Blind dates can be full of surprises, but few ever end with the man crapping his pants – and with cameras rolling.

Such are the scenes in a Ford Motor Company promo video for the 2015 Mustang, in which a hidden-camera captures a gorgeous blonde stunt driver and her unsuspecting dates.

The video, which has racked up more than a quarter-million views since it was posted to YouTube late last week, runs just under three and half minutes. It shows technicians installing tiny cameras in the car’s dash.

We then see the driver in a typical bar speed-dating scene as she interviews the men for likes and dislikes. With each guy, she invites them for a ride in her new Mustang. She feigns ignorance about how to shift and open up the car. One guy offers to show her what the car can do.

But then the show is all hers. She turns off into a vacant parking lot and then puts the pedal to the metal, her doe-eyed look turning ferocious as she shifts and burns rubber, spinning donuts in the turns.

Her dates seem to rise out of the seat, stopped only by their seat belt and a tight-knuckled hold on the nearest grips. The sight of their faces is worth twice the sticker price.

It is not known if the event was an actual prank or if the men were knowing participants in a commercial. But when a car goes that fast, it’s hard to fake that reaction.
