Profit From Cars

If you see someone doing stupid things with cars there's a good chance the hope to profit from it.
I'm not talking about impaired drivers or hold my beer, but calculated stunts to amuse.

Now it's usually looking for money for nothing from clicks for free.

He's not going out of the parking lot with that one because he can't turn the wheels far enough to turn a corner without the tire rubbing the paint. Just for shock (click) value.

Not to mention those extensions would never hold up.
It would make for a pretty spectacular failure at speed, though, which byItSelf would make for good clickBait..

I couldn't find the What Is This thread, but I think this one will do.

Saw this driving in Norwalk, OH a few days ago.

That is sort of like what dealers did to new cars at the beginning of the model year.
Back when the cars changed every year and when they looked different form each other.

Yes, it's camo but not a dealer, this is a manufacturer doing real world testing on a new model, or more likely new sheet metal on an existing model.
