Its the stability control not the traction control that keeps him on the road. TC just keeps him from spinning his tires which he probably wouldnt with AWD anyway. My car is faster than that (unless the R8 is tuned) and rarely breaks loose! But yeah he's a terrible driver

What’s the bet he got precisely zero jail time despite committing hundreds of traffic offences and jeopardising lives not to mention theft and wilful destruction of property.
You didn't get from the excessive passive aggressive notes on this footage that the owner is as narassitic and dimwitted as the thief? What a stupid thing to do in return to someone who helped you...
Got Meth? Far out, this is insane for so many reasons. First one for me though was the fact that he got away from the Police, so driving like that where he did was totally unnecessary.
European cars have the indicator stalk on the left side of the steering column. Japanese cars have the indicator stalk on the right side of the steering column.
Perhaps it's because junkies don't work and can't afford to buy a car, if they have any money it goes straight to the dealer for the chemicals they crave...next stop grave.
