On Valentine's Day, Ford Mustang busts myth that women can't drive

With Valentine’s Day round the corner, there’s a lot of love in the air. But for these men on a blind date with an attractive woman, it was just a lot of tire smoke! Why? Because the attractive woman they were set up on a date with, turned out to be a professional stunt driver about to take them for the ride of their life.

Ford, which recently launched the 2015 Mustang, decided to prank a bunch of unsuspecting guys by fixing them up on a blind date with the seemingly shy woman. To persuade the men to go on a date, they were told that this was a dating reality show and to qualify they had to get through this round.

As the couple exit from a coffee shop, the hidden cameras, fitted into the dashboard, roll each time a different man enters the car with the same stunt driver. As they both agree to get in, the woman confesses that she doesn’t know how to drive a manual car. As expected, the men begin chatting up the woman with what all they are - from being a ninja to a ‘well rounded man’ - with one even asking the woman “let me drive… I’ll show you what this thing can do.”

All captured on the hidden camera in the car’s dashboard, the scene quickly shifts from the unsuspecting men, relaxing and bragging about their outdoor activities to them clinging on to their seat with sweat quickly building up on their brows as the professional driver cuts through an open ground as she drifts and then ends with a series of burnouts and donuts, straight out of a Fast and Furious movie. “I’m a professional stunt driver,” the woman tells the men even as they are begging her to stop. “You just ripped the sh*t out of this car!” one them was heard screaming.

Apart from being pure marketing genius, the video crushes the stereotype of women being terrible drivers. As one of them says, “I guess you’re showing me how to drive this thing, aren’t you?”
