Watch a U.S. Soldier Make America Proud Driving His Camaro SS 1LE Around the Nurburgr
Saw this the other day on YouTube, but I didn’t expect it to make the news.

I wonder if the military paid to have his car delivered to Germany while he was stationed there…

Uggh, what a dumb article. He's in Germany, not some stationed in some 3rd world desert locked down in a hostile area. The fact that he's able to buy an SS 1LE and regularly track it on one of the most famous tracks in the world shows what a bootlicking fluff piece this is. Anything for the ad revenue clicks though, right?

So very easily pandered to... They wrote an article about someone else's youtube video for their own financial gain, and you're helping them. The video headline and description doesn't even mention the military, the article shoehorned that in for clicks. This article wouldn't exist if it was a random guy from the states working in Germany and you know it. It's the dumb clickbait approach to get views and better page rankings, just like how recipes have turned into walls of text about someone's life for better SEO when all I want to know is how to prepare some food.

365km/hr for a lap time half that of the soldier's. State of the art awesome in response to state of the art fun in a car with > 50k miles. https://youtu.be/EM6nyGWcXks?t=172 Both are great to watch

I remember watching the Evo lap a few weeks ago. I can only dream to have that much fun in a car one day. I’m sure fun isn’t really the best word but you all know what I mean

Yes, when you're in the military and you get stationed overseas you can bring your vehicle. Also he's a member on the forums and he's coming back to the states. Seems like a great genuine guy and a great driver.

If something that like sets you off like this...... It's amazing how some of us checked out the video and went about our lives without blowing a gasket over some dumb shit. |
