Video: Results Of 4th Gen F-Body Jump – Airbag 1, Punkass Kid 0

What happens when you mix mud, dirt, open space and two guys with nothing better to do? A whole lot of “redneck” inspired hijinks and craziness with a 4th generation Camaro and a crappy Thunderbird. Both cars were harmed during filming, although the Thunderbird already looked like it had been rotting in a field for quite some time. Both stunt drivers took turns piloting their wrecks around the off-road course through water, mud and dirt. After taking the time to live out a dirt-track-meets-TRASHCAR fantasy with a little rubbing and racing through the corners, the guys decide to step up the destruction.

Tastefully named the “Red Rocket,” the 4th generation Camaro was subjected to a variety of endurance tests, but the jump would end up being the most challenging feat of the day for both car and driver. Gaining speed as he approaches the jump, the driver manages to put the car in a perfect position to catch a little air without seriously injuring himself or the car. This is not epic jump by any means; a little air caught, but the landing is what makes this particular feat of stupidity truly awesome. Upon slamming back to the ground both airbags deploy, filling the car with smoke and scaring the crap of the driver. Once the dust settles, the driver is laying on the ground as his buddy laughs at the airbag incident that just took place. In the end, two airbags went off, the horn was stuck on and no one was seriously hurt, thus making for a great video.
