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

[mikesfastss]

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:

Well... most of my dumb stuff was/is on the bikes, not the car... I guess it was the time I was in the middle of about a 5 mile wheelie on I-94 near Harpos and I realized that there were lights flashing all around me (hard to see behind you when your mirrors are pointed at the ground). So I guess that was the dumbest thing I ever did in front of a cop. Well, that and the 5 minute chase that followed Got away clean though

Was that the night that you called me while hiding in the loading dock forever? hahahahahaha oke:

This summer, after my work golf league, my Australian partner wanted to see what the Holden could do. We lined up next to each other, he's got a rag top '07 Stang GT.

He looks over and tells me to let him know if I "see the boys in blue" in my best Australian accent. It was pretty much dusk, and we figure....ahh no cops in sight.

Light turns green and we both nail it, get to about 60 (in a 40) next to each other and realize the car pulling out of the Taco Bell drive right infront of us is a cop. We both nose dive, and the cop immediately slows down. I slow way down as the cop is in my lane at that point. My buddy dumps down as well, with no idea what to do @ 30, he decides he's going to pass the cop. I remaing crawling behind the cop, he makes the next right turn and we both continue on.

We think the cop never noticed us until the nose dives. At that point he had no idea what had happened. But anyways, he didn't stop either of us. How he didn't hear our peeling out, I have no idea.

I think I lost my meals for the day in my seat.

After that we agreed to no more shenanigans in the muscle cars on the way out. Up till then it had been a weekly occurrence.

raced a guy at plymouth and outer drive in my buddies mustang (cause he's 250lbs heavier then me) and got to the end and if anyone remembers it goes uphill at the finish line, well just as I'm crossing the cop comes down the hill as I'm goin up doin 125ish so once I passed him and was out of sight I got back on it and turned down one of the side streets and my buddy called me and said that he kept goin towards outer dr. to break up everyone hangin out instead. I think I shit my pants twice on that one. Met back up at joy and tele and bought myself a donut to calm down

i think the best one was not know ing it was a cop though, was in fraser before they made that purple trans am into a dare car. i raced officer/ now cheif Rohab from 14 and utica goin west..... yea... i knew he was a cop,,,,,,, other time i was on 696 and raced a centerline copcar, wasnt a cop driving but a teenager, maybe a porter but it was fun from 65 to 100

It was the first nice day of spring in 1998. I'm sitting at a light waiting to make a right turn. Light goes green, I start my turn, goose it a bit, get a LITTLE sideways. Didn't see the cop on the other side of the intersection. So he's behind me, I'm thinking "Oh shit". I pull into a Subway, he keeps going. Go inside, get a soda to celebrate, come back out, car won't start. Then I see the cop pulling in. My car is registered to a 1970 plate. Cop runs it, doesn't come up in his computer. He gets a screwdriver out of the squad car, takes the plate off mine, and tells me to walk home. So I walked across the street to Murrays, got the shit to fix my car, called my dad and told him to bring the other 1970 plate (I have a matched pair) and told him what happened. It took 2 weeks to get the damn plate back.
When he first pulled into the subway (the cop) he was pretty pissed because he had a domestic call right when he was about to "light me up" so he had to attend to that. Told me it was illegal for me to drive with a non correct plate and so on....

I used to get pulled over all the time for that damn plate because the numbers on it matched a blue plate registered to a 1984 Olds in Paw Paw Michigan. I finally went to the S.O.S. and told them what was going on. Now I have an official letter from some dude in Lansing I keep in the car at all times. I need to get it laminated because it's falling apart.

Oh and one time I never got pulled over but if Dropspeed sees this thread he can chime in. I raced an evo which I didn't know it was him at the time. We were on Woodward going over 3x the speed limit. I was almost off the limiter in 3rd. Dumbest thing I've ever done. Didn't get caught though, damn good race too.

Donuts at pine knob in the parking lot. :shake:

 

[AutoRoc]

Tried to get a Charger to bite on 696. I went full throttle next to him for a short 2-3 second blast seeing if he'd jump... he did not, but the cop RIGHT behind him got to hear my 4" Bullet exhaust, 5000 stall converter SBC at FULL wail... UNDER a bridge also... I was apologizing under my breath....haha Maybe he let me go because it sounds so good? haha hopefully thats it.

 

[Shadow X]

oh hell no im not incriminating myself



But i do have an embarrassing one

I was leaving metro beach in my 97 Z28 going to pic up this girl freind, and come back to the beach, An there were these chicks waiting at the light. (there were like 5 -6 of them) One girl goes "my mustang would kill that car! " I look at them and asked what she said? So she said it again, i laughed and said go get it and lets do something.

At this point the light turns green, i stumped it and at them moment the car got loud as hell (like it should ) but it was louder then normal, that's when i realized the hole damn exhaust came lose and was dragging. To this day i have no idea how the hell it came lose but the were shorty's and the nuts and washers were gone...

i felt like a douche canoe when they went by laughing there asses off..

Stupidest thing I have done infront of a cop is, I was almost out of gas in my old eclipse, so i rolled up to speed way and put 10$ in to make it to the gas station with race gas. Well pulling out of speedway I do a badass AWD launch the car spins through 1st, into 2nd, got the car into 3rd and let off. Well 2 seconds later I see a cop hauling ass behind me. Well come to find out he was right at the light when i did it, and i didnt see him. Thank god he was cool after I explain'd I was just having fun and got cought up in the moment. he lets me go.

Damn, yeah thats all you can do. If I'm being an idiot I will tell the cop just that. Because I know if I was in his shoes I wouldn't want to hear some bullshit, just the truth. I've done a lot of dumb shit and I've only gotten caught the one time which I started this thread with. Though I didn't renew my vanity plate and some cock sucker with a Corvette just happened to apply for it in the 3 month lapse I didn't renew it. So I got pulled over driving on a "stolen" plate. Impounded my car. It was a misdemeaner too. Ended up costing me well over $1,000 for that. The guy is on Xceedspeed. I just think its wierd he took my plate out of random. I'm wondering if he saw it before while I was driving because most people wouldn't just think of that plate. I still blame that day on that guy. My fault for not renewing, his fault because I want someone to blame for it. :lol:

While riding shotgun I thought I was Nolan Ryan (or Joel Zumaya for the younger crowd). A beer bottle was my baseball, the approaching intersection sign was the catcher's glove. I winged that bottle as hard as I could. . . and missed the sign. . . by a lot. . . it was pathetic. I could have cleared the St. Louis arch. The bottle cleared a business sign and seemed to be destined to impact an empty parking lot. Nope. It nailed the fender of a cop car sitting in a clever speed trap. We heard the bottle hit the car. We watched the cop go from stalking to hot pa'suit in <1 second. He rips out of the parking lot and proceeds to pull over the car that had just passed us heading in the opposite direction. There were only two cars on the road at that time.

I picked my Camaro up after it was painted (Maaco, all I could afford in HS), and decided to get it sideways onto Carpenter RD coming off of Stoney Creek. As soon as I straightened it out I noticed the cop. Our eyes met, but he never pulled me over. I think I drove 10 under the limit until I got to my buddies house. :lol:

Had a pretty good one in 86Jewels old 86 GT a few years back. Kovacs32 was in the backseat and I am pretty sure he remembers. I'll let either of them chime in, but a 351 through a c4 with a nice stall and 4 inch bullets isn't exactly quiet. :lol:

driving to a high school soccer game in my Jimmy I was following the bus when it ran the red light and I stopped. didnt know where I was so when the light dropped I nailed it got up to about 95ish when it hit the speed limiter and I saw the cop sitting in the church parking lot. look ahead yep 25MPH school zone, turn down the radio and imagine that the radar detector is screaming. I slowed down to 25 and he came hauling ass right up on top of me, pulled me over. comes up to the car and goes through the normal shenanigans then he asked me why my radar didn't work I had to explain how stupid I was for having the radio up to loud to hear it. after I explained the bus situation he actually let me go with a warning "Don't come to a town you don't know and fuck around!" lol I was 17 and was shaking so bad I almost dropped my id out the window, this was in monroe lol

Ahh Monroe cops don't like all that. Monroe, Trenton, Brownstown, etc. Brownstown has a Camaro..the license plate frame says "Smile, I could be behind you."
