California - Some drivers watch too many Fast & Furious movies or play too many car games; sadly, those same drivers often attempt to recreate stunts from those same movies and car shows.

There's a reason why professional drivers are able to perform amazing feats on race tracks - they have skill and experience. 

The driver of this Mercedes-Benz had neither.

YouTube user Preston Graff uploaded a clip of a Mercedes driver attempting to do a burnout in his sedan. 

The driver in the black Mercedes-Benz attempts to do a burnout and possibly drift his car but ends up smashing into pillar along the side of the road. He drives off, leaving much of his front bumper behind.
