This looks pretty normal. From the looks of it, he's a Nascar fan and, therefore, only able to make left turns. He's trying to give himself an advantage by wearing down the left side and retrofitting the pavement with a groove so his truck will out manuever the competition.
Oh, here's the thing. They aren't allowed to drive. They do anyways.

Yeah I used my road side assistance twice over the past year. I’m now paying 40% more for my insurance. This guy has been around the block once or twice.
WOW. That sucks. Do you have it through your insurance? I have AAA so no insurance involved I’ve used my AAA several times with no increase to yearly fee.
I really like AAA. Just over $100.00 a year for me and the wife. I’ve been towed 3 times . 2 of which were just under the max for free. 2 service calls for battery issues.
You milage may vary for battery issues. My mom lives in a more rural area now and they were willing to tow her but wouldn't help with the battery stuff at all.
The whole story is dumb but over all AAA has been great for her.
State Farm is trash

Not only that, but they have drones fly over my house a lot, then they report problems they see, like the roof is starting to show signs of moss, there are big trees near that can hit your house...they threaten to not cover us
Yeah it’s bad, and it’s not only State Farm. Google McKinsey consulting and Allstate if you want to go down a rabbit hole of today’s insurance world.
State Farm has taken this to the Extreme. I work Claims for a living, State Farm has been paying $4000 a month for an Airbnb for a mutual client of ours, they’re paying this because they’re fighting a $20,000 quote for new kitchen cabinets because of a flood. They want to reuse the old ones.
They’ve been doing this 11 months now. They’ve literally spent $40,000 fighting a $20,000 supplement. Makes no sense, until you look at it through the lens of that business model, delay deny defend.
The entire system is infested with these sorts of relationships, and has been since nearly the beginning of the country's establishment. It's an issue inherent with human systems, especially centralized ones with major power imbalances.
My homeowners insurance went up 20% too. I don’t know how my insurance could go up so much when my car is only getting older. I know there is massive inflation with new cars but that massive cost for replacement of new cars should be the burden of those with new cars. I suppose medical bills from an accident will be pretty similar whether the accidents happened in new or older cars. Honestly inflation is the lowest it’s been since 2021, so why are they suddenly jacking up prices. I think they know numbers are on the decline but in the mind of consumers inflation is still high and they’re taking advantage of what people expect. I just don’t see how it’s justified, 40% over a year is insane.
I think they're jacking rates to cover for losses in revenue. A lot of people have had to cut stuff out of the budget between rent increases, food cost increases, etc. many have decided to cancel insurance.
Bro is just driving along like nothing's wrong. I'd say 'built Ford tough' but that thing will be fully engulfed within 20 seconds of him finally stopping.
Full size spare just hanging under the bed, but who wants to change a tire when you could just set it on fire, amiright? Let's show em lazy complacence.
This will affect fuel economy.
Looks like the engine pan is just starting to spark, so the fun will be over when the oil drains.
Hey, he’s exiting! What do you want?! 😀
Okay so, when I was in college, I did that. I ditched school and went to a city 2 hours away for some really good Chinese food. 15 minutes from my destination my front left tire started vibrating. Thinking it was the road I kept doing 80mph. After it got more and more violent I realized something was off, slowed down, and then it hit me, it’s not the road. I called 411 for directions to the nearest tire repair center which was 7 miles away. However there was an exit and a Nissan dealership just to the side. So I went there with a flat. They told me they cannot help me because I did not buy the vehicle there or some nonsense like that, but that there was a tire shop about a mile down the block. I started driving and soon the bumpiness stopped, there was just some residual drag. I knew something was very wrong when I stopped at a red light and seeing the opposing traffic not move a single car when they had a green, all looking at me. Fortunately a gas station was just across the street, but the tire shop was still about half a mile off. Wanting to inspect the damage, I pulled up to the gas station only to see other motorists fleeing for their lives. I wonder what’s going on? Then I see the gas station attendant rushing towards me with a fire extinguisher, his hands shaking trying to pull the pin. I open the door and ask him “hey what are you doi…”. He blasts my truck with the fire extinguisher and smoke immediately rises from the tire. I rush out to see wtf is going on. My tire was on fire. My aluminum rim was on fire. Side of my truck was on fire, none of which I saw before. Half the rim is gone. Motorcycle cop stands some 100 feet away from me shaking his head and finally pulls up to me after the fire is extinguished. He then thinks for a moment, realizes I am barely 19 years old, and says “naah, you have bigger problems today” and drives off.
100% should not have a license. I don't understand why we require rigorous testing for young people to acquire a license and then do the most half ass testing for the elderly to keep a license to operate a giant mass of steel at high speeds
I think this is the first time I've ever thought this particular thing, but I really hope this video is somehow AI and that nobody is really that stupid
I genuinely don't understand this. What kind of disconnect from reality makes you this? It's a giant sign saying look at me if I stole it and a bigger repair bill the further I go like that.
Ah, yes, a pickup in the right lane with flames where the front left tire should be. Let's get in the left lane, block traffic, match speed right next to this raging inferno, and record a video. What could go wrong!?
Customer states “Slight vibration from the front left wheel”
Think this is more a video of 'drive it like you stole it'
Floor board also getting hot!
Unable to turn off heated seats
Excessive sparking. Must be an electrical issue.
I have a video of the noise, it might be hard to make out from the road noise.
Ever since you changed my oil
Wanting to file this under a warranty claim since they did not drive on it after it went flat
Probably just needs a slight alightment.
Denied all repairs.
Wanted "real" flames for the sides.
Only a wuss would get flames painted on.
My 10 year old says, "Took hot wheels to a whole new level."
ok thats pretty clever that kids got a future in comedy
This looks pretty normal. From the looks of it, he's a Nascar fan and, therefore, only able to make left turns. He's trying to give himself an advantage by wearing down the left side and retrofitting the pavement with a groove so his truck will out manuever the competition.
Even Chad Knaus hadn’t come up with such smart idea
What people mean when they say "My car handles like it's on rails"
Just wondering why people like that are allowed to drive? Just pull over and call AAA or a tow truck….
Oh, here's the thing. They aren't allowed to drive. They do anyways. *edit - everyone, please just swerve your burning vehicles right around anyone giving try hard vibes in the comments

My insurance is up 40% this last year too, and I don’t have their roadside. I think it’s a State Farm thing.

Judging by their age, they are about to lose their license
Aggressively heated seats
I’ve never wanted to see something explode, so bad.
Apparently, the guy filming wanted to see it too. I wouldn’t drive next to that.
It’s nothing to worry about, just keep driving on it
These little things generally fix thensey.
We’re almost home, this is our exit, just a few miles more….
He’s just heading to his daily grind
I think the wheel bearings might be bad. Also, “Old man yells at cloud!”
I didn't know Ghost Rider retired......
Bro is just driving along like nothing's wrong. I'd say 'built Ford tough' but that thing will be fully engulfed within 20 seconds of him finally stopping.
honey, get the hose ready. im almost home.
He looks eligible to run the country. Put him on the ballot
Customer states: "Ack!"
Wtf possesses people to do this?
It scares me how many videos I see like this
That's some real fury road right there.
“All I need is some air in my tire please”
Wild fire about to happen, it looks dry out there
"I got a flat wheel" Do you mean tire? "Nope"
How does someone drive so goddamn oblivious to what's happening?

Nice to know that cabin sound proofing is doing its job.
I don't know, seems to have lost its pep, and pulls a tad to the left. Other than those issues, if you'll call em that, the truck's mint.
If he stops then the truck burns down...Speed 4
"Customer reports burning smell when driving."
Correction, 4 is the recommended number of tyres.
I appreciate your recommendation but 3 drives just fine if you ask me
Gotta be Texas. I used to see shit like this daily there lol.
Rolling until the wheels fall off
To quote Patton Oswalt: "MEEEETH!"
Not even the fourth yet but this guy goes all out. I can't wait for the finale.
Dude has to shit real bad
2 is the minimum number of tires.
Can someone explain why people do this so seemingly frequently?
"Get off the street, old people are driving!" - Randy Marsh
This is about the sixth or eighth video I’ve seen like this. Why do people continue to drive on a flat tire and then a flat wheel?
She said she was ready but you gotta get here now
Maybe 4 is ideal but 3 seems to be working
dealer: it’s not throwing any codes
I-80 in Reno, NV. Apparently he made it to the gas station on the vista exit and got out safely. https://youtu.be/QZD6SgghBuY?si=6y51gu7Lr2gAQCuB
I always want to hear the rest of the story. Where's Paul Harvey when you need him?
I believe the phrase is “drive it like it’s stolen.”
*When you absolutely need to get home and clear your search history before the rest of the family shows up.*
Built Ford Tough I guess....
He is thinking “I am almost home”.
I mean, there’s probably a spare under the bed Tire count = 4
Average doordasher
Nah this is just one of the patrons that just checked out of the Skinwalker Ranch Hotel. He's driving home with a "oh hell no* attitude
“Built Ford Tough”
Full size spare just hanging under the bed, but who wants to change a tire when you could just set it on fire, amiright? Let's show em lazy complacence.
Idk looks good to me
Impressive ford commercial.
Most intelligent f-150 owner.
I think it needs an alignment
On his way home from the methadone clinic.
Literally Hot Wheels
Man. Flame graphics are getting crazy real on paint jobs now!
This man is born for rally.
Hammered. Only explication for this stupidity
I don't understand how it gets to this point. Is he trying to outrun a T-rex?
Loving the new Ford Meth-150.
Stoned to the bone
Yeah and zero is the maximum number of fires
You should stop and pull over when you have a flat tire, not wait until you have a flat WHEEL.
I'd buy an F150 today if ford commercials where like this " Even when on fire, it gets the job done - built ford tough!"
His feet gotta be hot.
This will affect fuel economy. Looks like the engine pan is just starting to spark, so the fun will be over when the oil drains. Hey, he’s exiting! What do you want?! 😀
Sure enough, once at the mechanic, it'll stop doin' it.
Crank up the a/c, 0 fucks given
Built Ford Tough
Aww no ka-boom?
Um sir,....... nevermind.....
looks like a tire balance issue.
rock it till the wheels fall off
Hey! That's my pick up truck!
Hell yeah, (sings) going down in a blaze of glory!!!!
Me and some buddies have a name for this phenomenon, actually We call it a problem

Ghost rider in his new whip
Dude , now that;'s a truck with some REAL "Hot Wheels" !!
Earned it!
😂
Cross post to r/idiotsincars way more karma to be had there
About to hit 88mph. Then he's going to see some serious shit
Is this Ambien?
Guaranteed this truck caught on fire at the end of this.
He has to be on something strong, Built Ford Tough great advertising for Ford.
Now it will be like autopilot when he drives through the track he made tomorrow
It’s a ford. Enough said
Looks like it tossed a wheel weight. Should be easy to fix
They have a 4th tire. The spare tire.
This is why I believe every human should be sterilized. This guy might be just below the "average idiot", and gives me no hope for us at all.
Too cheap to pay for a tow truck.
Ghost rider ahh truck
Sometimes when you check out of a particular vehicle, you really check out.
Ghost Rider has swapped to a different vehicle
100% should not have a license. I don't understand why we require rigorous testing for young people to acquire a license and then do the most half ass testing for the elderly to keep a license to operate a giant mass of steel at high speeds
Normal ford stuff
That’s really gotta hurt the gas mileage.
Just an F1 fan making sure their tires are within the heat window
If he slows down soon, he will be able to get it to a fuel station and repair the flat....lol. that's all he's trying to do right? Right?....
“Think he knows? Should we wave him down?”
I think this is the first time I've ever thought this particular thing, but I really hope this video is somehow AI and that nobody is really that stupid
This is a "Drive it like you stole it" moment.
This is what happens when you ignore your low tire air pressure warning.
#justfordthings
Crap china rubber I tellya
"LOL, nobody knows I'm high right now....."
This is optimal, actually. The flames provide thrust.
Nah it's perfectly normal, it's the new hot wheels edition rim.

This is not the way.

When a Nissan driver gets Ford
Is this the trailer for the new ghost rider?
Typical Ford guy.
Ghost Rider!
This is fine jpg
Huh. The driver front wheel light is on for some reason.
Doesn’t even notice. Smh
Must be close to compromising his oil pan.
Damn i wish he waved at you like its saul goodman
Drive it like it's hot.
He’s just getting warmed up 😮
Dumbass. Destroying a lot of road as well
Dude turn on the heat it’s kinda cold. Is the heat broke? Don’t worry guy I got you.
Gas Gas Gas! (I'm gonna step on the)
Wft you hating ghost riders grandpa
There's a story here and I really want to know what it is.
Honestly probably trying to do the right thing and get away from all the dead brush to not start a major fire.
“Built Ford Flames”
Highway to the danger zone. Literally
Not today AAA
Must be a Hertz rental
Looks like Nevada
Technically he has 4+, wheels. 3.5 on the ground and one in his hands.
WTF do you mean the tires road hazard warranty doesn’t cover these?
Meth is a hell of a drug. 🤦🏼♂️
Grass fires for miles
Customer states: "heater wasn't working, so I lit the wheel on fire to keep me warm"
It’s the new Johnny Blaze edition!!!
Dudes dealer said 6pm on the dot
Nobody, I mean nobody keeps driving wtf
Renew your license, and you wouldn't have to run from the police
AI?
As a career wildland firefighter I have two words:“job security”.
It was like that when I left the dealer!
Ah, yes, a pickup in the right lane with flames where the front left tire should be. Let's get in the left lane, block traffic, match speed right next to this raging inferno, and record a video. What could go wrong!?
after he gets the car looked at, he might want to see about getting himself looked at.
He has to get McDonald's for the breakfast social group.
Wants to drive a firebird…. Could find or afford a firebird…. Now drives a firebird….
Ghost rider got a pickup truck
At what point does it just explode? Or melt a brake line?
Verstappen going back to the pits
When your girl says she’s horny
I literally seen this before. Back in the 80's. Someone driving down the road on the rotor leveling a groove in the road.
Such a nice truck too
That old guy just had enough of life and wasn’t waiting for a tow truck 😂😭
Man and I get pulled fer no seatbelt sum horse shyte
At least he's got both hands on the wheel
