Joyriding

Thursday, 28th June 2007 by

Judging by the tracks left by this car on a baseball field, it would seem that Washington D.C.’s youth like to liven up their evenings with a spot of light joyriding. Actually on closer inspection it would appear that after performing a large number of doughnuts, these joyriders have (as is traditional), set this car on fire and buggered off sharpish. Thanks to Frank at the GEarth Blog, via DCist.com.
