He's a great guy. He does a news show 3 times a week on his sxephil channel. Funny as heck. I like to think of it as extreme motor cleaning.

That water shooting out of the wheel wells... poor RX8.

sh0gunshin 04-30-2011 08:15 PM

SayNoToPistons 04-30-2011 08:35 PM

Youtube views will help him buy another one.

Grungepup 04-30-2011 08:50 PM

8upbad 04-30-2011 08:56 PM

Ummm, maybe I'm missing something but how is this guy funny? I'm glad you're ok and I wish the 8 was too but that video wasted a few seconds of my life...

laythor 04-30-2011 08:56 PM

Figs 04-30-2011 11:39 PM

4:20 wow the size of the geyser compared to the car is just crazy. You'd think the water would have been shut lol

luv4eternity 04-30-2011 11:59 PM

maybe try to "DE-FLOOD" the car...it might still work ! LOL

Juansito 05-01-2011 03:17 AM

Phil defranco is funny I like his yt channel.....
His car is totaled though....the power of the water killed everything in his engine bay.

LifeAfterRx8 05-01-2011 04:02 AM

I've been watching his videos for all these years and I never knew he drove a Ti-Gray Rx8. lol

monchie 05-02-2011 03:47 AM

Poor 8. Never heard of Phil Defranco since now.

Phil may be a nice guy... but let’s call a spade a spade huh :scratchhe? He certainly babbles like a girl in his 'fun' video. More obviously he doesn't take care of his car or apparently even care.... and just how does a reasonable and prudent driver end up going so fast ... so way way too fast … in a construction area... on a "curvy" road... in a residential area … that they end up spinning around backwards, hit a wall, continue on and blow into a hydrant and a mail box???

... ok so in a residential area he crashes ... and then he proceed in wonderment as to what all the fuss is about??? ... and post up a lame ass utube rant about why some sane person living there got pissed at him because he "didn't really do any damage"?

Let's see. Damages are... car of course, but that’s this idiots problem thankfully… oh wait in truth it goes on the backs of others insured by his insurance company… cost to taxpayers for repair and replacement of hydrant and the emergency personnel that responded .. that’s easily several grand to the townsfolk there, some citizen's mailbox replacement cost and inconvenience, whatever, but would you want to be replacing yours? … and in general who wants some idiot kid making mayhem in their neighborhood with their out-of-control sport car?

There could have been kids, other cars, pedestrians taken out by his shenanigans. He is one lucky sob I would say, considering. What a load. Pathetic, and where are the police to kick his ass into court for reckless driving???

He treats the whole thing like “Ah, oh well….duh…check this out…” And stop with the babbling Phil…. Oh and by the way Phil... don’t get another RX-8 - you put the communityl to shame :icon_no2: And worse no more RX-8s in your videos please, it almost sounded there like you did it on purpose....just for fun... and for utube ...your first accident I mean.

sh0gunshin 05-02-2011 01:55 PM

the treads on his rear wheels were worn and needed for a change, which is why he spun out if you listened

+1 ......this doucher talks smack about idiot people for a living on youtube and gets paid well for it, take a look in the mirror a**hole, STFU and please go away. Why do people listen to such non-sense?
