Our thoughts are with everyone who got caught up in the series of tornadoes that rampaged through the South during the past few days. I'm a Californian who has been through a few earthquakes, including the Loma Prieta quake in 1989. But having lived in Iowa for two years, I can say that there is nothing quite as chilling as a tornado. I've spent a fair amount of time crouched in a cellar listening to the radio, and have witnessed firsthand the destruction they can bring. So here's to the guy who managed to drive his Mustang out of the Tuscaloosa rubble. Hope everyone can get their lives, towns and rides rebuilt soon. Video after the jump. Via WFAA.com

Yo, AD-ROCK, why the fuck you gotta hate on Hondas all the sudden, I've owned both Fords and Hondas and it's not easy to kill a Honda engine.

AD-ROCK, i bet the V-tec kicked in yo would still work in a honda, i dont understand why every 1 hates hondas, they are made to be EFFECTIVE with low mpg and still have nice power. American muscle doesnt just spend alot... they WASTE a damn lot of gas.

judging from the ghettofabulous walmart rims this guys rockin, the engine already sounded like that before the tornado. AD-ROCK would you care to explain to me why an h22a makes almost as much horsepower as a foxbody 5.0 with half the cylinders?

I'm with AD-ROCK, just took an '07 Civic on a 600 km trip and a mosquito somehow got past the air filter and into the sensor... shut the car down at the 440 km mark. If a mosquito can beat up a Honda I'm seriously doubting it would move after that... just sayin
