Yeah, they just interviewed the kid on the local news. He was on his way back from a job interview with Whataburger. He has had some dealerships reach
out to him for a new truck possibly and Chevrolet has also. Very lucky, just a few scratches. Looked to be about 16. He said the kids at school are calling him "Tornado Boy".

That’s nothing. Anyone who has seen the movie Twister should know the ultimate tornado vehicle has got to be a 3rd gen Dodge Ram!!!

There is a version of this video out there with the Bob Seager tune "Like a Rock" overdubbed. Just like the Chevy commercials. It is perfectly done and would make a great marketing piece.
