a truck, caught in a twister, spun on it's drivers side door, then uprighted, DROVE AWAY! Wow! Thanks Marc B! This was such GREAT publicity for GM and Chevy, that Chevy is giving the 16 year old driver a NEW truck!


the video is out there everywhere, the one version I posted has already been taken down for copyright blah blah blah, but the video was really crummy quality anyway



Chevy is collaborating with Bruce Lowrie Chevrolet of Fort Worth to give the driver and his family a brand new Silverado.

Riley Leon, who's only 16, will soon have a 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LT All Star Edition in Cherry Red. 

The dealer decided to lend a hand after seeing Leon's interview on KHOU 11, and Chevy has also donated $50,000 to the American Red Cross to support natural disaster relief efforts across Texas.

"We are thankful Riley is safe, commend his driving skills during a frightening situation, and our hearts are with other families in Texas that have been affected by these storms," Chevrolet said in a statement. "Due to the quick action of the team at Bruce Lowrie Chevrolet, the new truck will be presented to Riley and his family on Saturday, March 26, at the dealership." 

 Leon was apparently coming home from an interview with Whataburger when he encountered the storm on his way home, as KHOU 11 reports. He claims it was a family vehicle, though he had just purchased it from his dad.
