BELLEVUE, Wash. -- A pair of wannabe stunt drivers video taping their own reckless driving to post on YouTube ended up with a trip to jail instead of Internet fame.
In the video, the two men are trying to record themselves 'drifting,' by making a series of hard, fast turns in which the rear of the car slides through a turn.
Their biggest mistake, though, was recording the video early Monday in an empty parking lot right next to the State Patrol office in Bellevue.
"You'd think if you were going to drive like that, you don't want to do it right next to our office," said Trooper Jeff Merrill. "The trooper didn't have far to go to make these arrests."
Merrill said the two men borrowed the car from a Bellevue dealership where they both work.
And evidence won't be much of an issue, since troopers confiscated the tape the men used to record the incident.
On the tape you can hear the men narrate as they try to whip the car around in the parking lot.
"We're in an Infiniti G35, also known as a Nissan Skyline," one of the men says while recording. "I think at some point you should let me out of the car so we can get car footage as well."
The last frames of the video even show the trooper's patrol car pulling into view.
"I'm going sh***, cop up here!" one of the men says before the recording stops.
The driver was booked for investigation of reckless driving and malicious mischief. The other man was booked for investigation of malicious mischief.
The car dealership has fired both employees.
Lame...
