Next time pahk the gowd damn cah down boy the hahbah...

Wasn't this an episode of The Family Guy?

@stuntpuppy: Well the moron looks just as fat & stupid

@Adidac425: i'm still laughing 3min later at this comment.

I always wanted to do that.

But did he honk the horn mid-jump?

I am sorry Ben, but I didn't see any kids near the car that were in danger. I would have loved it if someone did that while I was at practice in High School. The amuzement would have taken my mind off of the physical training.

Watched this without sound. Is it just me or does everyone the reporter interviewed kind of look the same? Is everyone related in Carver, MA? And if so, does Georgie Boy's teenage angst explain why he would endanger his family like that? And irrespective of any endangerment, don't you think he got some pretty good air for a Grand Marquis?

"It's like tha dukes o'hazahd!"

That needs to be added to every hoon video.

@Ash78: Just reporting what was in the story, nobody said this was the first go-round either. You gotta think, somebody grabbed a camera and started recording for a reason.

That looks like some pretty good air for a Grand Marquis.

I would know.

it sounded like a freight train comin' thru!

-no ma'am, that's just a Grand Marquis

When police asked the teen why he did it, Cowen allegedly told them that he was mad about having to switch schools because his new school's cafeteria wasn't as good as the old school's.

Would riding a dirtbike through the crowded hallways of a High School be even more moronic?

Anywho, sometimes the biggest morons are the best hoons.

Thank goodness the camera came back into focus just in time to show the car getting air, or else they (news media) wouldn't have been able to give this moron the glorious fame and attention he wanted.

That'll learn him fo' sho'.

Man he just wants to be a stunt man! Why are you guys trying to crush his dreams?!

Hooning on a field that's in use? He obviously wasn't thinking of the children. Won't somebody think of the children?!!!

Anyway, if the video is indicative of how close he came to hitting anyone during the entire ordeal, I would say that no one was in any real danger.

I would, however, still consider this guy an idiot. Hooning should be done legally, when possible.(wink, wink) Barring that, do it somewhere that there won't be so many pissed off witnesses who know who you are.

EEEEDIOT !!!!

@wannabewannabe:
I know what you mean -- I live a few miles from Carver, it's a rather rural community. From my own observations it seem like most people there that have children probably shouldn't.
God, I'm embarrased by that accent! Thankfully I was raised in a proper nuclear family in a decent town. No, I've never uttered the words, "wicked pissah"!
That all being said, that idiot certainly got some good air -- not a bad landing either.

Back when I was playing highschool football a student thought it would be a good idea to drive a moped through practice. My coach didn't agree and as the guy drove by he punched him knocking him clean off the moped. That guy didn't come back through practice again.

He flies through the air with the greatest of ease
The crazy young hoon in his flying Marquis...

This isnt news let tubby go. He was doing his best impression of Travis Pastrami. I think he nailed it.

Who waants ta go tuh Hah'vad and fu@$ up some smaat kids?

Hahvad's too faa.

Middle school 'den?

I feel the need to reference my hoon comment from yesterday. It's just sort of comforting to know that these people are out there, giving me something to watch at work.

When police asked the teen why he did it, Cowen allegedly told
them that he just wanted to know what weightlessness felt like.

is that a merc or a ford ? gotta love those boston accents too "he's drivin the caaaaaaa on the field and GO SAUX GAK GAK GAK"

and boy he's a chubette isn't he, amazing he could get that much air in that thing

@Adidac425:

Is a cah something ya'll park in da grudge?

Ahh, it was HAARIBULL.

Cameo from Jay Leno at 00:25

@Uberdude328i: No Harvard - exactly. This guy won't be discovering the next element or curing cancer, so hucking a Grand Marquis into the air in front of a bunch of people may be the crowning achievement of his entire life. Sorry George! It's all downhill from here buddy!

@TheGuinnessTooth: That is how you handle this sort of thing! Your coach knew what was up. Don't call the cops, just punch the punk.

Looks like he was just trying to recreate that scene from "Smokey & the Bandit" to me. +1 for good air in a grand marquis, -1000 for doing it on a high school practice field.

Just'a good ol' boys
Never meanin' no harm.

"Bo and Luke took off faster than bad news travels."

@DannyBN: Well played.

I think the only problem here is that hoon practice wasn't until 4:30. Either that, or he was trying to cheat at track and field (it's one way to win the long jump).

Dumb as a box 'uh rawks.

when you suddenly go off your meds all those emotions suppressed for so long come raging to the surface.

Damn massholes

always messin things up

@BRDHNTR: Turkey Time: The more extensive story in the Boston Globe noted he had aimed the car at several people in the parking lot and field, and narrowly missed a 7 month old in a stroller. This video was from a cell phone and was all that was captured of the incident.

Awsum. Take it easy on them, idiots grow up to be Jalopnik fans. That kid has a story for life that everyones going to be laughing about for the next 60 years

Thank god it wasn't worse. Reading the blurb, I half expected the brainless oaf to re-create the Stanford Marching Band sequence ...in a car.

I have no sound on the work 'puter. Did they nab the videographer as well? Seems strange that someone would just happen to bring their camera to practice.

@Adidac425:

I lived in Boston a few years back. My two favorite Boston accent stories:

1) I'm having drinks with friends in a pub a couple of blocks from the Big Dig project. Sitting next to me is a guy who clearly is working on the Dig and is throwing back a couple beers.
Me: So you work on the Big Dig?
Guy: Yup.
Me: Which part you working on?
Guy: The TUNNEL PAHT.

2) I'm in the Park Place T station, waiting for a Green Line train. I'm standing next to the info kiosk. Guy (obviously a tourist) approaches the window.
Tourist: Scuse me sir, can you tell me how to get to the Green Line?
Information kiosk guy looks at the befuddled tourist, looks up at prominent GREEN LINE sign next to tourist, looks over at huge green train pulling in on platform right behind him, turns back to him and levels a completely deadpan stare.
"Cahn't get theah from heah!"

@Adidac425: qotd! I CANNAAT STAND thaht GAWDDAAHHMMM ACCENT!

@Ash78: I agree. The soundbite of the day. can someone snag that?

@staircar: I live in Boston. The Big Dig was a lot more than just the tunnels. There were bridges, surface roads, and parks that were built, too.

@DannyBN: I thought those were just a front for the unions and costra nostra?

@Dr.Danger's got the power: ...and the big dig was actually people digging money out of the city.

@DannyBN:

True. I still have the head-slap bruise on my forehead from when I first heard them unveil the name of the new Lenny P. Zakim Memorial Bunker Hill Monument Obelisk Lookalike Bridge. But this guy's voice was dripping with sahcasm.

@staircar: Don't get me started on how the bridge ended up with that frickin name...

@Dr.Danger's got the power: There's a difference?

@DannyBN: Yes, the jackets.

"I said turn LEFT at the Dunkin Donuts."

"Which one?"

@ stuntpuppy
as Judge Smails said
"well son the world needs ditch diggers too"

So all your Marquis dissers can step off now. They can get air. On purpose.

"Thea wa kids everyweaa!!"
Um...I just saw the damn video and didn't see anyone else on the field, so calm down you stupid, bloated, houseslug.

The kid still made a big dumb mistake, but I think this is just a bit of overreaction.

"Unable to deploy a spike strip because of the soft ground, police were able to apprehend Cowan using a barrel of cookie dough and a harpoon."

@al_beaton:
OK, it's bad form to laugh so hard at work that your eyes water. But I just did. Thanks.

@LuciferV8: Yes,I often think that I get a better idea of an occurrence from a three second cellphone video than someone who was actually there.

Given that the video didn't show him getting onto the practice field or fleeing the police I can logically assume that there was probably more to the story.

Or I can just read all the comments and find, "The more extensive story in the Boston Globe noted he had aimed the car at several people in the parking lot and field, and narrowly missed a 7 month old in a stroller. This video was from a cell phone and was all that was captured of the incident."

Nobody said anything about CHOW-DAH!

Following the lead of his hero, Bill Belichick, he was just trying to intercept their practice signals for the big game against his school coming up next week.

At least this wasn't in a Prius, or else the people in danger wouldn't have been able to hear him coming.

The combined weight of Georgie boy plus the weight of the Grand Marquis means that the fact that it got air defies the laws of physics itself.

@danio3834: Sounds like you went to my high school.
