yep

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.

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..

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....

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?

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.
