He's just been given an amazing gift that most people will never ever experience and instead of being grateful and appreciative, he lets everyone know that it's not enough and he needs more. The first words he spoke afterwards should've been "thank you" not "I have to do that again"

      Zach B yeah I bought a 2013 2 door wrangler a few weeks back and it was a struggle to find vehicles (especially wranglers) that we’re not just covered in rust.
      Found one from a dealer in Detroit that shipped it closer to me that had owned it as a “show car” for the past 6 years so it came with no rust at all and it was completely stock.
      Now I know I can upgrade it and not have someone else’s crappy work to deal with.

    Thanks again for giving me the opportunity to have that experience! It’s crazy enough to have someone toss you the keys to an 8 second car. But to do that without me having run close to that time was sooooo cool. I doubt there’s many people who’ve had the experience of going 8’s without first going 11’s then 10’s. Then 9’s. Low 9’s. High 8’s. Mid 8’s. So that aspect of it made it that much more special and unique. It was so crazy to do that having no clue what it would be like.
    Also it dawned on me that I’ve never driven an automatic race car. I kept thinking I needed to use a clutch after the burnout and on startup and such which was really weird. Lol it felt like I shifted a little early. Not 3 seconds early 😂
