Disguised Jeff Gordon test drives car with a salesman

(CBS News) While it might like a perfect fit for you and the price may be right, everyone needs a test drive before they purchase a new car. But what happens when that test drive is being done by NASCAR superstar Jeff Gordon in disguise? The ride of one salesman's life, that's what.

"You are liable for any damages, sir, so please stop the car!" Priceless. The hilarious, thrill ride was posted by Pepsi who write about the hidden-camera prank:

Jeff Gordon and Pepsi MAX go to a car dealership where a disguised Jeff Gordon takes an unsuspecting car salesman on the test drive of his life.

Sure, it's a marketing gimmick, but it's the kind I can get behind. I mean, did you see the look on that poor salesman's face? I honestly felt bad for him, but was still laughing hard. How about all of you? As always, feel free to leave me some comment love below with your thoughts.

UPDATE: Well, I mentioned it was a marketing gimmick, and like so many good ones, it turns out that this one sadly isn't real. The video was produced by Funny or Die's company Gifted You, and the terrified salesman is in fact an actor. So is it still funny? Sure. But is it real? Nope.
