I don't like either one of them fools because I'm jealous of what they have.
I'm not jealous, I just don't like him for the clickbait. Now back to the issue at hand, hmmmm..... what happens when you impact a curb with some serious force with any wheel, let along a CF wheel?

Answer, it absorbs the energy and breaks.

Nothing to see here, move along.

He sold his track pack gt-500 weeks ago. He’s buying a supercar next.

Agreed, case closed. If the CF blew apart, I would hate to see what would have happen to an aluminum wheel.

Plausible. Then why didn't anyone walk over to the center median to see the debris there?

The assumption would be that if he did indeed hit the center median that he hit it head on (?).....well look how far back it would have had to have been...

Possible scenario.

Another scenario.

The car was in the outside lane and the driver decided to punch the throttle and swerved into the median.

I was actually saying that I was jealous, not you. I've worked hard all my life since I was a kid and now it seems you can just post a few videos on YouTube and make money hand over fist. Make it seems like all my hard work was a waste. Sad.

after he was selling N-95 masks on his website a few months ago totally price gouging people.
I wasn't aware of this but that's pretty low.

Greg: The boy isn't getting rich by any means and this isn't a career. Plus, putting those videos together is not as simple as you might think. He has help during filming for sure and may also have someone who handles the actual video editing.

But, don't let stuff like this cause you to think your own history was a waste, it wasn't, of that I am certain.

given the endless stream of hot women in bikinis you hang with, I'm questioning my life choices right now.

Literally don't care about anything this weirdo kid talks about. He's like an old shelby boomer trapped in a young kids body.
