always very sad to see a wrecked S2000, but it was only a matter of time before a guy like that would wrap it around a pole. especially with the tires he had on the S.

I have seen some guys rather quickly positioning the lift tabs before lifting and have always felt uncomfortable about a car coming loose.
Here is proof. Whoever did the lift did not ensure it was correct. At least he was not hurt.

Doubt it. It’s a legitimate shop with very good reviews that’s already been identified. Honcura of Glendale, CA. I highly doubt they’d let their reputation take such a massive hit for the sake of some goof’s YouTube career. Their name is getting plastered all over social media.

Also, from what I saw that s2000 seemed pretty damn clean and was either an 02 or 03.....not one I’d want to dump off of a lift for a publicity stunt; there’s plenty of other clapped-out s2ks to do that to. This seemed like a very nice (aside from the axleback) stock example, not one I’d wanna ruin.
