Ford Mustang Cobra Jet wheelies with abandon

Yes, that is a Ford Mustang Cobra Jet with its nose pointed toward the stars and its rear valance on the ground. Marvel at that image while you can, because the car doesn't maintain that posture for long. Once the front tires re-enter the Earth's atmosphere, the situation goes muddy quickly. There's a bounce or two, some sideways action and a few brief concrete kisses before the party comes to a complete stop. Anyone who says drag racing is boring clearly hasn't watched someone ping-pong their purpose-built factory drag car down the quarter mile.

Word has it the driver of this particular pony-shaped pinball walked away from the incident without injury, though we imagine it was a minute or two before his car crawled up to the Christmas tree once again.

Wow, poor Mustang! Glad the driver was okay.

He turned the wheel when the front tires were in the air & didn't correct before they set down.

probably was just trying to hold on for dear life and ended up turning the wheel in the process.

I think it has more to do with him feeling like the car was going left, so he turned right as instinct...

I'm no drag racer but every type of driving I know of you've gotta get both hands on the wheel as soon as possible. Drive the car not the shifter.
