Default Pepsi MAX & Jeff Gordon Present: "Test Drive" Awesome/Hillarious Video!

What happens when you get NASCAR legend Jeff Gordon behind the wheel of a Camaro on a "hidden camera" test drive to scare the hell out of an unsuspecting salesman!!!! Just watch, I love this video... already over two million views and climbing on YouTube!

While somewhat entertaining, I'm not a fan of "fake" reality. And if they're going to do fake, at least do it well. Such as there's no such thing as a 2009 Camaro. The car is a 2013 Camaro, etc. Obvious camera-necessitated cup holder in the middle of the dash vents.

^^^ Agreed!!

I know a lot of females who have "fake" things, but that doesn't mean mean I won't love them!!! Heck, most times I love them even more!! Besides, what is reality!! Hmmm... This goes back to the Matrix. Eventhough the passenger may have been an actor, he definitely isn't a racecar driver or a stuntman so I'm sure he was scared s***less being in that car! Lol, I get scared in any vehicle when I'm the passenger! !!
