Wealthy Russian blogger sets fire to his AMG GT63s

[irfan1712]

Not a lot of context behind this so far, but in a nutshell a young, wealthy Russian blogger / youtuber appears to have never ending issues with his car, so he drives it into a field, pours petrol on it, and turns it into a rather expensive bonfire with some nice camera angles to suit. And then drives home in a bright green Lada.

Surely has to be a less expensive way of protesting your anger towards a manufacturer if you've got issues with them...crikey.

Hmm, I think that might have voided the warranty.

[StuntmanMike]

I would imagine that would be enormously satisfying, can’t only be me that’s wanted to do this but couldn’t afford to.

Some fella publicly smashed up his Lamborghini with a golf club years ago for similar reasons IIRC.

I'm sure one can of petrol would have been sufficient.

Must have more money than sense.

Think I would have drove it really hard around that field until it gave up first. And then set fire to it.

Thats not a Lada. Tsk.
Its a Moskvich.

Living up to your username!

Seems a bit silly / a waste. I'm sure there are less drastic ways to get the attention of dealers / manufactuerers.

[pedant mode] That looks more like a ZAZ Zaporozhets 968M than a Lada [pedant mode off]

Those sausages look terrible. Cooked on too high a heat, he needs to learn to BBQ properly.

[old'uns]

Walking like he's shat himself and epic fails at firestarting 😀

[dantournay]

Chewing burnt sausages with his mouth open. The dude needs to have a word with himself over his bbq skills and table manners.

Around 51p per lt

[antspants]

Highlight was him nearly setting fire to his feet, bellend!

[J4CKO]

Is that a calculated gamble to get millions of views that will generate more income than the cars worth ?

Wont matter, reckon that sausage will do for him, I prefer mine cooked to fire damaged.

[Don Roque]

He looks like a goblin.

[Hazmat1]

The 10m in views and you tube clout were probably worth it..
