This kid ...

should have the truck taken away from him and not get another until he can pay for it himself.

Seriously though. Come on. It's just logical. And the WoW video? Ridiculous. You can see at least three times after an "outburst" that he's scared the dog, and he turns his head to whisper something reassuring. I don't know why this family is all about staging videos of their kid being a jackass, but it's so rehearsed.

That thing does look pretty sad... but all you'd have to do is paint it. Huge overreaction from that kid. Running is the important part, the rest is easy.

As for the comments about being lucky his parents could afford it... I see 3 vehicles in their driveway and garage. His family can't be as piss poor as some may imagine. I kind of laughed when the dude was like "I payed several hundred dollars for that!" I can believe it. :rofl:

I don't think the kid got spoiled from being poor, though, do you?

I also doubt this an answer anyone wanted to hear... :lol2:

(And I wouldn't doubt this was staged, either.)

My father's first car burst into flames because he left it on when it was in park and he didn't go and buy another, he stripped an old engine out of a junkyard and the next week it broke down again. He went and got a old Thunderbird for $600 and he was happy with it, just because he had a car not of what it looked like. If my dad can do this for his first car at 17, and this brat at 16 is mad because it looks like a poor person car? He deserves to live in the family basement until he is at least 50.

Fake video .. I think they bought that just for this video. They got 125 - 150k worth of automobiles in the drive (not saying they are paid for, mind you). He didn't even bust out a window .. what is beating on the body going to do to it? Sorry.. I just think it's faked. I'm sure he is a spoiled brat though. At least one of his parents are a douche for driving that Hummer.. and I bet that dually (is that a dually? -- well diesel) gets no action ... look how squeaky new.

Heck actually .. that probably isn't even their house. They filmed it in front of those expensive automobiles for impact.

Umm, from the small glimpse of the house, and the two big trucks in their driveway, something tells me they are not hurting for cash.

However, I will say the kid was acting like a spoiled brat. Who knows, maybe the father wanted to work on the truck along with the son.

However, am I the only one who got the feeling that this was a gag gift?

The parents should have done this,

*Smack* "Fine, I guess it's mine then." - Dad

HA. I would've waited until night time, drive it to a parking lot to store, and then come back with a female bicycle. "Well son, since you didn't want the truck, you'll be going to school in this,"

To those calling it a fake, on one hand, I'd like to agree with you. However, I have run into spoiled people before...and well...they do this...often.....

To be fair, that car was a piece of shit. Who gets their kid a redneck truck when he obviously won't appreciate it? I think what we have here is an improv family with a YouTube account.

And I don't have my drivers liscense, I got a camera for my 16th. -_-

Edit: is there a way to turn off this stupid post review shit?

I would probably wake him up in the middle of the night making him take every single dent out of the car make him give it a new paint job and then, start hitting him screaming " It doesn't feel good does it!?"

Then after he is all done i would basically destroy the car, just to start the process over. :)

But that's all theoretical of course.

So far no.

Eh I dunno, I mean my first car was a 1984 Monte Carlo, and it broke down constantly. It was later traded in for a Mustang LX.
