Those guys are knuckleheads. I hate to see a wreck and the damage, but they hopefully learned a valuable lesson...

I'll admit, I did that kind of thing a few times in my Firebird when I was 18. That was a long time ago, and I consider myself lucky that I didn't learn a lesson the hard way.

Pretty stupid what they did and more so in the street with pedestrians around. Lucky enough no one was hurt.

Ouch indeed! I'm not sure what the 'vette driver was thinking. It sounds like he was on the gas pretty hard before losing control...
