that would be so fun to sit shotgun !

whaap 03-13-2013 09:27 AM

That was totally awesome.

HunterGreene 03-13-2013 09:49 AM

I'm surprised 1) the salesman didn't keel over from a heart attack 2) Didn't turn the seat brown.

And Gordon picked the exact right time to pull back the curtain. The salesman was ready to kick his skinny ass.

Scumbag Jeff Gordon, "I don't know. I've never handled this much power before." :lol: Awesome.

xDBOYx 03-13-2013 12:44 PM

Lmfao. Surprise he didn't shit himself

Trashed675 03-13-2013 01:06 PM

And i thought he could only drive in circles....

tech4pdx 03-13-2013 01:27 PM

Nice. Lol!!

leon78 03-13-2013 01:35 PM

Fake...but good. Salesman puckered even if knew.

whaap 03-13-2013 01:37 PM

It appears NASCAR drivers can do more than just turn left. :)

ZetaVI 03-13-2013 01:50 PM

That was hysterical.

At first I was like no-fucking way! That's awesome!

Now its a fake video? Shit... oh well it was still cool to imagine it was real in the beginning.

root 03-13-2013 03:04 PM

Cute commercial. Every test drive I've done they get your drivers liscence info. If this were real he violated quite a number of laws.

Honestly, I would've been surprised if it wasn't fake. But add to that the fact that Jeff Gordon apparently didn't even do the driving, that makes it too fake.

Silp3 03-14-2013 05:02 AM

Most action movies are fake, but still entertaining. Not sure about the rest of you, but I was hysterically laughing. Good acting a I suppose haha

Yeah, the salesman's acting was very good. Would also explain why he didn't have a heart attack.

Uncle drew is funny too. Same concept with basketball instead of cars.

Oh my god, Uncle Drew is THE best.

Dave gets a Gold Star for being cool!

Yeah, not least of which is the Law of Survival, which states that one should not approach to within punching range a very large, enraged man.

I thought the guy was going to punch Gordon, but then realized that this just had to be an act.

It was fun, but check out the similar one with Damon Hill (I think?) on youtube taking a salesman for a ride. That one looked real. :)

There's an Uncle Drew part 2 also.. :thumbup:

Rampage 03-14-2013 04:42 PM

I would pay a lot of cash to ride along like that. I have been watching Gordon race since he was 16 and driving Sprint cars on Thursday Night Thunder. He will go down in racing history as one of the best.

And for anyone that is wondering. That is how you drift a car!

Dadhawk 03-15-2013 10:07 AM

Don't care if the video is real or if Gordon was driving or not driving, what matters to me is this proves that Camaros can do something besides a straight line.

Somehow my NC Redneck soul feels vindicated....

wbradley 03-15-2013 01:44 PM

A cooworker showed it to me this morning. Very funny. Posted it only to see it's already here!

The saleman is a bit on the heavy side and its a good thing he didnt go into palpatations or hyperventilate from that. I would have for sure and I'm not that heavy.


BTW In order for them to post this for Pepsi, the salesman probably received a commission without selling the vehicle.

It was staged. Did you read above?

GregV 03-15-2013 07:23 PM

Dead giveaway that it was fake even before seeing the article: who installs a single aftermarket cup holder in the middle of the dashboard like that - especially if you're trying to sell it? How convenient for placing the "can cam".

Followed by the "close call" with the other car.

#87 03-15-2013 07:29 PM

It says bottom of screen its a closed course.

Mr.Jay 03-15-2013 07:30 PM

Dude soo fake

First aftermarket cup holder

Second there are no 09 Camaros
