This is serious question: How the hell did he even manage that?! Please, I'm not joking, someone explain to me how he DIDN'T get the tires spinning, and how the clutch died. I honestly can't understand the mechanics as to how that happened

My guess is that he stayed on the clutch instead of moving his left foot to the brake. Poor car.

"...F*&^!!" Hee hee hee priceless.
In answer to the why didn't the tires spin, He probably didn't switch off the Traction/stability system. Just a guess.

How can he be that stupid? I knew before I started driving that spinning tires feel nothing like just sitting there revving an engine!

I see a new flywheel also. Those rivets can make nasty grooves

My question would also be why didn't the other guys standing around tell him to stop?
They were wearing mechanics shirts didn't they notice that something was not right?
Smoke coming from engine rather than from tires should have been a big give away?
And yes the smell should have been another big give away.
I can also bet that it was not his car by the big "F" bomb that was heard at the end of the video.
You can almost hear the call to the owner now....

It would have been so obvious to me by the smell.
That proves he knows nothing about cars.
Too much money, not enough brains.
