DATELINE — Ocean City, Maryland. The apparent owner of a rare Audi S3 went batshit at the H20 gathering here, thrashing his Mexican-entry import on a nearby dirt track, before veering off the track, hitting a vendor's trailer and sideswiping a Jetta. He was finally cold-busted by Maryland state troopers after he reportedly blew a tire and hit an embankment. VW Vortex says the guy had come up from Texas and had been trying to sell his S3, which is possibly the only one in the US. No word on the car's registration status, considering it's a non-US model. But we do know this guy's going to regret his antics when he tries to find replacement parts. That is, if the S3 doesn't end up impounded. NOTE: video not safe for work, unless your boss thinks the f-bomb is sexy. [VW Vortex

In general, when people of the same car feather flock together, you should always expect maximum hoonage/retardedness/juvenile antics/etc.
This MAY take my cake.
Drugs are bad.
Lol wtf? Did he just floor it and understeer on the grass into the trailer, or was he trying to hit it?
That was weird. He was hooning in slow motion. He must've taken some Mexican peyAudi.
Test driver?
Does he get a free T-shirt?
"peyAudi" ...classic.
There's a lot going on in Ocean City from June-August. The rest of the year, its pretty miserable, so say old friends of mine from the area.
Well that was pretty neat. What an idiot.
shirtless?
Also, when he "veered off track", WTF? That didn't look like a driver who lost it in a turn. That was a jackass slowly getting off the track and driving towards people. I wouldn't be surprised if that video led to some charge like "attempted vehicular assault" or whatever it would be called (not a lawyer).
Good luck on the sale, bro-ham.
Are you sure it was his car? Looked to me like he was just a shirtless jackass who took it for a joyride and then thought it would be fun to play demolition derby.
They should have tased him, bro.
That's gotta be the strangest thing I've seen in a while. I can't even tell what the driver thought he was doing.
Although, if my 4x4 time has taught me anything, people do some strange things when you take them off of public roads...it's like they think it's a total free for all or something.
"Wooooooo! Drivin on durt!!!!! wooooo!"
(understeers into a ditch)
That's no hoon; just an idiot.
Wow, that guy had to be drunk or high. I also thought he was going to fly off the track going too fast, and not slowly pull off and start driving towards people. I hate when I'm done driving and stupid parked trailers jump out in front of me. Well, on the plus side the RS4 made it out unscathed as the guy took off.
WTF.
idiot of the day if you ask me...
He was drunk. I was at that event, and saw the whole thing. His name is Cory.
He has no excuses. He deserves jail time.
On a side note, the car he hit was immaculate. And it isn't the only S3 in America. I know of 2 others, one in SoCal and 1 in Phoenix
Yeah, I'm trying to digest it. WTF? I'm thinking that the driver wasn't the owner...
the triumphant return of the HOTD
@thunder: Completely agreed. Another moron with more money than sense (sigh)...
@kungfo:
Rather, IOTD (Inebriate of the Day)...what the?
He did it for the lulz!
Kool-aid is dangerous, kids
Is Audi the new Camaro? Seriously that whole clip was populated by hillbillies.
his name isn't Cory, it's Cort. And it was his car. And I'm glad I left H2O before all that happened. My friends saw it all go down.
@Trotskyite: Yeah, I noticed that too. Also seems like a strange place for a gathering of (relatively) high-end German engineering.
Don't fuck with Audi owners, apparently.
Cocaine is a hell of a drug.
To the driver, fuck you, asshat. The S3 is one of my favorite Audi vehicles, and you don't deserve to own one.
Stay in school und don't do drugs, kids.
@Jim K: Does he deserve the jail time for the general idiocy/endangering people, or is it for thrashing such a wonderful car?
@Jim K: If Cory wants to sell that S3 at a deep discount have him call me. I'll show ya' how to hoon a hot hatch!
@jrowny: Right.
agreed, asshat, but I'd like to hear more about this "drive a mexican car in the US" approach to buying cars.
Are there maildrop services that front for your mexican registration or something? Do insurance companies care? Where's the downside, because if I can bring an RS6 Avant in this way, I'll go to visit Cort in prison and thank him.
I meant to say Cort ( the two letters are right there)
jail time for endangering others. I really couldn't care less about the car, even though it *WAS* nice
I'd like to see what this asshat's jail-booking picture looks like.
