Today my friends and i were all leaving campus to go eat lunch. Usually there is someone at the gate to make sure you are a senior and they will open the gate. Well today 5 of my friends 5 cars were all waiting for someone to let us out after 15 mins someone finally opens the gate and leaves. We all are ready to go eat. So here i am spur of the moment i floor it turning on to the what i thought was an empty road got completely sideways tires screaming and there was a cop sitting on the other side of the tree. Imidatly he turned his lights on i kept my hands on the wheel and waiting thinkin about how stupid i am he comes up asks for my drivers licesnse luckly i know him and he had let me go i told him it was a new car appologized and i was off to lunch

Close call Again
 
Happened to a friend years ago. BB 69 Camaro, just finished rebuild/repaint. Put it sideways around a corner, noticed the cop car he passed in the intersection and just pulled it over and waited. OWNED! I was in the passenger seat and it was all I could do to keep a straight face. Same sort of outcome. Seems like the boys in blue do appreciate a muscle car, even one of them Chebbies and if you show a little regret, they'll go easy on you.
 
That wont happen again amzchad,8)
Keep it neat on the streets young gun:-D, I know it's hard some time's but it look's so cool to see some one respect the roads and the folks that are driving on them.
Show your strength with your smart move's "more babes to"=P~ Glad you did not have to shell out for a ticket.
So save those move's for the track if you can.:cheers:
 
no tracks around here hahah it was a safe place i just got caught thats one thing i do do if im gonna do something stupid im not gonna do it with someone else in the car or do it if there are other cars, people, or trees around
 
Been there, done that. Happened to us all when we were young. You got lucky you knew the cop and didn't get a ticket or two.
 
From one young gun to another... dont be stupid! You're lucky you knew the guy, lol.
 
Well chock it up to a lesson learned young man :-D

I set my line-loc and proceeded to roll smoke at a light and then the smoke was blue. Yep, 5-0h, after the smoke cleared I pulled over and learned what "an improper start" was.

That one cost me!
 
not a bad idea just one with a cop there its fun

Yes actually VERY bad idea. One of my buddies put his car in a ditch because he didnt have the car straightened out before he got on it. You better learn to control that foot before you build a bigger/more powerful engine. I'm not tryin to sound like a parent or anything because I hate when people do that.... but never floor it while turning, bad things happen. And you can ignore me and keep doing it, but one time its gunna bite ya right in the as*... and it only takes one time to ruin the car you put so much money and work into or worse, hurt yourself or somebody else.
 
My first ticket was in my 73 'cuda right after I got my licence. 63 in a 20 and I was just going for 3rd when I looked over and saw mr blue sitting in a church parking lot. He wasn't too happy when he got to me. As for nailing it around a corner I though the same as you when I was your age, that is why the 'cuda is no longer. Once they get away from you it's hard to pull them back in and 50 yards up the road a fire hydrant decided to latch on to the rear wheel and ripped the frame out from under it. Got a ticket for that one also.

I'd daresay that losing that Cuda is one of those life lessons learned. Tickets get paid and time helps to heal your driving record, but you seem to always regret losing the car. Hope you did'nt have an injury story to go along with this. It's always fun and games till someone gets hurt.

Wound up with a bump on the head so that was a good thing. Still regret not fixing the 'cuda. I have alot more work in to the 68 then I ever would have in tthe 'cuda but when you were 16 and making $3 and hour working part time the $$$$ to fix it seemed out of reach. I still have the front buckets so something lives on.
 
A ticket can cost you. And so can your insurance when they find out. Nothing sounds and looks more stupid than squealing tires on the street. When I was young I thought squealing tires and going sideways was sooooooooo cool. I'm 42 now and trust me, nothing makes me think @$$hole more than some young punk spinning their tires on the street.

Now that we got that outta the way, here's what you do.... Build a stout engine. Stroker or whatever, and stuff in a big cam. You know it's right when you have a healthy "lope" at idle. When you pull up to someone at a light, they look over at you and have a look of fear in their eyes. Little kids will give you a big :thumbup:. Everyone will know that your car has A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E. It's one mean mutha of a ride. You WILL get noticed. All without spinning tires or getting a ticket. When you pull into the local hang out, you don't have to fly in at 100 mph. Just idle up nice and easy. That's been my experience with my Demon. Even a few Mopar guys asked if I had a big block under the hood. "Nope. Just a little old 340", I replied. I wish I had a sound clip to post.
 
Once upon a time, there was a street of junk yards on Long Island; I believe it was Long Island Avenue. They were simply loaded with the remains of busted up muscle cars. It was like a smorgasbord for us back then. I am not kidding. It seemed that 50% of the cars were muscle cars. I knew four guys who were killed by street racing. Don't add yours to the heap!

Interestingly, our favorite yard had a peculiar Furd engine sitting against the office window. Big, wide valve covers. Odd-looking chain cover on the front of the engine. Oh, wow! A real OHC 427!

there was people and trees around. the cop was behind a tree. and to top it off it was a school zone.sheesh

That seems to be my observation as well.
I will just idle nice and slow while entering a car show or hangout and they will know the car is wicked without having to light the tires off.
The last car show I went to a guy came up to me after I parked and asked why I did not light the tires up.
I told him "Because I dodn't think the parents of all the little kids being pushed around in strollers would be too happy about me driving dangerously in a packed parking lot, and I don't think I would be invited back ever again.
After more excuses from him.
I also said I read the rules of the car show and it said (no burnouts whatsoever and drive safely into the lot as pedestrians are everywhere.)
He said "Aww, it's just for a second."
I told him that split second decisions can ultimately mean life or death in many cases."
Just my luck to be heckled by the only idiot at the car show, and he spent another 10 minutes asking me if I had it at the drag strip.
I should have just said yes and made up some lie about how fast because he almost got offended that I did not have my car at the drag strip yet beating the heck out of it, and spent the next 10 minutes ragging me about that.
I just wanted to grab him and shake him until he stopped breathing, but I just tried to be polite as possible without giving him any other excuse to run his mouth, but after a few more questions from him, he was able to tell me how fast my car would run with my combo.LOL.
I asked him what he drove to the car show, and he said he just came in his work truck.

Oh, and as far as getting on it around a bend, not smart especially with anything over 400 ponies.
 
there was people and trees around. the cop was behind a tree. and to top it off it was a school zone.sheesh


hahaha i was not near a tree (i wasnt going towards the cop) all the other people in the cars had gone ahead of me i was the last one

just saying that evey once in awhile i like to get sideways i am really picky on were i do it though as i have got sideways and wrecked my old 67 cougar(just put it out of its misery) after that i decided to go to evoc(emergency vehicle opertaions course) there they had a huge polished concrete area with water on it and you have a cop car with bald tires i learned alot doing that i am not saying i am perfect but i know im gonna do it either way i might as well know the point when the cars not gonna go back and your gonna spin around

i am not getting sideways to try to be cool but i enjoy doing it to me its a feeling like no other

i will never put some else or there car in danger cause i wanna be stupid
 
I will sound like a parent & take it from someone that was seriously injured do to a quick bad decision by a friend screwing around on normal roadways years ago . Believe me I have been there with you in the past but what you did my mopar friend was wrong no matter how cool it feels. Driving on the roadways of our beloved USA is a privilege not a right. If you had been in Va. you would be having your car impounded & facing up to 24 mo. in jail. Go to a track or local autocross event & play it safe.

Same thing happend to me. I was riding with a dumbass friend at the time spun the tires around a corner and lost it. We airborned it down and 20ft. embankment and my head went partially through the windshield and my arm put a nice dent in the dashboard. All I got out of it was a fractured wrist and a lot of glass in my face from the windshield. Boy,I was so pissed at that kid.

amzchad:

Years ago two senior students of mine came to me to wish me a nice weekend. They were leaving school early because one of the boys just got his license and had his father's car. I also knew the father. I warned them not to cut class but told them to be careful, since I knew that they wouldn't listen. That night the friend of the driver called me to say that they were in the hospital--speeding and hit a tree. I rushed to the room and in front of the father I told the young man: "I told you not to cut and to be careful!"
Just be careful and prudent!!! A word to the wise.
