We know Sam Hubinette has incredible drifting skills. The Crazy Swede is a two-time champion in Formula Drift and makes a living doing stunt driving, but that still doesn't mean we would put our life in his hands. Streetfire.net's Creative Director Alexis Godschalk, however, seems to have more of either faith or bravery than we do. While filming a video intro StreetFire, Hubinette sends his Viper hurtling towards Godschalk and doesn't even flinch.

We wrote about the Car-Parazzi kids a while back when they were discovered by Jay Leno and became web celebs overnight. This team of young teens is possessed with some insane energy and skill. Still young and unjaded, they have tons of opportunities to feed their passion in the areas around SoCal. This new footage from the teen titans is of the annual Southern California CHP 11-99 Charity Drive, a venerable cornucopia of exotica.
The California Highway Patrol's (CHP) 11-99 Foundation is an assistance program for the families of officers who have been injured or fallen in the line of duty. The foundation sells merchandise and holds various fundraisers throughout the year, but the highlight is this drive. Virtually every supercar and exotic in and around Los Angeles shows up for the short drive to the charity dinner/auction destination. The young men at Car-Parazzi were there last fall to capture some of the excitement. Keep your eyes peeled and you'll see a Maserati MC12, Ferrari Enzos, Porsche Carrera GTs, a Bugatti Veyron, Mercedes SLR McLaren and a host of other Ferraris, Porsches, Lamborghinis, Ford GTs, and the like.

When a 50-ton semi needs to be towed out of a snow bank, it's a good idea to call on a very big tow truck. If you're in the South during a snow storm, however, your best bet just may be the super 'necks. After the jump is video of a Jeep, Silverado and Ford Bronco working in tandem to pull a stranded 18-wheeler out of the snowy muck. We think the heroes of the video are a gaggle of youngins, but with all the camouflage, we couldn't tell you for sure. The video is fun to watch, but when the camera operator says, "This s#%t is going on YouTube," that's just icing on the cake. Kidding aside, it's nice to see a group of kids actually helping someone in need. Nice job guys. Hit the jump for one of the funnier videos we've seen lately, it'll be worth your two minutes.
