Roasting churro with car exhaust from @thehoonigans

The creator stands in front of a modified Honda Civic at a nighttime car meet, holding a churro directly over the vehicle's hood-exit exhaust. As the driver revs the engine, the car shoots a massive burst of flames, instantly toasting the churro. The creator then pulls the smoking churro back, takes a bite, and nods in approval while the surrounding crowd reacts to the spectacle.
