teenage drivers= fail

Yesterday evening I went out for a 2.5 mile ride in the neighborhood instead of the golf course. I did some investigating as well as sending Rick to scout out the location and we determined that we can't really ride there when they're open :( We're going to try and sneak in rides early in the morning once things warm up a bit... or maybe we'll invest in some bright headlights and go for night rides :)

Interesting event during my ride: 
I'm riding along our street, just having started, when I hear "Screeeeeeech...BAM!" coming from the next street over. I knew someone had just crashed their car. I rode as fast as I could to where the sound came from, expecting blood. I arrived on the scene to find three or four young African American females getting out of a Dodge Charger. They had smashed into a stop sign (flattened and disconnected the whole thing!) and ended up in someone's front lawn when carelessly trying to take a corner. They quickly inspected the car, which already had a donut on the back, then jumped back in to escape the scene. Their front wheels were all mis-aligned as they scooted away. I was so appalled, as was the homeowner and another witness. I did a quick memorization of their plate and called it in to the Graham police. I got home and told  Rick about it and he said he had spotted the same car driving recklessly about 30 minutes earlier when he was checking out the golf course :( I really hope the cops found those stupid girls and arrested the driver for leaving the scene of an accident and destruction of a traffic sign. 

Here's where it happened:
