Sounds like a slipping clutch to me. In that video however it sounded like he was just spinning tires.

Put the car in 3rd gear when going like 30mph and step on the gas all the way. See if the RPMS climb rapidly and if the clutch slips.

No, not in the video but what you described. Although if it was a slipping clutch it wouldn't just do it from a dig, it would do it when shifting into other gears as well.

Are you sure you're not just spinning in 1st? lol

Sounds to me, and most others, that your clutch may be going out. Give it the lug test. =P go 30 or 40 mph and just stomp 5th to the ground. If your RPMs climb faster then your speed then your clutch is slipping.

Your clutch is probably gone. When you cruise on the freeway, floor the pedal. If the car just revs up without going faster then that's your problem.
