Exclamation How NOT to act at your car club, crash and burnout.

I'm not looking to get you hating these guys...so much as...I want us ALL to learn from it.
Everyone has done stupid stuff before...and this is obviously stupid to do. We don't need to slam this crew...just grow from watching this...ok?

Video--------------V

Yes stupid in that at least two of them have absolutely no car control. Maybe they should move down the horsepower ladder a bit and take some driving lessons. I'll take that Corvette off his hands.

As for the other guy I LOVE burnouts as much as the next gearhead, but it's not a good idea to smoke out the entire 3 or 4 lane highway when there is traffic.

It's sh!t like this that gives us car guys/girls a bad name.

Ok who is next to comment?

Don't hate?

What the hell kind of copout crap is that? WM Holden, I've respected your posts around here but this is effing stupid.

Let me clarify, I'm not holier than thou, I've done stupid stuff...but there's no lesson you're trying to teach anyone here. There's no moral. It's just showing off, then trying to put a fake ass message in there to keep from people telling the car club how blatantly retarded they were.

If you want to screw around with your cars, do it on a country backroad where you're the only that gets gets yourself hurt. God knows I've done my fair share...but that burnout on the highway that stopped traffic and the vette and last GTO are exactly why I couldn't drive my Supra down the highway without getting pulled over to be inspected.

This video is an epic fail.

I'll bet you are joking.

The endangerment is the problem...not the burnouts...God we love hp.

Look...there is TONS of hate already logged about this all over the net...
I'm just saying...lets focus on what we can learn from this and not continue the hate....use this in a constructive manner.

I myself have posted how absolutly wrong this behavior is.

But if we spout hate in this thread it will get LOCKED.

P.S. this is NOT my crew.

Ok, thanks for the clarification. However you can't expect people to not rag on them for pulling that crap...and like you said above, I would have been fist-pumping seeing those cars goof around and wouldn't have cared that they lost control if not for the innocent people trying to commute on the highway around them.

OK, not hating, but Wow. Morons.
I'm sure there had to be plenty of other places where they could have done burnouts other than an entrance lane to a busy freeway.

And how did they keep going on with it without the cops showing up? After the guy blanketed the highway and stopped traffic, not one of those cars had a cell phone to call the police? I bet they scattered after the wreck tho.

actually the wreck driver came back and made good...they are all very embarrassed and concur that it was less then responsible....and I should probably not even have brought this out....but if we influence one driver..it will be worth it.
