We have to imagine that the morning routine of Vaughn Gittin Jr. goes something like this: wake up, pop some ibuprofen, eat breakfast and touch base with sponsors to pitch crazy video ideas. The real money is made in determining which car to hoon and where to hoon it for said videos. For his latest idea, Gittin Jr. looked to his dog, Brody, for a little advice.
Having Ford as one of his main sponsor generally means we get to see some form of Mustang having the rear tires driven off of it, but this time around, Ford’s newest hot hatch is the target of Gittin Jr.'s abusive affection. Rather than his typical tire-smoking hoonage, though, Gittin Jr. decides to perform some rally racing stunts in a Ford Fiesta ST.
With the exception of the swapped out wheels and tires, it doesn’t appear that any major modifications have been made to this particular car, and as such, the car action is incredible with the poor Fiesta ST getting airborne no fewer than three times. The J-turn and reverse donuts are pretty amazing, too, with this front-wheel-drive hatchback slinging dirt like a champ. To appease viewers who can’t get enough drifting action, there’s even a little slow-motion footage as he rubs a little Green Envy paint on a dirt embankment.
Just in case you’re worried about Brody, it’s obvious that a “stunt” dog was in place during the action scenes, but the funniest part is at the end of the video when Gittin Jr. opens the hatchback. Ford assures us that no animals were injured in the making of this video (still, we’re almost certain it is not PETA approved), but we’re pretty sure the same can’t be said for the Fiesta ST.
