Thing I'll Never Do (Again) #203: Illegal Street Racing

Now, that's a drive down the fairway...(too soon?)

PGA non-star Arjun Atwal was involved in a wreck that killed a man with whom he was engaged in an illegal street race. His friend's Mercedes spun out and hit a tree, but Atwal swerved and his 2006 BMW M3 spun out onto a grassy lot, safely coming to a stop a few hundred feet away...

  • ...Atwal's not a long hitter, but he can really drive.
  • ...The sacred cow Atwal swerved to avoid reportedly survived.
  • ...no word on whether Atwal was in fact speeding home to hit the toilet after downing a hot curry dish at The Bombay Kitchen in Orlando.
  • ...TOO SOON!!! I know, I know...

Seriously, folks, he could be in deep legal doo-doo as street racing is illegal EVERYWHERE ON EARTH!

Daniel Chopra, who grew up with Atwal in India, (though Chopra is Swedish), stood up for his boy, saying he was "An excellent driver."

Well, so was Rain Man, at least he got an Oscar nomination! All Atwal got was a tie for 4th at the 2005 Buick Invitational.

Tip your waitress. Try the lobster. I'm here all week.

Oh, I almost forgot, Mark Calccchavecchia's reanimated corpse won the PODS Championship. Really? This guy must be purhing 60, 300 and .18 simultaneously... (Years, pounds and B.A.C., respectively). Truly amazing. Oh, and DiMarco choked.
