John Green, famous YouTuber and author of popular “young adult fiction” novels-turned-movies The Fault In Our Stars and Paper Towns recently went for a go in a dirtmod-ish racecar with absolutely no experience. He crashed and caught on fire.
Below is the video, in which John Green - who is also half of the super-popular Vlogbrothers on YouTube - rides a four-wheeler for the first time, drives a racecar for the first time, goes into a wall and catches on fire, and then get’s a trophy.
But it’s okay! He’s okay! The car was okay! And he went around the dirt track a few more times, first beating Maggie Stiefvater, also a best-selling author and driver of an awesome Mitsubishi Evo, and then being absolutely destroyed by her in the next race.
