Driver Defends Flying Through Streets in Tricked Out VW Bug

- A hooked-up Volkswagen Bug with 35-inch wheels flew over hills, sped down residential streets and drove up embankments. The driver careened through neighborhoods and parking lots on a quiet morning in San Diego. Blake Wilkey claims he took all necessary precautions when he got behind the wheel. "We scanned the streets making sure there was no one out and about doing yard work or kids out," he said. He got slapped with 26 violations including reckless driving and conspiring to commit a crime. #InsideEdition
If he slapped a red bull sticker on it i bet they wouldn't even care.
😂💀😂💀true true
True, true.
Hell yeah
😂
Nah donut sticker 😎
“Your honor, you have got to admit it was badass”
fr fr hahha
It was definitely Badass!!
yeah but like, no
@Nicky h225 I'm sure his ass got a whooping when he went to jail for this.
Yeah, I mean there’s no possible way you can stop the car community. We’re just too crazy.
I’d rather be on the road with this guy than most SUV owners.
Yep. It's not "reckless driving". He knows what he's doing. He knows how to drive better than most other people
Or bmw drivers 💀
Pretty much exactly what I was gonna say. Him doing stunts is safer than 95% of the drivers on the road, easily.
@@skatingsam96 He's not reckless, he's wreckless. ;)
OR a tesla driving itself.
Bro is still safer than the average Nissan Altima driver
Bro I deadass just had an experience with an Altima today!
@@MeTheMan3202was it a 20-30 year old single mother running people off the road?
I had one last week with a “baby on board sticker” almost run me off the freeway for passing her.
@@saltybrackishfreshIt's always the baby on board stickers, man. A vertical dent in the trunk lid and crunched up front bumper is the cherry on top.
@@saltybrackishfresh OMG, I saw a b*tch with the "baby on board" cutting lanes constantly. I was like stupidHoe.
And definitely smarter than a nissan juke owner
"What were you thinking?!"
"uhm, that it was gonna be awesome"
Reporter couldn't deny that tho
The reporters eyes 👁👁
Report can’t and can cuz he knows that it’s awesome for the other dude but the reporter doesn’t have balls of steel like the buggy boi
When he said that 😂😂😂
Mate you beat me to this comment lol. legit gonna post the same thing facts though
lolllll
“Look how close he comes to this pedestrian.”
He’s Literally Watching
Yeah, from 10 feet away. Pretty sure that's not "close"
@@chicagorc3967 you should see how close rally spectators get to cars lmao im sure you would have a heart attack
If you look close enough in the real video that pedestrian is wearing a summit racing tee
Fake news for you!!!
And wearing a Summit Racing shirt
“What were you thinking!?”
“This is gonna be awesome”
This dude’s incredible
It is honestly the best answer he could've given to the uneducated if I'm honest.
I will never forget the ending. “Have you learned your lesson?” “Oh entirely, yeah” Next clip he’s going 95 mid-air down a San Diego street
Make that make sense. That clip came before he said he learned his lesson 😂 Pretty moot
@@benjaminbotley the show's editing of the scenes made it funny, that's what he's saying, but it went over your head
“Have you learned your lesson”
“Oh entirely”
My ass I bet this guy is already at work making a bigger crazier build with that 63k he got
100%
As he should
More like giving 63k to a lawyer
@@Boxman2321 stay in the barn🤣🤣
Most definitely lol with tinted windows this time
1:44 "Have you learned your lesson?"
Yea next time we're tightening up the suspension and increasing horsepower.
I like your thinking
Yea lol
Facts looked a little soggy out back tbh
What’s funny is they actually did lmaooo and built another with like 1500hp and 1200ftlbs of torque
He shook his head no as he said “yeah entirely” which suggests he did not learn his lesson
Judge: "how do you plead?"
Him: "Guilty...of being totally rad."
there's virtually 0 negative comments about this. I think that speaks for itself. totally worth it.
DOT is crazy uptight
@@joshm696yep. Worthless department
Nope, he is a menace
@@ultimatums1. I am sure if the same people cheering him actually ran into people actions like this, they wouldn’t be so positive.
Ever ride a motorcycle?
"What were you thinking?"
"This is gonna be awesome."
Haha, the perfect response.
@Self Made Auto The way he’s whipping that Volks it is..
Stoke levels were high :)
What a cool guy, he didn't hurt anyone never intends to.
Came here to see this as top comment.
Of freaking course!!! I would've said the same thing. There were no cars there, he did take precautions. Anyway that video got him so much publicity and free news appearances that it was worth it.
"have you learned your lesson"
"oh entirely, yea"
Troll level, over 9,000
repoter : have you learned your lesson
him : oh entirely yea
him : i need softer seats
@mea culpa after being caught, you think hed stop, prolly does it at night, not taking credit and a bit more discreet. There's plenty of ways to get away with it
Beat me to it
I'm not entirely convinced
he sold the machine so you'll never see him doing stunts again..
Why do media outlets always hyperbolize to try and get a reaction? This guy from what I’ve seen has outstanding car control, he should get an award.
Bruh it's a public road.💀 It doesn't matter if he's Jesus
He's doing highway speeds on residential streets over blind hills.
@@dafunkmonster aha! but they have spotters!
26 traffic violations, but no one was hurt.
18 year old girl texting on her phone on the highway: try me
He drives better than 99% of the people they issue licenses to.
Quite the hyperbole chad
So what happens when the person who drives worse than 99% of people does the same thing? His legal defense would be identical, and as such, they would have to be released unpunished the same.
Specialopsdave when the person who drives worse than 99% of people does the same thing, they will crash in a very timely matter. There will be a significant amount of damage to be covered, and possibly even other people harmed in the process, leading to much higher charges.
@@Random_Banshee But don't you want to prevent those deaths? The way we do that is by enforcing rules, and they have to be applied evenly.
@@LemurJackson *98%
When he said he learned his lesson he really means that he learned not to get caught
Good for him
by learning his lesson he meant he learned how commie california can be. lol. they ended up trying to confiscate his bug but he shipped it over to the UAE before they could get it
yep he just learned to get around the system
@MALACHAI SHASHU why did you bring race into this?
@MALACHAI SHASHU *they're made up
Still the safest driver in cali
Bro had more control of the vehicle driving like that than 98% of all other drivers
Driving while texting is probably much more dangerous than driving like a maniac
Right u right she right
Oh awesome guess I’m a safe driver
Maybe.
At least this guy can actually see where hes driving
And doing both is Called Teenage driving.
His response to “what were you thinking” was priceless
Australian response..
He wanted to respond “I wasn’t, just like always” 😂
This guy is a champion at Vw Baja Class 11 division. He's wrecking all competitors. Wilkey#1
He even LOOKS like Jeff Spicoli
That was awesome 😎
“What in the world were you thinking?”
“Uhh..about doing it again.”
How does a construction worker not only afford to live in San Diego but afford to build this
he makes money building them
“You could have killed someone”
“Yeah but did you see that air bro?”
Yeah but that backflip tho
Life is full of risks and this guys bug is baller
@@722Moo lol yeah
"my first reaction was, you could've killed somebody" That's because he's a big fat pussy. Of course you would think that.
From a legal standpoint, if no one died it doesn't matter.
“What were you thinking!?”
“That this is going to be awesome”
Dude’s a legend
Derek Vuong WHERES THE LAMB SAUCE!!!!!!! 😡😡😡😡
Derek Vuong 😂😆😆
Hes like “uhhhmm.. this is going to be awesome?🥴”
Derek Vuong Lmao the fact that 1.2k people agree with you calling him a “legend” is just sad lmao like this dude clearly is driving recklessly no matter how you put it. Especially on a busy road?? His dumb actions can cost people their lives, but so “awesome” huh?
@@andrewaguayo115 Found the designated driver guys
This is how I picture America. Freedom.
How did he not lose his license?
"OMG, Look how close he drives to a pedestrian!!"
Pedestrian: :D :D Best day ever!!
The dude wasn’t even close to hitting him
It was his mate not even a pedestrian
@@nortique2777 tbf the old dude did look like a random, but also.. he was nowhere near the sidewalk, street was clear
Right. I was kinda thinking the old man might have been enjoying himself. 🤷♂️
@@nortique2777 i like the car but it was an old man
Only reason he got in trouble is that he didn't pay the city before doing it
Exactly
Yep
💯
Fax
Ken block knows all about that
Where i live this is the type of vehicle we need to drive on the roads, they keep making them worse and worse
Spoken like a man who learned his entire lesson.
He's not driving like a maniac he's driving like a pro
💯
A rocket league pro i see
Hes driving live he stole it
Have you learned your lesson?
Entirely yeah...... don't get caught next time.
True
so basically, he was needing ads for his company, and needed inside edition to advertise it for him for free?
Might have paid off his fines and lawyers with the extra projects. 7 million views on here and I'm sure it got a lot more attention locally and on other sites.
@@whochairs I don’t think he got any of the money from this
All publicity is good publicity
At the cost of a fine that is
I watch this and think to myself if I had money like that I would hit up this guy to make me one of these. Thank you Inside Edition!
What an absolute menace. Legend.
“It’s going to be awesome” LOL. Mission accomplished. “Have you learned your lesson?” Actual answer = not so much.
Reporter was definitely the kid who reminded the teacher that they forgot to collect homework
Lmaoo
Probably still a virgin too
😂😂
That one kid that we hate
officiallygow no he’s the kid that tells on you for saying frick
But that's one hell of a Beetle though..
Had a v8 ls engine in it.
I’m pretty sure that’s the reason why he got the 26 violations.
I’d call it a wasp
IM YOUR 1K LIKE!!!!
Its now in dubai
Judge how do you plea?
Him: freaking awesome!
Reckless driving? No, skilled driving
Of course he wasn't trying to hide his identity. He's not a coward
It's called white privilege.
TheMrKeats bruh 😂
Nope - just an idiot.
@@TheMrKeats Let's not get political here
@@TheMrKeats yes white privilege to get 26 violations 😂😂😂
I would rather have him driving like that next to me than some idiot looking at their phone!
martinrps13 me too
true
Well said, at least the dude knows what he's doing. As for someone distracted on their phone, like the reporter stated: "Is like playing Russian Roulette with your car".
True
One more thing, he needs a probation officer that will drug test him weekly at his expense
Unfortunately for you he’s become a wildly successful off road racer and CZcamsr with millions of followers.
Fly around super fast: doesnt crash
Drivers that drive under speed limit: still crash
Into cars that aren’t moving i even saw one inside a local bike shop
This dude's still less dangerous than a lady texting
Shocks bro
@@Soliye. The truth in this statement is unbearable😓
driving dangerous while paying attention can be a lot safer than someone driving normally not paying attention
"look how close he gets to this pedestrian" - someone who's never driven beside a sidewalk before
Yeah but the thing is they can lose control
@@Blackshuck51 so can anyone other driver on the road 1
@@Blackshuck51 Its not the drivers fault if folks can't ambulate correctly
@@Blackshuck51 I'll take that guy over a drunk driver any day.
This is why there should be a tree-lined verge between sidewalks and roadways
He learned his lesson to do it again.
Ah yes. The old "It's gonna be awesome" defense. Works every time.
This is why you put “everything was filmed in Mexico”
Yep.
Lmaoo
Except that roads have signs on them, and geography and houses can be clearly traced using the footage.
Where do they say that?
Lulz.. Indeed..
"Have you learned your lesson?"
"Oh, entirely, yeah"
Blake, don't ever change, you legend
@Sideways G and wear a mask to hide identity 😂
lol don't film yourself when committing a crime and show off said film online. Perfect lesson. Now where do I get this VW bug lift kit
You could see in his face that he's already bought another project with even more power.
Yeah the next time i have to go faster
@@whatsthedougscore3050 already has plans for his next trip lol
Better make sure that nobody's going to end up getting injured or else you're shining yourself a prison sentence with my friend
"Driving like a maniac." OK grandpa.
@Nspinicelli Grandpa 🤣
Should've said ",*Ok Boomer*".
OKAY BOOMER OKAY BOOMER
I don't think my "reply" friends realize I'm making fun of the guy saying "driving like a maniac. Hahahah
OKAY BOOMER
"What were you thinking!?"
" this is gonna be awesome" 😂😂
ikr, and "did you learn your lesson?"
Yeah, definately... (clear my personal info from the vid first)
When he says I learned my lesson he meant next time he does that blur his face and license plate
He was truly honest 😂
Blake Dugas Truly best answer he could have made. Hope this dudes a Christian, I wanna see him in heaven.
Blake Dugas DFLLLLLL
Ok I'm not saying it's acceptable behavior but that's badass.
If he took all the necessary precautions for safety I'd say its acceptable behavior.

He’s a criminal that should be stopped, those damn thugs need to be stopped.
-Have you learned your lesson?
-Yes, i will do it off camera now
I love how everyone is sticking up for him 😂😂😂😂😂 Amazing. I’d be more worried about the texting women on their phones than this guy.
Or the women in general
Right 😂
I feel a collab coming on! (Please?)
swear to god they use aimbot towards motorcyclist
Yo the algorithm got you here too? Also yeah that guy is a damn good driver!
“Have you learned your lesson?”
-“absolutely! Next time I will make sure I take my license plates off and not paint my last name on the side of the car.”
Don’t forget to cover face
Your guess is as good as mine 😋
All he had to do was not show his face in the video. When cops questioned him say nothing. They can’t prove it was him.
@@Eli-9 I’ll have to press X on that one chief
Facts
Destroying them embankments like he's going to cause all kind of erosion and just wash out roads and just be a horrible mess if it rains
And now wilkey's company is worth 12.5 millions
Inside edition is such a boomer. And the interviewer is so annoying.
Yep, he is the kid who sayid language after you said frick in elementary school. While the guy shouldn’t have been driving in tight streets like that and running over curbs and foliage, he didn’t deserve what he got and a reporter to scold him for doing it
Typical old people. You know how limited and governed they be
@Jack does Stuff Imagine a dirt course for that buggy. With jumps and stuff, ramps and all that. Thats heaven basically.
@@fissilepear7805 language?!? Lol jk
@Jack does Stuff key word "could have". If you live life saying i could get hurt doing that or hurt doing whatever. Then you best not be driving at all. Yall must live some pretty sad boring life's to not think that was just a little badass. He had watchers set up all along his route.
26 violations... 0 victims
Well yeah, the government thieves have to steal money from the people somehow!
Borrusimo B sw
Government needs to get money for shopping things worth billions every year somehow. 🤷♂️🤷♂️
Nice
Yeah, all fun and games till someone loses a torso.
The only lesson he learned was how to have a good time.

It was awsome dude!!!🤘🤘🤘

Dude didn't regret a thing, you can just see it in his face.
Edit: I wouldn't either.
And who gives a fook anyways
he definitely regret it after been slapped with 26 violations lmao
@1misanthropist yep
Jail time isn’t regrettable am I right?
@@j.a.3138 nah. he paid em all off easily with that 61 grand he made from it.

Driver: "uh.....It's gonna be awesome"
1:45
Lol 😂 I’m so cool 😎
“Yes, I’ve learned my lesson”
epic
“He did nothing to hide his identity” of course he didn’t he wasn’t trying to commit a crime
He knew that it was a crime
@Bohan Wang you just falsely woooshed someone. This is an all time low
"he wasn’t trying to commit a crime"
Guess he was unjustly given those 26 traffic violations according to you.
A full helmet would have been a good idea ☺️

"He almost hit this person"

"What were you thinking" the reporter asked....Uhhh this is gonna be awesome. LOLOLOL
Bruh this reporter is talking to this guy like he is a child.

U-haul rents out huge box trucks to people that can’t even back a car into a parking space. I’d feel safer on the road with this dude than I would with one of those U-haul first time drivers.
Yes! I'd feel safer with that driver than most drivers period atleast I know he's going bonkers lol 😆
It’s an automatic truck with a little length, not exactly a set of turnpike doubles or something .
fact, slowest things on interstates
just saw a uhaul PICKUP hit the water barrels on my way to San Fran. I was like wtf did the steering fail or what?
I saw that u-haul truck on the beach with drunk people hanging off the back lol
He's 100% in the wrong, but damn if that ain't cool.
Dude's in his own little world.
Reporter : Have you learned your lesson?
Wilkins: Oh yeah totally yeah....

Wilkins had infact not learned his lesson at all and was planning to to it again.

This is how imagined the narration in my head. Glad I wasn’t alone. Cheers
Why did I read that in his voice 😂😂😂💀💀
the only victim was Wilkins himself by being surrounded by idiots
TO TO IT?
This interviewer definitely reminded the teachers about the homework at the end of class.
