somethings not right. Those skid marks arent there in the original video of the car falling off the cliff. Look closely, those skid marks are definitly different.

Look again, pause it at the right moment & you can see the skid marks were there.

Not the greatest of drivers.

At least hes okay.

I wonder what the other side of the car looks like. The drivers side looks untouched.

The video editing was alright but the magically appearing skidmarks sucked. Really think about it. A Viper that "locks up his wheels" in a turn goes airborne down a 200ft cliff and looks fine?????? Complete BS if anyone thinks that video is real.

The skidmarks we can see very briefly initially & those shown afterwards were shot from very different angles. There's no way we can even determine for certain whether they match up or not . The car does look remarkably intact for such an accident from the angle we were shown though . . .

Why didn't the car explode? They always explode in movies.
