Yeah there are a few copycat Uncle Tony style videos popping up on YT. I feel like they are kicking the guy when he's down. I'm sure he feels bad enough...he is a fellow car guy whether he's stupid or not. For the record I don't think he's stupid, but smart folks sometimes do dumb things I cant explain it. In the video what I saw was panic, you don't make good choices in a panic. I lalso saw someone say he should have stopped when the throttle stuck, that is akin to people who keep driving with the check engine light, yeah it may cause damage but you try and limp it home...I'm not sure there is some rule book that says stop when you have car trouble, but it may be an a states driving regulations. In other words, I think its ok to try and limp a car home legally..or it used to be. I lost forward range in a Chevy turbo 350 trans once, I was less than 10 miles from home, I drove the thing home in reverse in the correct lane. a cop stopped me and said"you may cause problems because you are facing the wrong way.." I said "yeah but i am in the lane for the direction Im going..." I didnt get a ticket but he told me to get it home and leave it there till fixed.
