Video: Rally Fighter Dune Buggy Survives a Tumble and Keeps Going

Everyone’s definition of badass is different. Some prefer something that gets down the quarter mile faster than a scolded dog. Others like a car that sticks to the road and will get around a track like no other. Many of us are looking for a perfectly mixed combination of both. No matter what your preference, though, I guarantee you that you’ll find this video impressive. It could even be said that it takes awesome to an entirely new level.

Buddy Crisp’s LS3-powered Rally Fighter has been around for a while, but his latest jaunt has thrust it straight to the center of public attention. While fighting for position in the “Best in the Desert Race,” Crisp managed to take his ride for a graceful tumble.

Now, the flip alone isn’t the impressive part. After slamming his buggy directly on its rear and front bumpers, the Fighter then comes to rest on all fours again. Without even stopping to check it out, Buddy keeps going, maintaining his momentum. He is only be delayed by one thing, that pesky hood popping open. Does he stop and strap it down? Nope! Buddy continues the acrobatic act in epic fashion by pumping the brakes until the hood snaps clear off. Sounds like a good opportunity for free weight reduction to us!

It seems as if “off road crash and burn” is the theme of the week. Heck, maybe it’s even turning into a new trend. Now only if the Ford Raptor featured on StangTV with more bravery than brains could’ve come to the same fate as this beast of a vehicle.

Broken Hood Latch? Ain't nobody got time fo' dat!
