3 Jeeps Destroyed in 3 seconds

I bet the parents were upset when they found out what happened.
The value of a seat belt goes farther than the pavement.

Play stupid games…

I’ve had several Jeeps including an old battleship Wagoneer. I loved them but don’t miss them. They are (or were) purpose built.

I think I got a better ride from a hard tail Harley.

That's interesting. I've never has much experience with Jeeps other then the 1946 I owned for a number of years. It was a daily driver in the summer and I was always impressed by how smooth the ride was. I mean, it wasn't as smooth as a modern car but I would drive it all day and never felt uncomfortable. It even had the original (or at least original Willy's) leaf springs.

Soooooo, does "Standard" auto insurance cover "Off roading" ?

I've got insurance for my SXSs whose main purpose is off roading.

While undoubtedly true , many/ most " conventional Auto Insurance;" excludes off pavement damage . Read your fine print .

He could buy it but couldn't drive it.
Maybe a mechanical failure but sure looks like he just mashed the throttle and never let off.

I'm thinking the driver didn't know how to drive off road and thought the 4-wd would magically get him through anything. I once had to follow a guy who thought that way, with no actual knowledge or experience driving off road. He would mash the gas pedal on his Honda and thought the AWD and traction control would magically get him up a muddy hill. I had to stop and then back up so he wouldn't slide back into my car. In the second half of the video, I wonder why the guy didn't hit the brakes because it seemed like he didn't even try to stop.

Because to prevent evil tailpipe emissions the computer controlled throttle body MOTOR holds the throttle open when you release the foot pedal until the motor has sufficiently cleared the fuel from the engine. Even the brakes probably wouldn't have worked; might have been able to pull the shifter into N, but that would require taking a hand off the wheel and understanding all the functions involved with modern low pollution road vehicles.

Those M151 variants were very buzzy at speed. I think it was mostly due to the tires.

One of those guys ducked the red Jeep and he was offended and turned on them?

I'm told that, in the rain on a normal road, that tread pattern is like being on ice.

Absolutely TRUE.

The title was certainly not clickbait.
