YouTube FOTD: Kid Steals Shelby GT500, Hits a Deer

Words just simply cannot express the shear magnitude of stupidity and outright failure that surrounds the events surrounding the video of today's YouTube Find of the Day (or should that be Fail of the Day?). If you've already watched it, it will be very obvious to you that the following is true:

• The driver of the car does not own the car.
  
• The driver of the car is certainly under the age of 21.
  
• The driver of the car is joyriding with his idiotic friends.
  
• The driver of the car ran someone off of the road and stupidly fled the scene.
  

The video was posted over at the SVTPerformance forum boards back in the last week of April and, over the last few weeks leading up to today, it snowballed into a massive 91 page thread (so if you plan on reading it, nuke up a bowl of Orville's buttered finest, grab a brew or brew up a cup, and get realllll comfortable). As the cyber sleuths over at SVTPerformance came to discover, the driver of the car was a poster there, an 18-year old named Grant Rose who used understandably used the Grant218 handle, which the mods appropriately changed later to "Grant Theft Auto" seeing how he stole the car. And he didn't steal it from his father, as you might would assume. No, he stole it from his neighbor's father and that's only the tip of the iceburg.

As posters would later discover, a few weeks prior to Grant's grand thievery of the said automobile he attempted to steal and sell the rims off of the car, going so far as to inviting people over to his neighbor's house to showcase them for sale. On the night the car was taken out for the joyride of its life, Grant put a hard 300 miles on the car and when we say hard we mean it. According to the son of the owner of the car, someone posting with the "otownpj" tag, the check engine light came on at one point (what made the car throw that code is unknown) and the nefarious joyrider used a OBD scan tool to shut it off before continuing to hammer on the mean old Snake. It was during these 300 miles, Mr. Rose hit the deer and the events you watched in the video would unfold.

Is that all? Nope. Nuhuh. After Mr. Rose hit the deer and ran some dude off of the road in his red hot Blue Oval, he then proceeded to return the car and hide the damage. Oh the humanity, oh the hilarity. It really is true, you just can't make this kind of $h! up.

Somebody would get a MAJOR ass whipping if that were my car...

In fact; I'd be parading my friends 'mr. baseball bat, 'mr. crowbar' and 'mr..45' over to HIS house to showcase the ass that we'd be whipping once he turned a sure and true 19 years old.

The associated thread will consume your entire day. Yet, you won't feel any regret! It's that great!

Hopefully the little turd boy will be charged and get some jail time.

Bend over. You've got a tree-sourced object up there choking out your sense of humor.

[RjION]

I'm going to guess you think your reply was as funny as the video.

Nope. Wasn't trying to be funny.

For future reference, if you don't like it, don't finish reading it and don't comment. Thanks.

... Just going to leave it at that.

Uh, oh... time to set up a C&G Smackdown Cafe.

Uh, oh... time to set up a C&G Smackdown Cafe.
