I watched the video many times, and still do not understand why he just took a left turn, and how did the Jetta ended up being ten feet away from where the MR2 was? I was amazed no one beat the hell out him right there and then.

as to what happened with the Jetta, I am guessing he went over the curb, the grass, and the hit the other car that was parked where he ended up. He stopped coasting (brakes applied) and the other car got "launched" for a distance... no ebrake? out of gear?
He's just lucky he didn't kill anybody... looks like there were plenty of people out and about around the cars!
At least there is one thing that can be said about the driver... "dumb ***!"

I got a good laugh out of this video.....I feel sad for the jetta. I would have been pissed and people should know how to control their car in those kind of situations (this kid should have taken some kind of skid school.....!).

oh my god that is too funny,
the sudden left tun may be from his rear tires spinning and he turned the wheel the wrong way to try and correct himself from going sideways.
Or maybe he tried to spin the car around and do a 180

I think that he tried to show off by spinning his car but didn't get enough wheel spin to spin the car and instead his car went where he pointed the wheels and then he couldn't brake on the grass and skidded into the Jetta........
