Just part of the Neanderthal idiocracy that churns deep from within the automotive enthusiast's community ...

Really? What did they think would happen?

I think it's a repost.

But still....wtf. Idiots...

But amusing to watch!

This is kinda why I don't like other people working on my car.

"Sir, you needs new rotors too."

Oh really why is my fender exploded?

"Wasn't it like that?"

...otherwise known as the REPOST, fool!

And seriously, it's not the rotor that explodes. It was the brake fluid burning after the caliper flew off.

$5 says this was a customer's car at WalMart getting the oil changed.

Oh, that is all sorts of awesome.
I love how the guy asks "Do we have a fire extinguisher here?" while the rotor is burning the undercoating.

Those seem like well-educated fellows.

Exploding Mazda

This.

Although I did find the brake rotor video fascinating.
It is insane how much abuse those bad boys help up to

[Dattebayo]

Yeah, but it's not the brake rotor. You can clearly see it's not in the video.

When I got this link the sema newsletter, I was seriously hoping to see a rotor with some metallic impurity shattering into pieces (that actually does happen, and has happened on race tracks). I was annoyed when I realized it was just a bunch of immature jackasses screwing with a car that was in all likelihood not theirs to screw with.
