Default Coolest Dad Ever Drives His Wrangler to Death



I'm going to keep this short because the sooner I finish this post, the sooner I can start looking into getting adopted by Casey Neistat.

In the following video, the commercial director and famous Youtuber takes his Wrangler out into the mud and muck behind a Target store. His (real) son is riding shotgun. To fully experience the rain-drenched environment, Neistat chooses to go sans-doors and sans-roof. The dirty water splashes and flies everywhere, but it doesn't wash away the smiles he and his fellow off-roader are wearing.

Read the rest on the JK-Forum homepage.

How does blowing/drowning his motor make him cool?

yea, cool dad to teach his son to drive like a retard. wow, you can drive fast through a puddle, and for some reason you like to take the doors and top off so you get crap all over yourself. real cool.

Pulling out of the trail, it def looks like some illegal trails. real smart looping the tow strap through the bull bar in the very end, no reason for that ever and its a bad thing to teach/do. He's the type of retard that people think of when they want to close trails. hopefully that jeep is done and he picks up another hobby that doesn't involve being a dbag.

I'll be the dick here. He simply has the means to trash his jeep. My perspective? Most people run through the rain, seeking shelter, all the while sporting the "I got poop flung on me look". Very few walk calmly through the rain, wearing a smile. The majority, will rarely understand the few.

And for the record, some of you guys sound like people I encounter that ask in a similar tone "why would you take a jeep worth over $50k off roading? who would do that?"

If I have to explain this further, as the phrase goes, you won't understand. Loosen up guys, it a jeep. His jeep, his money, his life. At least he is living it.

Cheers!

Nothing badass about this. Just another dude trashing his jeep, while probably trespassing and setting the stage for more land restrictions.

I agree with the comment's about the trespassing. But not with bashing him for showing kids a good time. I've done similar and kids covered as bad as the jeep and smiling ear to ear and that's worth it.
