Venerable publication Road&Track brings us the story of the YouTuber who crashed his GMC Hummer EV trying to jump a ditch after just nine miles of ownership.

A YouTuber named Mondi picked up three passengers, headed to a gravel road near a freeway, and did some launches mostly without incident -- though at least one passenger seems to be not amused -- before crashing hard into a big dip at the 5:00-minute mark of the video. So hard that he destroys the radiator and the right-rear suspension. He later says the vehicle is in "permanent crab walk mode".

Parts were thrown and an indent from the 9,000-lb Hummer was left in the road, but Mondi apparently limped it home, even with the right-rear damage.

It looks like this happens in Las Vegas -- there's a GMC dealer matching the name of the one shown in the video located in that city. That reminds me of a line from a two-decade-old flick about gentleman thieves: "In this town, your luck can change just that quickly."

Indeed, Mondi gambled that his Hummer would conquer this particular jump, and instead, it went bust.
