Atlanta car clubs go full retard



Quote:
Supervisors with the Georgia State Patrol and the Atlanta Police Department have confirmed they are now reviewing a YouTube video showing drivers blocking part of a local interstate to spin donuts with their cars.

...

It happened last week along Interstate 285 in southeast Atlanta, just north of the Forest Park Road overpass.

...

"Of course it was dangerous, that's why I was on the side," laughed Cali Floyd.

He recorded the video on his cell phone, as the drivers of a red Pontiac, a newer model navy blue Camaro and a white Firebird convertible, spun repeatedly across all of the northbound travel lanes.

Floyd said the donuts were a spontaneous tribute to a friend who worked on show cars and died in a car crash. The drivers joined dozens of others from various car clubs across Atlanta. They blocked the flow of traffic in each lane simultaneously.

...

Floyd said it won't happen again, at least not with him holding the camera. As of Tuesday afternoon, his YouTube video setting was changed to "private."

At the end of the video, dozens of cars can be seen stopped on I-285, waiting for the donuts to end. Fleischer asked Floyd about the drivers who were stuck in the traffic.

"All I can say is, I apologize," Floyd replied.

There's much better ways to commemorate a fallen friend, this was one of the dumbest.
