A group in Dalton, Georgia, hit the road Saturday aiming to spread confederate pride, but it looks like insurance rates will be the only thing rising for some of those involved.

In a video caught by a local, the parade of trucks with the stars and bars, sometimes along side the American or the gadsden flag, is made up of dozens of vehicles speeding down a rural Georgia road.

The man whose filming provides commentary, wondering what would happen if he and his Black friends tried to do the same. “These motha-fucka’s is crazy,” says the cameraman. “This is bull shit.”

You’ll notice the roads were blocked off by police to help clear the way, but it seems a stop for a train couldn’t save them from inertia.

Check out the video below:
