VIDEO: Vintage Impala Fires up its Tires

We’ve seen our share of burnouts ending in fiery fails, but in this case, the flames are a sign of success. We don’t know if the owner of this vintage Chevrolet Impala used some kind of special tires, but he leaves behind him two very cool burning trails, just liked Doc Brown’s time traveling DeLorean did in the Back to the Future movie. Watch the clip after the break.

Fail: DUI Woman Uses Barricade as a Ramp to Fly Over Tolls [with Video]

Common sense dictates that you should never drive while intoxicated. But some people refuse to listen to logic or reason with disastrous results. Take 22-year-old Yasmine Villasana of Fort Worth for example.

The young driver was captured on film early yesterday morning at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport literally flying over a toll booth at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport.

The accident happened when the young driver clipped the toll booth protector barricade launching her Chevy Impala car into the air and through the booth!

The car went up in flames after it... landed on the run-strip err motorway but the amazingly, the driver managed to escape with only minor injuries. Luckily, no other person was hurt during the incident.

According to the police report, Villasana told officers that she "had been rear-ended as she was approaching the Toll Plaza which caused her vehicle to strike the Toll Booth Protector Barricade, launch into the air, land on the roadway and catch on fire."

The female driver told also officers that she wasn't drunk at all stating "she had one cranberry and vodka last night." However, the breathalyzer test proved otherwise and she was arrested for driving while intoxicated.

Jeepers Creepers’ 1960 Chevy Impala for Sale

Our eBay find of the day concerns this 1960 Chevrolet Impala that was used in the cult 2001 Jeepers Creepers horror movie starring Justin Long (Darry) and Gina Philips (Trish). The seller supports that although the Impala has been repaired since its debut in the movie, a lot of the flaws remain such as the trunk that was pried open and Darry) tied it shut with his pink underwear, and the noticeable tear on the left side of the lower front bumper centre. -Continued

Another interesting point of the Impala is the fact that the producers made the car appear to have a standard transmission by installing a floor shifter, when it is actually an automatic. Not bad for cruising but if you’re out at night with a gal and you wish to score, we’d avoid playing the Jeepers Creepers song if we were you…
