Usually, a street takeover has cars like Camaros, Challengers, Musangs, Infinitis, etc. But one held on I-75 (Alligator Alley) in Collier County involved expensive exotics like a Porsche 911 GT3 RS and a Ferrari SF90. That’s right, a bunch of rich Florida men decided to block off an interstate and mimic the poors.

Who do you think caused this accident?

While they weren’t crashing into each other’s cars that cost as much as houses, the 911 GT3 was caught on camera doing donuts while the other drivers watched. These guys were pretty thorough in executing the takeover, parking five full-size SUVS on the interstate so all the lanes of traffic and the shoulders were blocked.

They also had a low-flying helicopter overhead, apparently taking video. That’s a whole lot more sophisticated than having your buddy use his crappy phone to film you drifting in an intersection. We guess they were going to later share the incriminating footage on Instagram.

Florida Highway Patrol was alerted to the street takeover event and troopers were enroute to it when they spotted a group of over 25 exotic sports cars driving north on Alligator Alley at a high rate of speed.

A Ferrari SF90 was leading the pack, going 148 mph, which is like a brisk jog for the supercar. A trooper pulled it over, the whole thing recorded on his dashcam we swear must be a potato. Usually FHP has clearer footage, so we’re not sure what to make of that.

Troopers also tracked down and impounded the green Porsche 911 GT3 RS that was doing donuts on the interstate. They observed a blue Porsche 911 making an illegal U-turn after that event was broken up, pulled it over, and found it wasn’t even registered, so it was also impounded.

Here’s our question: with all the money these guys have, couldn’t they afford to rent a facility where they could legally perform these shenanigans? We all know the answer, so this was obviously done for the same reason kids do it: the thrill of breaking the law.
