Mike Card used a large digger to wreck the Audi A4 to “prove a point” after his daughter was spotted in the car with someone who was “not supposed to be there”.
Using the powerful piece of construction machinery, Card can be seen flipping the car onto its side and then back before tearing it apart.
It was uploaded by Card’s son Kaylor along with the caption: “Yep! When a dad has to prove a point! #DADDYNOTHAPPY”
He then named who is believed to have been the boy in the car with his sister.
Andrea Gibson wrote: “Must have done something real bad for daddy to destroy his own car and loose money.
“The poor person in me screams you could have sold it but the parent in me says go dad.”
Lisa Michael West added: “I think I could have come up with punishment that wasn’t quite so costly. This is nuts.”
Others praised Card for his handling of the situation, writing: “Sure was a pretty car but much respect toward Mike! Hilarious.”
Jordan Tyler Hicks said: “Ole Mike shortened out. I’ve seen that temper a few times back in the good ole days.”
The family are from Hiawassee in Georgia and the now ruined red Audi initially belonged to Kaylor before being handed down to his younger sister Ashlyn.
