Roasting hotdog with car exhaust from @thehoonigans

A man stands next to a high-performance Subaru rally car at night, holding a hotdog on a stick over the hood's exhaust pipe. The car revs aggressively, shooting massive flames that instantly cook the hotdog. The man then takes a bite of the charred hotdog, looking surprised and impressed, before the video cuts to the driver, Travis Pastrana, laughing from inside the vehicle.
