Watch The Proud New Owner Of A BMW Z4 Crash It Straight Into A Wall
Today we’re going to learn about the three different stages of “oh, shit” from the new owner of a BMW Z4 and his passenger-friend recording him drive it straight into a wall. The first stage of “oh, shit” is slightly alarmed but mostly excited, when the Z4 first starts to go sideways on the wet road.
