Big Reveal Goes Bad

In the last several years, gender reveal parties have become popular. That’s when expecting parents reveal if they’re expecting a boy or girl in dramatic fashion. Well, it doesn’t get much more dramatic than this. In Australia, a popular gender reveal method is known as a “burnout”. Basically a car revs up and either pink or blue smoke comes out. In this specific instance, blue smoke came out, but so did flames! The car caught fire and had to be abandoned by the driver. Aussie authorities released the footage to try and warn people about the dangers of “burnouts”. Let’s face facts, it’s almost inevitable that your son will end up inflicting some sort of damage on your car, but this is probably a record for how early he has done it. Check the video out below!
