So you guys believe the first one was real?
Nope. Nothing is real. They're all out to pull one over on you. But you're not falling for it!! Keep on fighting the good fight, Buddy.

He drove past some bricks! Who would ever sign off on such a dangerous stunt?

I could care less if it IS fake. It entertained me, and I laughed. I need as much laughter as possible in my life when I'm stressed out all day, every day.
So all you "smart" killjoys claiming that it is fake - good for you. I'll believe it is real and be no less the wear for it.

Of course it was real.
Are you telling me the Vick commercial was a fake as well?

No. It was proven that it was fake.... by the guy they pranked the second time around. Again, try reading the article.

The whole "it's too dangerous to do" is just ridiculous.

I don't think they would have made such a big deal about the first one being fake and this one being real if this were fake also. Too big of a blow-back.
The stunts were far less risky in this one and at far lower speeds, which also plays to the idea that the passenger wasn't in on it this time so they had to take less risks.

Seriously...you can buy insurance for ANYTHING. Literally. That's basically the job of an actuary...assign financial risk to uncertainty. Just because you can't get it from Nationwide or Geico doesn't mean it doesn't exist.I somehow missed this little gem.pantherclub said:
If you watch the video, he's going by some buildings and such, but I don't think it's the kind of thing where if a tire blew, he'd be catapulted directly into something. The turns were mostly in the clear, near pallets and other random industrial stuff, not buildings. The only scene where it looks like he gets going really fast is where he's going straight by a building. I'd honestly bet that he never gets above 60 MPH in that whole scene...it's just the confines of where he's at that makes it look so fast. Ever watch Autocross? It looks like they're flying, but they really never get above 60 MPH or so...it's just the tight turns and confines that make it look and feel faster.

I just can't imagine a scenario where Pepsi is talking to an insurance agent and this is said:
"We plan on taking a journalist on a ride doing donuts and driving about 35 to 45 mph on a closed course."
"Sorry. That's way too dangerous for us to handle."
Someone should tell pantherclub that there will never be another action film because the studios simply can't get insurance. I bet he'd buy it.
