Anyone admit to this?

I couldn't make out the plates but I would think this was in a place where snow is rare.

haha good laugh, i wonder if he knows the car is RWD. Cardboard would have been much more effective in front of the rears..with some throttle control of course.

Hmmm... so my S2000 is in a driveway sloped to the road with a little snow behind it... Hmmm... yeah let me take it over the lawn, that garbage can looks heavy.

We'll he was parked in the grass to begin with. So I can sort of see where he got the idea to move forward instead or start shoveling the snow behind it.

This is funny on several levels. Of course, he didn't seem to understand that it is RWD; but then again, he probably believed that putting the cardboard under the front wheels actually helped! He also didn't seem to understand that he has a Torsen rear axle which is not a clutch-type LSD. He could have applied a little brake to reduce the wheel spin. How much do you want to bet that the right rear wheel wasn't spinning?

And then there's the missed opportunity of seeing him drop it into a ditch once he spins out on the highway.

He forgot to close his garage too. I think the guy filming should have gone out to help him instead.
