Bored.. Want some stuff to read, tell bout some run ins with police

 

Too many stories, not enough patience to type.
Just added 1 more last Friday at our gtg.
Come to our next gtg and I'll share 2 or 20 of them.
Of course they aren't crazy pleasetakeawaymylicense stories like Eric has.

 

Oh man I've had quite a few.

My favorite to date was a nice starry night ~2AM, T-Tops off.

I'm blazing through this nice new 2-lane on ramp at around ~110MPH, my panhard bar came loose and dropped down, turning night into day.

Quite the little spark show, so needless to say I pulled over on the next exit.

I get out, get under my car and let out a few four-letter words.

I then proceed to grab my toolbox and right when I get back under the 'ROC to put the bar back up with bailing wire, good 'ol Kojak pulls behind me.

He gets out (I'm still under my car, holding up the panhard bar) and says,

"You know I could write you a ticket for an unsafe vehicle. Doesn't that thing keep you're rearend from shifting around?"

I reply,

"I'm not going to sit here and debate what every part on my car does with you. If we weren't chit-chatting, I'd have this fixed already."

He says,

"You got some attitude there son, but a nice Camaro"

Then he got in his car and left.

What gets me is how he didn't even offer me help. Then I'm the one with the attitude

 

lol, that's funny Vin, at least he was kind of cool and left you alone.

 

I get hassled because my car is loud as f*ck.. but that's about it. Get tailed alot because I look like a drug dealer too.

 

An old friend and I were driving down the road here in Tahoe and all of a sudden there were 3 cop cars behind us.We pulled over and they surrounded us with guns drawn and yelling for us to put our hands out the window.When we were approached the officer,which we worked with at the time,saw who we were and said that there was a bank robbery and the get away car was just like the one we were in,85 Audi quattro and that it was 2 young guys.It was kinda scary at first but we laughed afterwords.

 

My boss bought one of the first S2000's available on the east coast. He loved that car. In fact, he pulled his back badly washing it on a Sunday. The following day, he drove the car to the airport and flew out to our company's headquarters in CA (where I currently work). During the flight out, his back went into total spasm. It was so bad he couldn't even walk. When he returned home his wife had to pick him up and he left the car in long term parking at 20 bucks a day.

After a week, he was still laid up. Being the generous and thoughtful employee that I was and seeing how I lived in the same hood, I volunteered to pick the car up and bring it home after home. He thought this was a great idea.



So I left work early to pick the car up. Never drove a motorcycle with 4 wheels but that is about what it was. So light. Posi on the rear. Great horsepower to weight ratio and loud as hell over 5K RPM's (redline was at 10K or some crap).

Anyway, on the way home from town in the Virginia back country of Ablemarle and Fluvanna counties, I hammered on the car. Picture the scene where Ferris and Cameron drop the Ferrari 250 GT off at the valet parking garage at the baseball game.

I caught air.

I passed people in triple digits.

A couple simply insane passes on two lane roads.

Then I pulled the car into his driveway and dropped the keys off to him at the door. He had just taken 2-3 muscle relaxers and was drooling when he delivered his appreciatation to me. I went home.

Afterward, about an hour later, I get a call from him screaming at me (he was my boss' boss).

"Which way did you drive to bring the car home?!?

"How did you drive the car?!?"

I'm thinking. "All ways home and HARD." Didn't say that. All I could manager was, "Why?"

It turns out I passed an old lady in a Lincoln or some crap and she called her brother who was a Fluvanna Co. Sheriff. He tracked the license to my bosses address in the sticks and paid him a visit.

So here is the scene: Sheriff's vehicle parked in front of my bosses house with lights on. The sheriff knocks on the door and my boss hobbles to the door stoned on pills and drooling. The sheriff accuses him of driving wrecklesssly and being a public menace and then accuses him of DWI.

My boss musta have gone apesh*t on him knowing full well it was me but without giving me up. He told the cop to take a hike unless he had solid evidence that there was a crime or that he could prove anything that he had just said. Then he threatened the cop with a slander suit!

Later on, and after I was done being toyed with by bossman, he admitted it he thought it was funny. We were both shocked at the nerve of the cops coming to knock on someone's door to deliver a ticket.

Oh... I've also been pulled over 35 times for various things. All of these pulls with maybe one exception resulted in a ticket. Mainly speeding. The last ticket I got was over 6 years ago and in Georgia.

Been lucky I guess.

 

hahahahahaha, yeah I know how you feel I've taken more than one cop on a tour of del paso heights

 

lol.

 

Cadillac, that's a funny and crazy story. You are lucky, good thing your boss was so understanding and defended you.

 

same here.

always happens at the same spot it seems, the police station by oak park... i go through the light, and a cop turns onto the street behind me 75% of the time.

never used to happen when I was driving the 88 chevy nova (toyota corolla with a bowtie on the front) around though.

if it happens to you in dph, don't even bother going into west sac... it's even worse. i remember my dad asked a cop that was parked outside the liquor store for directions once and it ended up with his entire truck being ripped apart.

 

LOL Mike

If I was your boss (and I liked S2Ks) I probably woulda shot you

 

 

wow i cant believe your boss let you go....


i got too many run aways from the cops wonder if ill ever slow down

scariest times have been lately

3 times this month i better slow down

 

Mike your one crazy dude hahahaha. The S2000 handles good huh? You got lucky with the cop thing though.

 

Not crazy any more (I hope). Just with other people's cars.



Drove a 350 Z convertible last night. Unbelievable cornering. Nice automatic top. Computer screen with GPS integrated in the dash.

~sigh~

No cops.

 

Yeah I've driven a couple. They're nice cars, lacking in the acceleration department though. Sucks they come so tuned out of the factory, that full bolt-ons only nets you 10-15 to the wheels.

Have to boost them to get anywhere.

 

Parts are much more expensive too. Give me a GM anyday.

 

all my pull overs suck, but mental note to me, dont let caddy drive my car.

 

Bad Caddy Bad!

I have a few "no pull over" stories as well.

One time I breezed past a Clown Vic on the interstate going way too fast and I just blacked out and kept on going.

Another incident having a black car pays off!

 

Nice job Vin.

 

I do my best!

No need for a 100+ ticket that night :whew:

 

I've never had any high speed run in's like that.. not to say I havn't driven my car fast, just never passed a cop.

Just the other night me and my friends (one of them is 3.492rs on this board) were messing around with some chicks (some of them were hammered we think) on pinole valley rd., and with mike in his truck, I passed mike and came up along side the chicks. I dropped it to second (doing like 40) and hammered it down. Shocked the hell out of them with straight pipes

As I was coming back towards mike's street I saw a cop car duck into a grocery store to make a U-turn and probably come after me, so I ran up to mikes house and parked hella quick lol.

We were dicking with them because they kept driving in circles around in mike's work, and it was obvious they were asking to be messed with lol.

 

Here's to hoping you never have to experience "IROC Zen" and slice through the freeway @2AM with no lights on.

It's like a bunch of red trails and flashing lights all disappearing and appearing rapidly.

One thing disappeared in my rearview though.

 

I've done something like that

I was racing some thirdgen and a cop was coming in the opposite direction we passed him doing 100+mph on the street and I could see him hit a U-turn and his lights where on lucky I was at the street I needed to get to my house so I hit the corner doing about 80mph(not a 90* corner its a long curve) hit the lights and I got up to about 130mph. my car is white but the street was dark with about a dim light every 1/4 mile

 

I knew I wasn't the only one with a MetallicA "Hit the Lights" moment

 

Ya, I think we all have hit the lights before, lol. Nice job Terrell, pays to have a thirdgen cause you can out handle the cops, and sometimes out run them altogether, lol.
