You might not believe us, but the owner of this 1970 Mercury Cougar is providing many different public services with his actions in this video. Oh, sure, on the surface it appears that all that “Purgin'”Spurgeon Adkins is doing is raising a little bit of hell while reducing his rear tires’ life expectancy to nil. But the truth is that there is so much more going on. What, you may be asking, could he possibly be doing that would be considered a “public service?” Doing burnouts on a country lane doesn’t qualify, does it?

Yes, it does. First and foremost, he’s scaring off deer and other animals from the road surface. Now, that might sound bad, but the truth is that the noise that the Cougar makes is making wildlife avoid this section of roadway. He’s keeping little fluffy creatures from becoming roadkill, and in the process saving his neighbors the problems associated with animal/vehicle incidents. He’s fogging for mosquitoes…you know that everybody around these parts won’t be bothered by no skeeters for quite some time, they don’t like the smoke. And he’s even going to the trouble of repaving some of the country road he’s having a ball on.

And don’t forget the rubber that is being laid down as the 351 Cleveland overwhelms the rear tires…any attention that this road receives is good attention, and it looks like it hasn’t seen much in years. So spare your cries of “hoon!” and thank your neighborhood delinquent when they cut loose with the car…they are thinking about their community!
