I really hope Google use the images with the cops chasing. He also mapped part of the creek for them.

Not sure the plan was to burn the Ferrari.

The last year he got 3 to 10m views per video.
 
How did the van, parked 8ft away, also burn down without anyone noticing it was starting to burn?
 
"without anyone noticing"

I find it hard to believe it was accidental.

I wondered that initially but I think its own exhaust caused that fire. Clearly that straw was fine, judging by how it clogged the wheels of the Ferrari, and very flammable. I was thinking about this on Saturday when I was at a local show, an old Hudson on air had its fat tailpipes sitting on dry grass. Fortunately there was no fire.

Oh the guys an asshat, just so you know I'm not defending his stupidity. :p
 
As soon as it started, wonder if they just drove out back to the road, wouldn't that put the car fire out?
