Driver Packs Hummer With Gas

"A Hummer burned in Homosassa, Florida, Wednesday while attempting to haul four filled five-gallon gas cans in the back seat. The Citrus County Fire Rescue is investigating the cause of the fire, but I have a hunch on what probably caused it to do as much damage as it did (the 20 gallons of gasoline in the back)."

-Erin Marquis (Jalopnik)

Unfortunately this is a runner up due to the driver actually surviving. He refused medical treatment, so maybe the species still has a change of this removal of stupid.

Despite the fact that it appears the driver wasn't injured I'm more than willing to vote for an HM for this level of idiocy. Thanks!
