Ok, so I'm driving up toward a red light at about 20 mph, and on my right is a little one way side street that goes across sorority row at my college. I'm all happy and content, listening to Sarina Paris, relaxing...when this idiot blond sorority girl in her brand new white Ford Mustang comes flying out of the side street, ignoring the stop sign, and *I thought* smacks into the side of my car. I'll explain the I thought later. So I'm freaking out...the car is maybe 10 days old now? I just Zaino'd it...ordered Solaris lights for it...blah blah blah...and now I'm already in a wreck (this will be the second that I've been in, the other also wasn't my fault). So, still in my car, I put it in park and motion to the girl to pull into the Jack-In-The-Box parking lot (for those that don't know, it's just another Burger King type chain) because we're in the middle of a VERY busy street where a lot of drunk college kids like to drive way too fast, and I just want to pull over to inspect the damage. So I start pulling in first, and look in my rearview mirror just in time to see her jerk her car into gear and go flying down the road.

Now I'm thinking, $hit...I'm screwed. This is really going to double my insurance rates. So what better than to go chase the stupid b1tch down. So I put it into sport shift and go flying after her. We get on IH-35, and my intent is to write down her liscence plate #. So I can call it in, saying she evaded police, and she can get royally screwed and I can get my car fixed without insurance going up. Soon I realize two thing: I don't have a pen or paper (and a bad memory), and we're going 120. I have a camera though, so I snap a couple zoomed in shots of her liscence plate. So I'm thinking, yeah I'm so going to get pulled over in a minute...so what the he11. I pull up in the lane next to her and snap a couple shots of her staring at me open mouthed.

That was my little first "race" story. I got home and looked at my car, and I guess I was just freaking out too much, because there wasn't a single mark on my car. It's a good thing too, because I left my camera out in the Texas sun, and the pictures came back today and you can't see crap. But even so, I thought it was pretty friggin cool of and experience

On the same day (this is all yesterday...Tues, Oct 9), maybe an hour later, a friend brings his computer to my place to fix it. He parks in my apartment complex's parking (for residents only) and when we come back out his car's gone. So we call the towing company and they have it. Now I'm sick as a dog, bronchitis and a 103 degree fever, plus I just almost got run into by a psycho blond girl, and had a high speed chase with her, so now I have to drive my friend a half hour away to get his d@mn car. So I'm in boxer shorts and an undershirt, and my girlfriend is in pajama pants/shirt, and so's my friend, and we all hop in my car, no shoes on, to go over there. I'm driving down the highway, listening to Ian Van Dahl now, and I look in my rearview mirror to see a cop tailing me. I could swear he saw me looking in my rearview mirror, because he cuts his lights on, horn, everything. I look down at my speedometer, I'm going 80 in a 65, not too big of a deal. So I pull over. Now, I'm sitting there, and the cop walks up. At this point I have made three crucial errors:
1) I didn't bring my driver's liscence, or any other idea whatsoever
2) I don't have my registration or anything, forgot to put it in my car
3) My radar detector is sitting right on my dash

Now, Texas cops REALLY dislike radar detectors. So my way around that was to incorporate a radar scanner/jammer into my computer-car setup. But I forgot to take the other detector out when I put the new one in. So I'm such a dead man. I'm sitting in my PJ's with two friends in a brand new car, with out of state plates, with no drivers' liscence, no insurance info, no registration, no cell phone, and a nice big radar detector sitting there. I believe he could have pulled me in for grand theft with no ID at all (pretty sure that's what they do over here).

The cop walks up, makes sure to flash the very bright flashlight in my face, which prompts me to cough into his face. He says "You in a hurry?" I was like "I'm sorry officer I know I was going 80 I didn't even realize it this is a new car and I'm just not used to it yet I've had an SUV for years and..." so I'm babbling like an idiot. He says "Actually I had to go 110 just to keep up with you". Now I know that's a crock, but I just don't say anything. Texas cops have this thing where, if they didn't clock you (which they have to to give you a ticket unless you're going so fast it's obvious) then what they'll do is lie to you. They hope that you'll say "Oh no, I was only going 100" then they'll drag you in because that was 25 or more over. Since I said 80, that was only 15 over, and he couldn't do much. So he waited for a minute for me to say something, and I didn't...so he said "Yeah you just slow down, ok?" and left. So I just about passed out. Ah but it's not over. He decided to follow me all the way to the turn off of the towing place. The street before I turned off I accidentally ran the red light, and I could have sworn he started to slow down to get alongside me but then I turned off and burned my ass down the side road to the towing place.

My day was so friggin bad I know it sounds like I'm making this all up, but I swear that this was the worst day for driving in my life. Thought you guys would get a kick out of all this.

Ok let me see if I can summarize your stories:

First story:
1. Idiot blond "smacks" into you
2. You pulled over
3. She takes off
4. You chase after her
5. Have no pen or paper w/bad memory
6. Taking a pic at 120 mph
7. Find out there was nothing wrong with your car

Second story:
1. Same day, 1 hour later
2. Friend's car got towed at your place
3. You are sick as a dog
4. GF in pajama pant/shirt with a friend
5. Speeding with no license, reg, and a radar detector
6. Cop pulls you over
7. Cop lies to you to trick you
8. You stay quiet
9. He let's you off
10. You left and ran a red light with the SAME cop following you
11. He doesn't pull you over because you turned the corner and took off

Hmmm......let's see now. Either you are the luckiest guy on this planet or you are the luckiest guy on this planet. You got away from things that would've put someone in jail for a very long time plus having your car confiscated. Better go buy your lottery ticket now.
Had to be a Texas cop. You pulled that stunt over here in the northeast, your a$$ will be in jail before you can say anything.
BTW, you are not the smartest guy out there, huh?

 

I was waiting for you to tell us that you just woke up especially with that fever thing: hallucinating!

What a day. Lucky guy. Lucky guy....

 

How could you possibly say that this was the worst day of your life?!?!?!?! You were definately lucky! Taking pix at 120mph!!! going over the speed limit! Running a red! Over here you definately would've gotten a ticket for doing 15 over!

I'll reiterate, yesterday was your lucky day!

 

I live in San Antonio for over 17 years. Your story(s) is full of it.

 

" So I'm in boxer shorts and an undershirt, and my girlfriend is in pajama pants/shirt, and so's my friend, and we all hop in my car, no shoes on, to go over there"

My question, why were all three of you dressed in boxers/pyjamas?? I though your friend only brought his PC over to get it fixed? I can believe the other stuff, but also no shoes?? Man, that Texas ground is way too hot for bare feet...

 

I guess I was sort of stupid to say it was a pretty friggin cool experience...I should really have said "pretty friggin scary"...it was only cool to know that my car could do that well...considering I used to drive a 96 explorer that couldn't get above 114 mph.

Blackshadow:
Uh, thanks...not really

rockinTLS:
no kidding...that was the point

Kensteele:
I didn't post for you to call me a liar that's stupid. I could really care less whether you believe me or not...but if you don'ty believe me, don't post, it's not productive. I don't really have a reason to lie, and I don't make up stories...this was the craziest thing that's happened to me, ever. It was on IH 35 from 26th street to the 183 exit that I chased her around. And the cop pulled me over later that night up above the 183 exit. Oh and San Antonio is not Austin.

speed:
It was my worst day because I had to chase the girl to get her liscence plate down, and because I got pulled over by the cop later. It scared the crap out of me, both things, and I don't ever want to do either again...

hooked2TL:
Yeah, my friend brought his PC over...he lives 6 blocks away...so he drove over so he didn't have to carry it. But we all go around in pajamas...I go to some of my classes in them (not boxers...long pajama pants), and it's not like we were all going out to a nice restaurant. My girlfriend was wearing pajama pants and a t shirt...and as for the no shoes. As for the no shoes, this was all late afternoon after class...about 6:30 ish for the mustang girl and 7:30 for the cop pulling us over...so it was already getting somewhat dark. Also it's only 70 degrees here in Austin now...

Austin519

 

Also, I guess I shouldn't have posted at all...seeing as how people here like to jump on users all the time and b1tch them out for sharing stories...I guess I'm just used to forums where the users either say "cool" or nothing at all
Shame on you

Austin519

 

Austin519, that's quite a story. Like the Texan cop says, slow down a little, eh?

 

Austin im pullin the cord on your punk a$$ stories, hey why dont you snap a pizzy picture your stock black tL-s for us playboy...Oh yea, im sure you dont have access to a digi...LOSER ...Shyne

 

I was behind a woman pulling up to a stop sign once, and she braked really REALLY hard. Next thing I know she steps out of the car screaming at me... "what the **** are you doing?" she screams. She was soooo hammered that she thought I had rear ended her because she braked so hard! My wife and I just looked at each other and cracked up.

 

Shyne:
to you too. I actually don't have a digital camera...but I do have a regular camera. I took a bunch of pictures for before and after I Zaino'd it...and I'll scan them for your b1tch ass as soon as I can =P. So you're saying I don't even have the CAR?!? Geez...what you guys will think up. So I've made like 70 something posts without even having the car? Asking about upgrading my CAI, rims, SC, etc? Yeah that makes sense...

And I'm a Playboy now too? Riiiight, because I couldn't pay for my own insurance if she had pulled a hit-and-run on me and I had to report it, so I had to chase after her...sounds like a Playboy to me lemme tell you shyne...=PP

Austin519

 

dude I honestly just dont know and truely dont give a f^ck if you are telling the truth or not...all im saying is if you are posing to be a player, ballin with a 2002 TLS and all those mods, then you would not let some bit@h get away from hittin your stupid a$$, get real...you expect me and everybody else to believe your dumb a$$ story, how dumb do you think I am??? sounds like you made it up, "just zaino'd my car", real convenient... and who are you calling bit@h a$$, you nasty lookin gorilla...when I take I $hit, its like lookin at your whole family portrait trick... dont come with no games bit@h because you will get beat at this...Shyne

 

Wow Shyne, you sound like the other 10 yr old newbie SERVINN that was being a little immature brat in another thread I was posting to. And I'm not posing to be a player...where the he11 did I say that?!?!? My car is going to be a demo car in IASCA tournaments...and I haven't yet done ANY of those mods...I will be doing them over the next months as I get money. And if you actually read my post you pr1ck you'd realize that she didn't actually HIT my car, but I thought she did, which is why I chased her and took pictures...and when I finally stopped chasing her I realized that she hadn't hit my car. Maybe before you go off acting like an ass you should read first eh? And note that I didn't let her get away. Geez, that's pathetic.

I just Zaino'd my car because I just got it a week and a half ago, and I wanted to go ahead and Zaino it to protect it ASAP. And I'm not "ballin' " either...but from your ghetto talk I bet you try to, ugh. Anyway, answering a little brat like you isn't worth my time, so this'll be it. I do like what you've done acting all ghetto and tough and yet immature and bratty at the same time...looks real good on you,

Austin519

 

LOL... you guys kill me...



Now STFU you noobies!

 

Well put Shyne

I really dont like to judge peoples stories but some of the things you post sound shady. How do you "think" someone hit you? I was stopped at a light once and when the light turned green he started moving before me and tapped my on the bumper and i felt it.
Some of the posts lately dont make sense.

 

Nate:
You think you're so cool because it says pimp under your name eh

NBP TL:
I've only been in one car wreck, and my Explorer was tipped up on two wheels...but I've never been just bumped hard. So when I was cruising along and slammed on my brakes, as well as jerking the crap out of my wheel...when my car settled it felt like I had been bumped, I was pretty freaked too. Of course you would feel it if you were stopped at a light and someone tipped your bumper...but would you have felt the same bump if you had slammed on your brakes going 20-30 and jerked your wheel as hard left as you could have? I doubt it. I didn't think she had slammed into me, but just scraped my car all the way down.

Austin519

 

Austin519, post your pics and shut em up, or shut up yurself. They are calling your bluff.. put up or fold.

 

I will tell you how you can think you got hit but didnt. Try going 45 in the left hand lane down a 4 lane road and have some lady make a right hand turn directly at you. Thats right, she cut across 3 open lanes to get into my lane. Well instead letting her t-bone my a$$ going 45 and killing me. I evaded her by, what must of been inches, by jumping a 6 or 8 inch medium. All heard was thump-thump when I pancaked my front wheel and again when my transmission pan and catalytic converters smashed into the edge of the curb. All I know is one instant Im driving down the road and next sparks are flying over my hood and Im flying (literally) into oncoming traffic. The lady off course doesnt even hit her brakes yet alone stop to see if Im okay and take responsibility for running me off the road. At the time I had absoulutely no idea if she hit me or not. And yes I had to chase her sorry a$$ down. Luckily (I guess?) this happened in my last car and not my TL.

 

Easy on him, fellas! I like STORY TIME!!!

2001TL4KC:
Agreed, I'll get the pics developed at Eckerd's tomorrow and scanned it at Kinko's

Austin519

 

Damn a computer nerd like you doesnt have a scanner either, WTF...You better not take any pictures from the dealership, saying some stupid $hit like, this is my car when I first bought it at the dealer...Shyne

 

What the F**K is BPU anyway? We ain't driving no Supra so don't put BPU on your damn sig. And please don't put when you DON'T have on your sig. I agree with Shyne completely!

 

Shyne:
Computer "nerd" yes, RICH computer nerd...no. Sorry I don't have all the cash you do.

Don:
If you knew anything you'd know a BPU is a Basic Performance Upgrade...it's a common term, and it's not just for Supra's...and I'll put what I want on my sig <bow>, heh and definitely not listen to a guy who doesn't even know what a BPU is geez. You need some proof reading too, but I assume "And please don't put when you DON'T have on your sig." meant "And please don't put what you DON'T have on your sig." In which case you agree with Shyne huh? Even though his Sig shows what mine shows...namely future mods? Notice I haven't put any mods in the blank on my profile that says MODS!, where you are supposed to put your mods...because I don't HAVE any yet...but that's where they'll go one by one when I get them. Aside from proof reading you may want to read too...just a suggestion...it at least wouldn't make you look so stupid when you post...

Geez...are you guys just bored and like to pick on people? How pathetic...you'll get your pictures tomorrow Shyne.

Austin519

 

Let me know when ya got your sound system in place. I would love to take a sneak peek of any pictures you might have.

 

patrick:
I sure will man...this forum will be the first place I post them. And the sound system is the first thing I'll be focusing on...as I already have all the parts so I don't need more $$$. I'll let you know

Austin519

 

Hey shyne, here are the pics, albeit crappy ones because they're scans of a 35mm, of my car out in front of my place.

http://members.aol.com/austin519/collage.jpg

Oh but let me guess, this isn't my car, it's someone else's. So in reality, I can't win. The only way to prove it to you is to drive the d@mn car out right? I can't wait to hear it because I know you'll say it.

patrick...you can look too. The car is stock though, but I'll let you know once I start the major tear apart installations.

Austin519

 

Can't wait for you to get a kit and try to park like that. :p

 

Hee hee hee Nate :p

That's why I'm going to try to not ever get one! Or at least not anytime soon.

Austin519

 

how come ur car doesn't even got a license plate on??

 

a little off topic comment here, but i can tell ur a euro/freestyle dance music fan. sarina paris and Ian Van Dahl rule! lol, just thought i'd comment on that....

 

130hp:
Heh, heck yeah man...I love that stuff...I did a little mixing...figured out I sucked at it...so now I just try to find stuff that other people mix well...right now I just got ahold of Gigi D'Agostino "I'll Fly With You", and am listening to ATC (they dance really cool in their music videos too ). Obviously if you know obscure names like that 130hp then you like that kinda stuff to...in which case you have any other good groups/singers? A few of my British friends listen to this stuff all the time...I just never get to talk to em so I don't hear about any new stuff. What do you listen to??? I'm dying for new stuff . Nice to find someone with my tastes finally :p
Austin519

 

Ah, I forgot to put a note in here...Shyne and I have made up...he's decided to stop calling me a liar and I've stopped saying naughty things about him on the board heh heh. I guess the pictures I posted did it. Glad that's over with

Oh and Nate, I've been working on my parking...I'm much better now...you just gotta understand man I've had an SUV for my whole driving career...it's hard to switch over!

Cool...I'll check it all out. Thanks man . Any of this stuff new? Some of it sounds kinda old...and my AIM name is Austin519 Look for me

Austin519

 

I park like that all the time (everyday at work). That's why I opted not to lower it so I still could and not be too worried about tearing up my front lip everytime I park. I could live with the wheel gap...for now.

 

Well, I can't decide if it's the best or worst day of youre life...looks good to me tho!

I'm still in SA! Been here for all of my 24 yrs.! Cops just don't let you off like that! Hmmmmm ...... Do I smell fish?

BTW ... Austin519..... gimme a PM. I have a cousin in Austin going to ACC. I've been wanting to visit him. Probably will pretty soon. Maybe we can meet up. South Texas TL meet?????

 

SybaraticOne:
"I'm still in SA! Been here for all of my 24 yrs.! Cops just don't let you off like that! Hmmmmm ...... Do I smell fish?"

You don't smell fish unless you're at a fish market...talked to my friend Derek about it. He's 20 and has lived in Austin his whole life...as has his whole family. He says cops have pulled that on him 4 times on 35...they thought he was speeding but didn't clock him. So they pulled him over and said what they said to me. He's gotten out of it every time because he wasn't speeding much and they didn't clock him. I guess you'd just have to be in Austin to know, cops must be different in San Antonio...noting kensteele's *****y comment...

And yeah man I'd be all about a Texas meet...south Texas would be great...I just want to finish my computer and stereo install...put my CAI in, put nitrous in, get lighter rims, Pirellis, and some better brake pads/lines. Then we can have a go at it but let me know...my email is Austin519@aol.com.
