We shudder to see any car get damaged in any type of competition, but this one really brings a tear to our eyes. A third Generation Camaro gets on the burnout pad and pulls off a great one wheel peel only to have the turning tire explode. Open

What self respecting redneck would allow a bottle of Zima near your car? That is the real tragedy here. (Photo from the video)

differentials and peg leg burnouts are nothing new, and we’ve seen our fair share of tires getting shredded in burn out competitions. This one however, leaves you with goosebumps.

When the tire comes apart, the tread actually hits the third gen’s most distinguishing feature, the back hatch glass, shattering it. With smoke, glass and pieces of tire tread flying around, you can see the reaction in the crowd.

As the video camera cruises around to the side of the Camaro where the tire has exploded, we see the full extent of the damage. The rear quarter panel looks pretty dinged up and the wheel well is separated from the quarter panel.

Even more disturbing than the damage to the car, or the crowd gathering around to take cell phone photos of the damage, was the appearance of a Zima bottle. That’s correct, you heard us right. Zima! At 2:27 of the video, you can clearly see a man walking up to survey the damage with a bottle of Zima in his hand.

Zima had already earned it’s reputation as a “girly-man” drink by the time this video was shot.

The real tragedy here is that no one stopped the Zima drinker and took his man card.
