Your dumbest thing youve done in your car...in front of a cop?

[SVT32VDOHC]

When I was younger, in 2003, I got in a fight at this college house and left. I was so mad I jumped up and punched a stop sign, downtown E. Lansing. Well, there were about 5 cops across the street just staring at me. Boy, did I feel like a fucking moron. But, I didn't get into trouble for it. Luckly. Because I was drunk. I was 21, and wasn't driving tho.

This past summer I was meeting up with some friends to hit Lapeer dragway. I had *just* got the Mustang a week earlier, so I was pretty stoked to FINALLY have a decent car.

Well, 9:30 in the morning, I'm putzing down 10 mile....get stopped at a light. For some dumb reason, I'm driving by myself and nobody is really around. I short-shift into second off the light and just lay the hammer down. Wind out 2nd and the grab 3rd and then lay off a bit. Well, the car that WAS behind me got over, and there just happened to be a Tahoe Oakland County Sheriff behind that car. :lol: He immediately flies up behind me as I'm waiting for another red light. As soon as the light trurns green, he flicked the lights on.

The officer asked what the hell I was doing and I really didn't have any answer for him outside of I know what I did was stupid. Asked where I was going and I was honest with him...asked for my license, insurance, and how my record was. He comes back not even a minute later and asks if he can check under the hood. :hugegrin: I climb out of the car and sit and BS with him about the car for a good 10 minutes. Then, he said he had a little time and asked if he could check out my friends' cars as well. He proceeds to back out into the road to let me out and followed me to the parking lot. When I pull into the lot, my buddies were cracking up thinking I was getting pulled over. I introduced them to my new best friend and we shot the shit in the lot for another 10 minutes or so. The officer told us to be careful and try to keep it on the track. Unbelievably cool police officer.

I was across the street from a wendys while I see a cop at the drive-thru window I pulled out of a parking lot sideways in front of him and came out after me, man he was pissed cause I don't think he got his food..

 

[SVT32VDOHC]

I forgot about the time when I took off at 16 mile and Gratiot like a bat outta hell in my old 96 Cobra with the Vortec. I didn't think anything of this Crown Vic two lanes over, 3 cars back because it was silver. Before I even got to 60, he soomed up on me with his lights on. It was a very tall, big state trooper. :scared: He gave me a pep talk then asked to see under my hood. He then told me he had a Mustang and let me go......I couldn't believe that!!!

First dumb thing I ever did when back in HS. I had an 85 S-10 with a 350 V8 and 4-barrel carb. It was a quick truck! Well driving somewhere with my girlfriend at the time and stopped at a light. Light turns green and I see the hood next to me jump so I got on it thinking I'm not gonna let this clown by me. My girlfriend punches me screaming "what are you doing? That's a cop!" Oops. :lol: Didn't pull me over, but scared the crap out of me.

Then a few years back I had to drop something off at my buddies house like 5 min away. The main road by me is 5 lanes and when it is clear is fun to get on it when turning onto the road and slide across the lanes. So I had a little fun in 1st, pulled 2nd & coasted to 5 over. All of the sudden these headlights come RACING up next to me. Oops, there was a cop back there that saw my little antics. They stared at me for a while and I turned off on the next street on the right hoping they wouldn't follow. Got lucky there. Whew!

more!?!?! shit we came out there every weekend towards the end of the year, but yes we will all be out there hugger orange camaro, red T/A, black cobra and joe and I.

gonna serve you an ass whooping first thing!!:flip:

I think I saw you guys out a bunch last year.

The dumbest thing I've done in my car is my exgirlfriend. No cops though.

:roll:

[pferd]

Was at the light on Groesbeck with another member from this site :secret: as we started a run. We apparently failed to notice cops at the gas station across the intersection. Shame on us, as we had two pairs of eyes in each car.

Being slower, haha, they got him right away, and pulled me over about a mile later. He got the funny cop, I got the pissed one, though we both got the same ticket. I can still remember Danny Dodge saying "just keep going!!!!"

 

[RedXtcy]

185 past a parked cop suv on 94

 

[ramman1984]

stole a mustang gt from a dealership and parked it next to the high school cop car

 

[boosted gt]

back in '01 or so i was in my '84 GT turbo mustang in the alley across from dunkin donuts on joy and tele and in a moment of retardness i dumped the clutch and did a huge burnout. i did not see the cop sitting in the alley behind the donut shop across from me(they sit there alot too). i got a ticket in front of everyone on a friday night lol

 

[Lunger]

Way way back in 1980. I used to work at a parts store in detroit.
I got off work ,going down a sidestreet, i decided to do a burnout at the stopsign. Rolls of smoke, covered the entire rear of the car, could not see out the back window . I back off and roll ever so slow thru the stopsign.
A detoit cop was right behind me , lol i never looked back . He pulls me over asked for my licence , " hey are you Nowak's kid. (my dad was a detroit cop) , he lets me go.

I thought great hehe i got off. Until i got home , he called my dad and told him, got my ass beat.

 

[slideways]

Well there are 2 of them I'd have to say are the dumbest things I did.

1st, probablly 4 years ago now i had a 96 camaro former v6 car with an lt1 swap, Was givin my buddy a ride thru town with it open headers on a friday probablly around 6 oclock. Pulled up to a traffic light and was bsin with a guy we knew to the right of us. Light turns green and i mat it thru the intersection boiling the tires off just killing the rev limiter (rember its open headers) as soon as i look over to my left there is a city cop just pulling off of the light coming the other direction. Whips it around and flips the lights on me. By this time I was probablly 1000ft infront of him, Ducked down a buch of side streets and eventually made it home back into the garage without making any real contact with the police.

2nd was last summer at one of our spots we hang out at. A few weeks prior at a party I had some kid was there talking about how badass his non turbo 300zx was and how it would waste anything. I told him id give him the benifit of the doubt and if he wanted a race he could run the gf's stock 2valve and he wanted to put money on it... Fast foward a week or two back at mobil where we hang out, kid is there and I try to make the race happen, he wont do it but tells me to race his buddies cam, intake, 5.0 car on slick and skinny's I tell him no way hes an idiot and he starts talkin a bunc of shit We were leaving anyways so I said fuck it and well run them out the expressway on my way home. Line up at the light make it thru 3rd gear and hes only out 3 cars on me (slug) i say fuck it and wind out 4th anyways just for fun.. Come over the top of the overpass at 115ish and there is a sherrif sitting in the turn around we use pointed right at us and flips the lights kid i was racing stopped i said fuck it and stayed in it 145-150ish down the eway to my exit and swiftly in to the garage.



Both of these were extremely stupid of me but at the time I didnt really think of that. if it were to happen again it would probablly end differently and I would just stop, but for some reason both times my natural reaction was to just keep going.

 

[kovacs32]

two summers ago i was heading back from dundee to milan after a parts run for work, even though my boss told me there is no rush to take my time, as i was driving north on Ann arbor road (runs parallel to US23) i get stuck behind a yellow school bus followed by 3 cars doin about 40 in a 45. So i cruise along patiently behind for a few mins then without ever checking behind me, i get over to pass 3 cars and a bus....well by the time i got past the bus and checked my rear mirror to make sure i could get back over i saw the Black sheriff car right on me, i look down and see that i am doing nearly 70mph!

So without even being lit up yet i pull over and start getting my papers out, when i realize the cop car just locks his brakes up and stops not even a foot behind my car, he jumps right out and storms up to my window (by this time i shitting myself) and he immediatly begins to start screaming at me "WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING??? ARE YOU A DAMND MORON!!?? DO YOU HAVE A LICK OF SENSE IN YOUR HEAD BY?!"

Now im just baffled and can barely mutter a word to him while im trying to hand him my info he continues to ream on me, he rips all my papers out of my hand and starts storming back to his patrol car, but halfway back to his car he turns around and storms back to me (Now im really pissin and shittin my pants big time!) and to my surprise he THROWS my info back at me in my car and yells "SLOW THE FUCK DOWN ASSHOLE" then he runs and jumps in his car, peels out in reverse for like 10 feet, then does a holeshot past me and proceeds to drive off like a bat out of hell.

So here i sit in my car thinking to myself "Am i in supertroopers 2 or somthing" I sat there for a good 5 minutes before i drove off and back to work and tell a buddy what happened, he tells me "Man you got lucky, they just got a call on the location of a murder in the area, thats probably where he was going when you decided to bust a dumb move in front of a school bus with him behind you!"

 

[CRASH]

About 5-6 years ago, I just got out of the military and came home looking to finally be able to enjoy my adult life. I lined up next to this Ford Lightning in Flint and we ran from a dig.

I jumped out at first, but then he passed me and was slowly pulling away so I shut down and got all the way over to the left to make a U-turn. Well unbeknownst to us, there was a cop lurking in the shadows on the other side of the road behind us waiting for someone to race.

Well, as I got over and preparing to turn, the guy in Lightning was still hauling all kinds of ass down the road and all of a sudden this cop fucking FLIES past me at 346634653 mph.

At this point I'm like hoooooooooly fuck I'm busted. People started screaming at me to get the fuck out of there, so I snuck out, got back on the highway, and did the speed limit home.

The guy in the Lightning? Let's just say that I'm glad I wasn't him.

:lol:

 

[benk]

118 in a 70 and was luck cause it would of been 145ish in a 70 if I would of passed him a little sooner down the road. Got let off.

 

[t-typex1]

Last summer michigan cruise me and t typex1 were in his car pullin onto mich ave when he decides to do a 300 foot burnout right next door to the wayne police dept,we were safe but a lil while later he decides to spank some mustang ass and blows past a wayne cop at around 100 plus booth cars got drag racing tickets,he sucked the judge off something major and got impeeding traffic instead. :finger:

LOL, I remember that:shake:
In my defense, nobody told me I was right in front of the police station:scared:
And, the cop was in an unmarked Expedition, across the street(median) when we went past.
Oh well, it all worked out:hugegrin:

Then again, that wasnt the dumbest thing Ive ever done in front of the policeoke:

 

[FlyLike]

I've done some stupid stuff but I'm not willing to post it up online, lmao.

 

[avbcon12]

took my friends ford festive through the pedestrian gate to the seaholm high school track (it was the only car that would fit through the gate) and raced like 4 laps around the track..... the cop was in the other parking lot watching the entire time with his lights off!

oh those were the days.....

 

[Pro Stock John]

Apparently I have a few:

-HS senior, blasted out of the parking lot of the convenience store I clerked out. I flew past two motorcycle cops going the opposite way. I tried to lose them. I did not.

Circa 1994, decided to do a nice launch off a light in my BBC Chevelle. Cop later asked me how I could not notice him sitting at the light. Only one ticket.

-Circa 1999, Mustang tailed me back when I had my 98 Camaro SS with boltons. I decided to show him my dust. I hit about 130mph on I94. Arrested by undercover statie in Mustang and two other squad cars.

-2008, friend with mid 10 second turbocharged WS6 asks me to get my Formula out, and go screw around. We kept hittin' it on Westen and then Peterson. One time when we were in it we flew past some cops sitting inside a Panera Bread. I called my buddy and told him I was going home... I didn't think there were too many red Formulas with a parachute on back driving around. We then got on the highway and did some highway roll racing... Car was in 10.0@139mph pump gas trim fwiw.

-2008, Guy asks to buy my 2000 white Z/28. He's coming down from Toronto ON. The day before I detail the car. On the way back to my house. I decide to launch off the trans brake on Irving Park a few blocks east of Western. At the top of second gear I pass cop sitting in Subway parking lot finish her lunch. For some crazy reason she did not show up at court. Dismissed. I was on slicks, expired plates, bullet mufflers dumped at the 9"... crazy.

 

[blackhawk2000]

My buddy was in front of me in his van. I was in my 79 Camaro. The Cop was 2 cars behind me. I did a massive burnout. The Cop was not very happy. He must have had a murder call, because he yelled at me. Poked me in the chest. Then told me how lucky I was, he had a more important call to go on.
