Any car will break if you beat the piss out of it as the guy claims, a 500+hp 3900lb AWD GTR is no exception.

@@Kenny_f_powers Yeah, but they shouldn't break doing stuff they were supposedly built to do.

It's not that they are bad cars, it's the people that own them that do stupid things with them

People forget that those 1,500+hp GTRs have 60,000 dollar built *billet everything* transmissions in them and think that they can do what those guys do. Last I heard the price was 65k for a fully built GTR trans last year.

@@AeroGuy07 but they're not intended to do donuts and drifts. All that stuff is not covered by warranty on almost all vehicles. It's a performance oriented car, not a racing and stunt machine. You gotta pay to play. There's a reason even Lamborghini looks at launch counts for warranty work...

The biggest rule among enthusiasts at the tail of the dragon is to not cross the double yellow.

Lesson Four: grammar matters.

@@RChero1010 That rule gets broken a lot, I've nearly been hit around corners because of others not staying in their lane. Every time it's not even a performance car, just someone who thinks it is and understeers coming in too hot.

@@EMFAudio notice how I said enthusiasts? I know people cross over the line, there are a few corners where I do (with clear sightlines) but id wager the people you see in economy cars aren't enthusiasts that care about others. There will always be people that think they're hot shit and above the rules but in my experience most of the people come there without the intention of crashing

@@RChero1010 Enthusiasts are more likely to overestimate their car or abilities and get caught up in the moment and make mistakes. Few people travel that road for a casual cruise.

Yeah but I'm sure the statute of limitations is up.

@@77yogurt then whyd he back peddle at the end lol

@@kingjellybean9795 maybe for theatre? Idk for sure.

@@77yogurt I'm thinking he's just a dialtone

privately owned jails / prison are the problem. they work for profit and not for effect.

That’s not how it works. They take you to a local jail at night to sleep.

There is an excellent channel by Larry Lawton about being a prisoner and the prison system in the states. It’s worth a visit.

When someone does something that those with power don't like, and they pass a law to criminalize said behavior, I don't blame they guy who "misbehaved." He doesn't make laws, the lawmakers do. He doesn't enforce laws, the police do. So I blame the lawmakers and the police for "messing it up for everyone," not the guy who did the alleged bad thing.

@@christophermcelligott1593 Libertarians are worse than vegans. There, I said it.

This is the same douchebag that ruined several hire cars on purpose by tracking them in Germany illegally. He deserves everything he gets.

They probably don't want to be associated with this D head

I mean it’s broken in just not how you’d want it

Most of those photographers post the pics online with watermarks, cops would have just scrolled through, the guy's just bragging.

Except he paid for the car, paid for the repairs... He bought the car he can drive how he wants, even if it does break the car. Cars are made to break

Yeah, he did but he said he was reluctant to pay for the damage he caused. He did pay for it, but he tried to get it for free. Dealerships aren’t stupid. When you do axis spins you can see the wear on all 4 tires with a simple check of the tread depth. He can drive it how he wants as well but don’t expect a place of business to fix your shit for free because you broke the part. Cars do break, parts do fail, but cars that are abused break faster, but if you abused the car/part that broke you should have to pay for it. I’m glad whatever dealer stood up to him and said, “we’re not covering your damage. Here’s the bill.”

@Joshua Owen -- I feel the same about this channel. Initially I liked it when it first was published but now too many of the stories have degenerated into stories of senseless idiocy that could get people killed or are about highly illegal acts. Also too many of the storytellers are nothing but arrogant, entitled doofuses who are nothing more than 10 year olds in adult bodies. Sure, I've done some dumb things in my life but I don't brag about them and they don't endanger others. Hate announcing that I'm going but it is time for me to unsubscribe and quit wasting my time.

@@sheldonaubut Sad to see what the channel has become. I’ll probably do the same. Maybe one day this channel will pop back up in my feed with something actually interesting.

He didn't pay his taxes, fucking boo hoo. Taxation without representation is theft, and I don't feel represented by either side of our two party system. Do you enjoy simping for our government?

If a car breaks trying to put its stock power to the ground, it's a shit car

Abusing the car doing donuts isn’t putting the stock power down.

@@TheMitsuDude If you break a car trying to do donuts with less than 100 miles on the odometer, you are a shit driver.

Let's be perfectly honest, you gotta ask even if they are going to say "No". Dealerships try to not cover anything that should be covered by warranty, anyway. Even insurance is going to try to avoid covering anything. Golden rule, if you never ask, the answer is always going to be "No", but if you at least ask the answer might end up being "Yes". You should always ask even if only too make them a.) say "No" and b.) give you a reason since that gives you grounds for legal action later if it should have been covered.

Heard him say Helen... Helen GA is an amazing little town.

The transfer case doesn't really care if the output shaft isn't really turning anything at least from a mechanical standpoint. Now if it's a viscous center differential it will slip and overheat like crazy but the GTR doesn't use one of those as it's a clutch based system. I think the computer in the car sensed that something wasn't right and the controller kept the pressure off the plates trying to send power to the front. Not ideal but it would work. Luckily the computer is smart enough to know something was wrong and kept the clutches from getting burned up.

Using a car and abusing a car are two different things lol

Of course 'Murica' buy expensive car, get in debt, who cares, car gets repo'd, use parents to help buy another, isn't that the way?

only 100 miles on the dash....

Turns out most AWD cars really don’t like doing donuts. Most AWD cars are honestly pretty fragile and with less than 100 miles on it, that’s just asking for trouble. Yeah you can argue that “oh well it’s a performance car so it should be able to handle it”, but that’s a dumb argument since the wear and tear you get from taking a GTR to the track and beating on it that way is completely different than what he was doing. I’m not even a huge fan of R35s but I would not be surprised if a lot of AWD cars, especially ones with high hp like a GTR had problems doing donuts like he described. There’s a reason why drift cars have all kinds of reinforcement to be able not break on track, and a GTR is just not made for that.

You don't do donuts on a hard surface in an AWD. GTR is AWD 🤦‍♂

I was trying to remember this guy....I think you have it, what a DOUCHEBAG.

for someone who doesn't care about the car and expects everyone else to pay for it. Entitlement at its best. Lights who cares, just get the warranty to fix my screw ups

Yeah something doesn't add up there. Total circumstantial evidence, not sure how they got a judge to sign that warrant...

Giving cops information is snitching

@@finalpharoah1 It's information published daily on the internet readily available to the public.

@@finalpharoah1 He's full of it, those photographers post their pics with watermarks for people to browse and purchase.

They don't, all they have is hearsay from a third party of a story relayed to him by someone else, and the case is already over. Double jeopardy.

That's pronounced Bellend

Not on the dragon and no passing on double yellow. Passing on double yellow was in Florida on a country road that is straight as an arrow.
