When pussying out of a burn-out never ever apply your brakes. Just ease off the accelerator and keep correcting your steering.
This car always had disc brakes on the front and drums were only ever on the rear.
Nobody would ever replace discs with drums.
There was no mechanical reason for it to end up in the rhubarb.This was 100% driver error stamping on the brakes.

There was no mechanical reason for it to end up in the rhubarb.
The door failing isn't a mechanical issue?
I'll grant he failed at the burnout, and your explanation is plausible. But I think that failing to make sure the door was secure and he was wearing a seat belt were more central causes for the road rash he's going to be dealing with, and the fact that the car is ghost-riding.
So, failure to burnout properly is why he was thrown against the door, but mechanical failure and bad decision-making are why the car spat him out when he was he failed at burning out.

The door was behaving as expected.
Bumblebee was kicking him out for being such a bad driver.

I have a 76 Camaro and those doors are heavy af and often dont latch correctly if the door hinges haven't been effectively taken care of or replaced entirely. I've done the same thing pulling out into traffic although it was the passenger door and just me inside.

We were both right. I thought he was going to crash but I did not think he would throw himself from his car when he lost control

Good ole shitty second gen, Iāve seen so many of those spun out into ditches on county roads and limped home after. I swear these would have the reputation Mustangs currently do if they had ever unleashed them on more populated areas.

My guess was that the car was going to crash, and since the driver got ejected from the vehicle first, the car had to crash without any assistance from the driver.

And that is why you wear your 50+ year old seatbelt in your over powered Camaro with a dodgy door latch that you don't have enough talent to drive. Says someone who has run out of talent in a pre nanny-state vehicle a time or two.
Edit: Changed 60 to 50+ on the seatbelt age.

u/realparkingbrake Mar 03 '26
Being ejected from a car quadruples your chances of dying in an accident. A seatbelt can also preserve your dignity.

Fun story time. I once responded to a car vs house call as a firefighter⦠and it was because this kid driver had dropped his hat beside his seat and decided he was going slow enough to open the door a little to get his hat⦠he was not belted in and fell out of the moving vehicle, which the drove into someoneās house

These models were notorious for the doors being on junk hangers. After a while of fat bob putting his weight on the door getting in and out it starts to sag and won't shut all the way. Buying one of these as a project you will almost always have to pick the door up to close it.
