We've said it before and we'll say it again - the world of pranks has gone too far. However, while we had gotten used to douchebags crossing the line for YouTube attention, the example brought by the footage below takes things to a whole new level, as we're talking sponsored content here.
It all starts out with one hell of a Baja Bug, a machine that, according to the team behind this video, delivers 800 hp. Given the blown LS1 hanging out the back of the car, this could be possible. And yes, we have to admit this is the only part of the video we salute.
Nevertheless, when such a machine's assets fall into the wrong stupid hands, San Diego's urban landscape replaces the open desert. Massive air time episodes, slides, speeding, these are just some things that characterize the driver's street behavior.
Without too much regard for other people's safety, or for the integrity of the streets, this guy flies around the city as if the gaming world hadn't gifted us with the Grand Theft Auto series for the moments when people feel the need to cause traffic mayhem.

Others have pulled similar stunts before, with Ken Block's San Francisco adventure standing as testament for that, but what we see here doesn't look like a collection of closed roads.
The jumping scenes are the ones that seem the most threatening, since the utter lack of control you deal with while flying low means the neighborhoods used as playgrounds were anything but safe during the process.
In his quest to bring you the most impressive automotive creations, Andrei relies on learning as a superpower. There's quite a bit of room in the garage that is this aficionado's heart, so factory-condition classics and widebody contraptions with turbos poking through the hood can peacefully coexist.
