Last night driving my girlfriend home, we were sitting at a light and I was reaching into the back seat to get her phone out of her bag that was ringing when I slipped and goosed the throttle.

Some dork in a caliber SRT-4 was sitting next to me, I look over with that "oops" smirk on my face and he must have thought I wanted to race since on the green I watched him take off with a huge burnout. The best part is he got pinched by a cop pulling out of the donut shop about 100 yards down the road lmao... All in all, NAY to the street-racing, good way to get yourself or someone else killed or seriously injured IMO

I don't know whether or not to consider this street-racing since there was no racing, just a story of a wreckless kid getting pinched for what the law-enforcement officials around here call "Stunt Driving"... pretty hefty fine...

I anything, this is why BF is against these types of shananigans, Street-racing is illegal, dangerous and deadly. This was an example of the "ILLEGAL".

Street racing is dangerous, so is using a cell phone while driving.

Not my cell phone, getting it at a red light for my girlfriend to answer.

blah...don't get me started on the cell phone argument...I HATE it lol.
And for the record...I use my cell phone while driving on a daily basis...so you can see what side of the argument I'm on..lol

when I do make a short call, I use my bluetooth headset (driving stick with one hand is sketchy at best)

when I do make a short call, I use my bluetooth headset (driving stick with one hand is sketchy at best)

That would be the only reason I would spend the ridiculous amount of money on a BT headset lol. Luckily, I drive an automatic, so I don't have that problem.
And it is against the law to drive while talking on the cell phone here, but the fact is that it's the act of talking on the phone that makes it dangerous, not having your arm up to your ear.

but the fact is that it's the act of talking on the phone that makes it dangerous, not having your arm up to your ear.
While I agree that having your arm up to your ear is not the problem, I do not agree that the talking aspect is... Ban talking in general... It just is not practical. People have to be responsible. You do not make them responsible by making up more laws that simply cannot be enforced. How is a cop supposed to know whether you were talking on the phone or just to yourself if you have a completely hands free car phone? Or one of those car phone adapters with a mic and speaker or the Ford Sync? But I digress, gets a little off the topic of some punk kid having a run in with the police.

I agree with you totally on this one...I don't think the law does any good. But I also digress, as this is not the original topic at hand lol.
We seem to have a bad habit of getting side tracked :D.

I've said what I had to say about punks thinking they're big in their little rice-burners... It's something about the smaller car crowd, they have to prove they're better than the larger vehicles lol.

I had no desire of running him though, for one I'm in a 4x4 not a race truck, and street racing is illegal, dangerous, and just idiotic... I will admit it's cool in the movies though.

(as a sidenote, it's being too immersed in your conversation or other distractions that take your focus off of driving... I've seen someone reading while they were driving! People like that make me want to kill. Eliminating cell phones in cars is just another way of eliminating temptation to distract oneself. People get fed-up of talking to me on my phone while I'm driving because I'm not paying that much attention to them. Usually I'll give them the "YA UNHUH" treament.)

Hehe in Oklahoma it's illegal to talk on the phone while driving but I swear that probably 8/10 of the police officers I see on the roads are talking on the phone... No joke 80% at least.

nc its not illegal haha

i think the law about phones is bs i dont talk and drive unless i need directions but i drive an automatic so its not as bad

Hmm... if I'm posting this from my iPhone while driving with my knees and eating a burrito, passing a stopped school bus going 17 over the posted speed limit, yelling at my kids I technically don't fall under any of the things people have booed down. Still in the clear then! :D

I'd be lying if I told you I was surprised by that lol... sad thing is that some of the bad drivers around here are cops, one blew the red light by my house last week without the sirens on, just straight through and almost got tagged by a ram 3500. Just a couple of days ago I saw a cop flying down the street with the sirens blaring, turn them of and pull into the coffee shop.


*EDIT* Hmmm, seems I missed a few posts somehow lol, this was replying to OKVortec's post lol

OMG, a while back my friend & I were driving down the street when I called his attention to a woman driving a mini van (something like: HOLY "f-bomb" look at her!)
The woman was driving the van with her wrist, eating a slice of pizza, sending a text message on her cell with her other hand on the wheel while looking at who seemed to be her mother in the passenger seat & carrying on a conversation with her!

Huge amount of talent or just down right scary?!
I stayed 2 car lengths back in the other lane & watched

I don't blame you! I've had a couple of close calls being next to someone who's distracted, good thing the Blazer has a half decent horn because we would have traded paint.

hahahaha I would have love to have seen this! I would have kept my distance too, but to see that for my own eyes would be something...

And Martin...it's illegal up here for anyone who works for the gov't or municipality (this includes the police) to talk on the phone while driving. If you see one you can get their vehicle number and report them. They can go as far as losing their job for doing it.

Hehe if they did that here we'd have about 160 officers instead of 800... so we'd be screwed!

LOL when I was stuck working Law Enforcement they used to TELL us to use our cell. It would free up the radio and you wouldn't look like such an ass calling about what kind of paperwork went into a shop lifting :D

Also a woman texting changed lanes right into the side of my wife's Exploder. She was in a Focus for God's sake! A Half-assed glance would have averted that :p

Anytime you see a cop on their cellphone up here they're pulled over in a parking lot or on the side of the road. It's a big deal to the police and to the municipality up here to be talking on your phone in a gov't owned vehicle....ridiculous IMO, but whatever. lol

It's also a big deal to say "a-boot" on your cell in a GOV and cheer for your favorite hockey team after pounding some Molson Ice up there... :D

The funny part is... They think your kidding! ;) Portland drivers are their own breed for sure, I drive about ten miles a day (too and from work and school) and I'd say (no bull) I am almost hit by drivers on the phone AT LEAST THREE times a day! AT LEAST. No joke, I live in the part of town all the rich people live in. It would seem BMW, cellphone chatting and irrisponsible driving go hand in hand!

If it werent for my stellar ability to evade incomming morons with simply my thumb ( I drive around using just my thumb if I'm going under... say 70), anyways point being Im a hypocryte, but I dont care cuz its only ok for me to do what I want. everyone else should follow the rules! haha I hate the idiot drivers in my town lol. I would (quite litteraly) kill for an open country road with NO traffic...

Move to Sandy... on your way to say, Rhododendron, you can pretty much pick any side road after town and get lost for days. Hell search crews will only go looking when its nice out :p

Talking on the phone is in the process of being made illegal here. We're a bit slow down under, takes a while to catch on.

Talking is one thing but, the most dangerous I've seen is people texting. Not only are they focused on the conversation/message but looking at the phone to punch in the words as well.

I'll admit to being back for texting and driving lol, and yes I'll admit to it being dangerous. Wasn't so bad on my old phone with T9..it's extremely easy to text and drive with an ols style phone, but these new QWERTY keyboards make it hard to text and drive. I don't do it much anymore just because it's very dangerous with a touch screen QWERTY.

It's also a big deal to say "a-boot" on your cell in a GOV and cheer for your favorite hockey team after pounding some Molson Ice up there... :D

hahahahhaa thats for a good laugh this morning ABN...your posts are always enjoyable. Any FYI - I don't watch hockey...we don't all love it up here. I'm a football person myself...Pat's/Vikings fan. And Molson Ice is nasty beer...just about as bad as a Colt..or Faxe lol. I'm a Coors man myself...which is also made my Molson, so I guess you're partially right :D

Sorry SISK but even for Canadian beer Coors is like water for me, I'm a Canadian man and a Canadiens Fan! lmao... Problem is I'll have to start laying off the Canadian, my spare tire from my truck seems to be slowly migrating to my waistline.

OH... How'd we go from Jackasses in 4-bangers wanting to race Blazers to the cell phone discussion anyway? Oh, and talking on the cell is going to be illegal very soon here.

It's a subtle thread jacking. The worst kind :(

Anyone else have run ins with little creeps like this one? Obviously we don't mention if any *ahem* street racing *cough cough* came from it, but if any little twerp in a civic with a big rocket-ship wing was egging you on tell us if anything funny happened or you just looked over and laughed at the rusty POS with a beer-can muffler sitting next to you.

well it wasn't exactly a civic or anything like that, but I had a dude in a ford ranger revving his engine at me at a red light like he wanted to race me. Funny thing was when he went to take off his truck just sputtered like it was gonna die. I just looked over and shook my head and kept going on my merry way. But it was funny at the moment.

Having the 4.3 is kinda nice cause most people don't realize that when put in a Blazer, it makes a pretty quick little truck, at least my 2door is.

I can smash on 4cyls all day..until I find one with a turbo.:rolleyes: Hell I've out run my buddies 5.3 silvy and 4.8 f150 clear to 60mph. My other friend has a R/T charger, I can keep up with him through 1st gear :D:cool:

Sweet, did you get an ET on the 1/4? or were the clocks down? lol ;)

Funny you ask, I did make a coule runs at the local strip a few weeks back, but the clocks don't come on til 130am and I was parked for the night by that time. I did see the SRT4 that spanked me run a 12.73 quarter haha. I'm guessing I ran a 15.5 to 16 lol

Ya, 12.73 oughtta about do it lol.
That's unlike a chrysler product though... it didn't go up in smoke and flames? lol

No it just hid behind Chapter 11 when they came to REPO it at the end of the night.

LOL, no it didn't blow up or anything. He had stage 3 turbo and some other mods...

Also, there was a Pontiac GTO with a 200 shot of NOS... are you ready... it outran a 1000cc sportbike no joke. It was ridiculous.

:O holy ****!

my thoughts EXACTLY, along with everyone else in the stand lol.

pffft! pics or it never happened :D

I've got a couple pics of their cars... I'll work on getting better ones.
Sorry, no action shots :(

I wanna join in the convo!!!! *jumps up and down*

Wait... nevermind I don't have anything to share.

^^^ Well good thing we have you around then ... :p

lmao, WAAAY to many bad drivers out there, around here it's the soccer mom's in the dodge caravans you've gotta worry about though...almost lost my driverside mirror last night. She was turned right around in her van getting something in the back while we were doing about 75kph. I saw her turn around, then I watched her slowly wander towards me, finally she got within maybe half a foot of me when I realised she wasn't turning back around. I leaned on the horn, jammed on the brakes, and I've never seen anyone overcorrect so hard. She hit the curb of the centre island before she straightened the van out in her lane. She then proceeded to blow a red light, then at the next light where I caught up to her, she was up a silverado's ass. It was great because the truck had this huge "multi-ball" hitch, you know those receivers with like 6 different size balls on them? Made my night. I was tempted to stay behind and tell the cop how distracted she was but I was late enough as it was for dinner with my girlfriend.

Believe it or not seeing as I don't have pics but hey, I have the satisfaction of knowing it happened :D

lol! YES!

Classisc!

Almost brought a tear to my eye it was so beautiful. :P

BlazerChick,you remind me a bit of my girlfriend... hooked on trucks.
She's bugging me to drop a 327 GM crate engine in my blazer and I keep telling her if she pays for it sure!

I remind everyone of their Girlfriend lol. Not really, just thought I'd say that.

I could share how completely horrible the tourists are. I always make fun of them whenever I can. I work at the beach, but I live more inland. So I get to deal with the couples going, "Oh look Honey, the water!!! Lets go 20 under so we can take our sweet time looking at it even though there's a really big bridge up here that we can see 20 miles out. Oh and don't worry about that really big truck on our bumper, it's just a local trying to say hi... with her push bar."
Seriously, tourists suck. But at least I only have to deal with them in the summer... unlike the Marines... those A-holes are always driving bad, in their little pimped out sports cars or chromed out trucks... all big and bad at the stop lights messing around with the other cars.

And about the cops and cell phones. I swear every single cop around here is always on them. And if they aren't, they are parked 3 or 4 in a row talking to each other at the gas station. Those are usually the Sheriffs tho. They don't do anything around here. I've had one behind me with his Radar on (I've got a radar detector) so I decided to speed just to see if he'd actually do something... he didn't. Pulled right into the gas station. I've seen as many as six just sitting doing nothing but talking to each other, even had one come play paintball with me and some friends. The Troopers are the only ones that I see daily doing their job correctly.

There, I shared. :)

BlazerChick, your radar detector is next to useless unless you are hoping to burn just a bit of battery power that you had lying around. #1 it's range is less than the radar. #2 its worse than useless because most NC agencies have or are moving to Lidar with is more accurate and detectors don't notice it anyway. #3 by the time your dector tips you off, you have already been pinged by the radar, hence the "detecting". #4 just because you speed around a cop, they wont pull you over.

I hate police work. It sucks. you only see people at their worst. No one call the cops because a party is too much fun and there is too much beer to go around... But I hate people that drive stupid because a police vehicle is nearby even more...
Match speeds with a cop, or drive normally (7 over ish) and i will bet money nothing will happen. Don't got 10 over in a school zone while kids are trying to cross, or drive with 2 year expired tag and no insurance and then bitch at me because you're dumb though ;)

Look, only new cops, and douche bag supercops pull people simply for speeding a little. When i was stuck enforcing law, 10 over got you sarcastically harassed via the PA, 15 over got you pulled and told to slow down, 20 over got you a ticket for 12 over, 25 over got you turned over to you chain of command at battalion level or higher to be wrecked by your superiors, and 30+ got you towed and arrested. If I speed, why shouldn't you *shrug*

Somethings can't be looked past like kids not buckled up, or not in a car seat, drunk driving, domestic violence, etc but a lot of crap is just a waste of time. Imagine pulling over every jackass that tossed a cigarette butt for littering, less than 25 lbs... c'mon. Cell phones are the same thing. Unenforcable in any meaningful way.
Oh and i agree, the Troopers are the most professional of the bunch.

I know a couple of cops, one of them being one of those "Super cops". Any modified car he sees he pulls over and he has fun with them, hell he has a pair of coveralls in his f-ing trunk... he nailed a guy for 2000 bucks once, N2O, no catalytic, modified exhaust, modified seat belts, non-street legal tires (drag slicks), fuel cell (for some reason, although they're safer they're also illegal)... the list goes on... it was a damn race-car so he did have reason to pull him over.
Like what ABN said though, if they pulled every guy over for having a fart can on their civic, or hucking a cigarette butt out the window we'd need twice the cops in this town and it'd be a waste of time. Somwhere while that cop is giving a kid a $200 fine for his fart can someone's blowing a red light, breaking into a house or mugging somebody.

Priorities is what it all comes down to.

We have the provincial police who are the equivalent of state troopers and they too are the most professional of the bunch next to the RCMP (our "FBI").

I live in the middle of nowhere. We can't afford Lidar lol, the Troopers and Morehead City probably have them... but not our Sheriffs and the Newport PD. My Detector usually picks them up before I can see them, not that they are going to do anything anyway. And the Detector is my dad's in the Jeep... not in my truck.

You are way more lenient than my Marine Corps MPs... I was escorted off base for going like 7 over and my license plate light was not working because apparently it was loose and not making connection. Of course it was like the one MP I didn't know... knew the guy that escorted me off tho... he came up to my window and stopped in mid introduction to say "Hi". I used to get all the dirt on people that got pulled over, but most of the people I know Lat-moved to something else.

Heh. thats the problem with MPs. Once you know a few and have some sweet connections, they PCS somewhere else and you get F-ed the first itme you need them :p

hmm... Last night I had two Buick's crawling side by side at like 5 mph blocking the road. They weren't racing or anything, just holding up traffic. They were lucky I didn't have an old K5 with a snowplow on the front or they would have gotten a chev bowtie up the ass. I ended up using the bus stop to get around them.
By bus stop I mean one of these:

|STOP|
____________
_______________/ |ME| \____________________
R
O |BUICK|
A
D |BUICK|
_________________________________________________
lol... other than the misproportions I'd say it looks pretty good:D

Well turns out my little diagram didn't keep the formatting from the reply window... so here's take two.
|STOP| represents the bus stop.

... rrrriiiiigggghhhhttt

And that's why I have a K5... so I can avoid confusing diagrams.

People are funny in / around the Chicago burbs. Last year I had a '91 beater Ford Ranger and often times in order to keep it running I'd have to push the RPM's up by rev'ing it slightly. So here I am, absolute piece of junk Ranger, and everyone seems to think I want to race them. I don't know how many times people have absolutely floored their stock SUV's, trucks, or cars only to pass me, get in the turning lane, and signal me to follow them.

There wasn't a single section on my Ranger that wasn't dented in or had large pockets of rust and rot.

People are dumb.

Wow... resurrected. Anyway, I know, people are just stupid. I was coming up beside some traffic in the turning lane to make a left at a set of lights two nights ago after going out for dinner with my girlfriend, I was doing the posted limit trying to make the green light when out of nowhere, this guy who was doing 1/3 the speed I was just cut me off. Didn't look, no signals, the usual (funny thing is he was in a beat up ranger). I had to swerve into the oncomming lane to get around him and thank god there were no cars coming. We weren't more than 5 feet away when he cut. I didn't even have time to lean on the horn I had to swerve so fast. My girlfriend flipped him off as we swerved though lmao.

some people are just too stupid for their own good like that guy, or the 221 people that got ticketed in in st. petersburg fl for just being at a place where street racing was going on. Oh well does not matter to me these people merely serve as entertainment for me, as i wave to them getting their tickets as i drive by for doing nothing wrong

NO POSTS ABOUT STREET RACING... read the outline of the Street N' Strip section before you get this thread locked. We've only talked about incidents where individuals WANTED to race a fellow Blazer owner, not when someone has actually raced seeing it's illegal and since BF.com doesn't condone illegal activity will lock this thread.

MODS: If you have to lock it, can you just delete the previous post instead? Thanks.

my apologies i just went ahead and changed the post

Not my cell phone, getting it at a red light for my girlfriend to answer.

Why couldn't she get?

Why couldn't she get?

Sitting at the light that had just turned red, her phone started ringing, it was behind her and it was just easier for me to get it. That's when I slipped and hit the throttle. That's also when dip **** with the SRT-4 thought I wanted to race which consequently landed him with a fine.

I'm starting to get pissed off with this town, a guy can't drive down the main drag in a half decent looking vehicle at 11:00pm without someone wanting to race him... I was doing the limit in the slow lane listening to some chill/mellow Stevie Ray Vaughn with my arm out the windo when two ditsy blondes smoking like chimneys start trying to race me in this ford Ranger. I just shook my head, then not a minute later I get the same thing from some punk in a G5 GT.

They just put a new law out called "stunt driving" less than a year ago and street racing falls under that category, $2000 fine and your car is towed/impounded for a week right then and there. IMO it hasn't helped ANYTHING, like wtf? I never even got that in my cavalier and it looked more racey than a 4x4 Blazer.

Why do people insist on racing Blazers? I sure as hell don't because there's no point, it's an SUV, not a rice burner with something to prove.

once i was sitting at an intersection enjoying a taco:) when all of the sudden a guy pulls up and revs his engine in a camry and i saw a cop pull into the car wash a minuite earlier. So i rev my engine too the light turns green and he takes off like a bat outta hell. Then the cop gets him. i drove on by laughing all the way.
me= :) him= :icon_doh:

lol, had a similar incident with a Caliber SRT-4... the story's int he original post.

Also, there was a Pontiac GTO with a 200 shot of NOS... are you ready... it outran a 1000cc sportbike no joke. It was ridiculous.

That's exactly why I've been checking out the G8 GXP lately.

BlazerChick,you remind me a bit of my girlfriend... hooked on trucks.

You know that means you gotta marry her now, right? A good truck-lovin' woman is hard to find.

You know that means you gotta marry her now, right? A good truck-lovin' woman is hard to find.

Tell me about it, my ex didn't even know what a Corvette was, let alone the fact that spare tires existed. We had a 99 Blazer at the time and she didn't know what that "thing" was on the back of the "metal thing" that swung out to open the "back door". I'm pretty sure I almost cried myself to sleep that night.

Didn't work out lol. Now my current girlfriend is explaining to my buddy's how fuel injection and carbs are different lol, I taught her alot, but that's because she wanted to learn. keeper

My wife loves trucks. She doesn't like working on vehicles herself, but she does have a good understanding of it when I explain it to her, which is just fine in my book.

Your girl sounds like the ex I almost married but didn't. One time I asked her to help me replace the alternator in my '90 Acura Legend, and she figured it out on her own, pushed me out of the way, and finished the job! She was also a helluva driver. She kicked my ass in this one driving arcade game. I'm the guy that prided himself on finishing the courses and putting my initials on the board, but she totally put me to shame. Good times...

Video games aren't her forte, the mechanical work side isn't her forte either, but the fact she understands what I mean when I say I have to replace something is fine.

She wasn't too interested in helping put the stock airbox back in either lol, I told her how to pull the CAI off "losen the hose clamp closest to the heat shield and pull the pipe with the filter off, then loosen the other clamp and pull the blue rubber off the stock intake hose." She comes back to me after pulling the hose clamp completely off and nothing else then says, "What else did you want me to do?" hmmm.. not that! lol. I ended up doing the entire thing myself, so I'm still working on getting her into the greasy bits more lol.

She's the only woman so far though who listens to me babble on endlessly about engines and what not and actually asks questions. I've gotten LOTS of blank stares from other people.

I love how we've digressed from arsehole drivers to talking about the women in our lives...

Yeah. We should probably move it to the Lounge. LOL

I'm sure a moderator'll pop by and move us over lol, unless people start coming back with stories of people driving like terd-brains and getting what's coming to them lol.

ya my ex was slow cause i was installing neons in my truck and had the truck on a jack, she didnt see me and let the truck down im hella glad its at stock height or you could look up my obiturary on google:icon_google:

Why do people insist on racing Blazers? I sure as hell don't because there's no point, it's an SUV, not a rice burner with something to prove.


Because they know the Blazer has a huge V6 and can outrun some V8's :icon_bowrofl:

Had to add to this convo 6 years ago in the winter I was coming home after work late at night. in a BAD white out going 30 in a 55 a minivan pasted me going 45-50 almost hit me she was on the phone & gave me the FINGER. 2 mi up the road she was in the ditch I stop to see if she was alright & if she wanted me to pull her out. she was still on the phone with a bloody nose & said I'm OK my husband is on his way I felt bad but could NOT stop laughing. "I think that mad her MAD"

BOOM! lol, don't you love instant Karma? Similar thing happened to me this year on the way home from school in a white out blizard, Civic ended up sliding through a red light and plowing into the side of a GMC Sierra, he was doing about 35mph (I think, my conversions are usually off by a couple) I was maybe doing 15-20 in 4x4 taking my time flowing with the traffic in the slow lane. However I've been known to give-r when I'm late for school and risk doing the speed limit. Sraight stretch + 4x4 + winter tires = overconfidence IMO, I"ve been lucky so far though, havn't gotten into any sticky situations but I'm tempting fate when I do.

lol dont get me started on unresponsible drivers
if it wasnt for someone talking on a cell phone
they wouldnt have run a red light and totaled our blazer =[
almost every state bordering ky has the cell phone law and we dont
lol

almost every state bordering ky has the cell phone law and we dont
lol

:icon_oldskewl:

Stevo, you guys should sue the other driver for damages and what not while you're at it... I garauntee you'll win, the fact he/she was on the cell phone definitely won't win them any sympathy, seeing people on cell phones talking with their hands just makes me want to kill.

[QUOTE=oktain;222209]I've said what I had to say about punks thinking they're big in their little rice-burners... It's something about the smaller car crowd, they have to prove they're better than the larger vehicles lol.


We have a lot of those punks close to where I live. And what you said makes total sense. So you went and spent a bunch of your parents hard earned money on your stock Chevy cobalt. Good for you! Not everyone wants to race you, I like not putting gas in my car everyday!

Similar note: When I first bought my blazer, I wasn't at all used to a rear wheel drive vehicle. I stepped on the gas to get out of a very bad intersection and ended up with a little less tread on my tires. People must have thought I was trying to be "cool" where in fact I just needed a lesson on driving a rear wheel drive suv. ;)

I love how this thread pops up to the top every so often.

One pattern that I've noticed with the "budget tuner" scene is they'll make these cars all flashy, then replace the muffler with a fart-cannon that sounds like my lawn-mower and expect it to go fast. IMO if you're building a ricer, there should be a list of priorities:
1. engine tweaks
2. nice rim/tire combo
3. Interior mods
4. Body kit if you have the GO to match the SHOW and a car that warrants it. There's nothing worse than seeing a 90's camaro with a flamboyant body kit with the "I'm going to eat you" front bumper. If you're rolling in a 300+hp Supra, then by all means do something tasteful. When people turn their heads, they're not always admiring your car, ask yourself if they're laughing at you for looking so ridiculous.
5. And should not be left out... matching body panels! There's nothing worse than a yellow car with mustard body-kit parts... You shouldn't even be out in public if your body kit is still primer coloured. People understand if the entire car looks prepped for a paint job in the coming week but daamn.

hmmm... that feels better.

btw, I'm looking at a 1993 240SX with a Silvia front clip currently, 300+hp with 18-20psi of boost. If I do buy it, it'll be painted black with tinted windows and a nice set of gun-metal coloured wheels. That's my idea of a ricer... One that sleeps til you romp on it.

I Swerve and Blare a truck horn at people on the Phone...
Its Funny.

what are they going to do... report me to the Cops?

Fine in Kuwait for talking on the phone while driving is 500KD ($1750 US)
its only enforced if there is an incident requiring investigation...

:D

The guy sold the 240...

But anyway, I was following this one guy and he was all over the place, almost like he was drunk. I get up next to him (dumb idea) and realize he's on the phone, then he starts wandering into my lane. I moved over as close to the centre line as possible without actually going into the oncoming lane thinking he was going to correct. Well when he was a foot or so away from me I gave him a shot of the horn, he dropped his phone and reefed on the steering wheel lol, the look of shock on his face was the priceless part.

I don't know if he was changing lanes without checking, but I definitely wasn't in his blind spot, I was right next to him... my front bumper was ~even with the hub of his front wheel.

lol we already have a lawyer because his insurance sent my dad the papers they were supposed to fill out, and im pretty sure my dad is sueing because my mom already had problems from her knee that was cut and she keeps getting sharp pains and aches
he has a halfa** insurance company and he is probably hurting from the 35000 medical bill they had to pay lol

I had one of those "**** that sucks" moments a couple of nights ago.
I was driving my girlfriend home from my place, waiting at the red light to make my left turn onto the main drag, I could see a car's orange running lights across in the parking lot. As I made my left turn I could make out the cherries on the roof of a Crown Vic and knew it was a radar trap.
On my way back from her place coming up to the same turn I hit a red light maybe a block away. While I was sitting there these two guys in a VW Rabbit 2.5 pull up next to me. His drunk passenger (who I can hear over my sub) turns to his friend and says "Race HIM!" I turned my head and smiled because I knew what was up ahead. So I turned my music off and revved my engine up to about 2500 rpm and held it there to make it sound as though I were taking off agressively. The light turned green and he took off like a bat out of hell, I let my revs fall back to ~1500 and continued on my merry way waiting for the inevitable. They couldn't see the cop because of the warehouse in the way.

That's when I got to the turn to get back home and saw the cop was gone... wiped the smile off my face pretty quickly. They're never there when you need/want them lol. It would have made my freakin day had that worked out.

Instigater. LOL.. That poor VW burnin up dem spark plugs..

Instigater. LOL.. That poor VW burnin up dem spark plugs..

lol, Das beschissen Auto, I'll admit though, he got some nice wheel spin off the line lol. My old BFG's would skid and screech all day long, but these new Michelin's wont let go of the pavement.

just thought Id share....but to make it clear I never went above the speed limit....


I was picking my dad up from work, and his buddy was next to us in his 199X 1500 4X4 w/350. we both turned right, onto the main road, and he was gunnin it, and falling back. I was doing maybe 30, and the speed limit was 55. I waited for him to start gunnin it again, then I dropped my truck out of OD, into second, took off, up shifted into D, then I was doing 55, so I backed off. I look in the mirror and there he was about 2 car lengths behind me HAHAHAHA..

My dads defense was "well his truck has 200,000 miles on it"
My defense was " mine has 184,000. whats the freakin difference, 16,000 miles?"


oh it was great. I dont know if it was considered as street racing. I was doing the speed limit, the only thing is, I got to the speed limit before he did lol

Yeah that's pushing the street racing barrier a bit... but at least you guys weren't speeding...

I had a friend tell me once... its how fast your are going that matters.... so get to speed as fast as you want and there are no problems.....

I was running through the back roads with my girl and my buddy was ahead of me in a taurus.. he had his girl with him... and he got stuck behind a truck.... so the truck goes to turn... so I put the pedal down and give it hell... i come screaming up from behind him and switch lanes... because he was almost to a stop because of the truck in front of him... I was probably 3~4 car lengths behind him... before doing this... I swing around him and scare the **** out of him.... and i pull in front of him and he decides its a good idea to get two wide on this road... so I pull away... and then graciously slow down because I knew the road would narrow and I let him take the way... plus I didnt feel like racing that much...

I'm just going to put the warning out that if we get too comfortable with "almost" street racing stories, a mod or admin may lock this down, and after 9 pages of replies, I'd hate to see that happen. I've never started a thread that's hung around this long.

I didnt really consider it street racing... as we did not get going to fast... But I see where you are coming from... slowly from one burnout at the light to get the guy in the next car to take off... and then someone is doing like 170 and getting a helicopter following them on a highway in california... idk... but I get ya... street racing is bad.... lets just go play in the mudd

Yep, consider this the warning about street racing stories. Remember that police can give tickets for 'contest for speed' regardless of what the speed is.

He's right for England at least. You can get a ticket for accelerating hard upto the speed limit. It comes under "Dangerous Driving" - pretty hefty fine and points on your license too.

Yup, they call it "Stunt Driving" around here and you can get it for doing burnouts in a parking lot, accelerating hard, revving your engine at a stop light, doing 50km/h over the speed limit is an automatic one too, not even a warning for that one... All this came around when a bunch of people got killed in Ontario within a week because of street racers.

$2000 fine, +towing and impound fees, automatic liscence suspension, and you don't even want to know how much insurance sky rockets after one of these.

He didnt get a ticket for the donut he got a ticket for driving a caliber =P

first off, i'd like to say i'm glad to see this thread running such a long life (4 months now), and i think we all can agree, Karma's a bi*ch! :)

I've said what I had to say about punks thinking they're big in their little rice-burners... It's something about the smaller car crowd, they have to prove they're better than the larger vehicles lol.


i still can't figure out how these idiot's driving a 4-banger ricer, thinks it's even an attempted race, when they try to challenge me in my 'Burb! besides the fact it's more than 1 1/2 times longer, and weighs twice as much-plus it's diesel!! maybe it's the "shake" the 6.2 makes or the Flowmaster 50's that make it sound faster than it is, idk.

LOL, no it didn't blow up or anything. He had stage 3 turbo and some other mods...

Also, there was a Pontiac GTO with a 200 shot of NOS... are you ready... it outran a 1000cc sportbike no joke. It was ridiculous.

i won't go into details, as this would break the forum rules, but i believe it. i used to run a 2x4 set-up with a Top Gun 5 stage (made almost 1100hp on spray) in my Dart, and *ahem* educated one ZX9 a few times.

.............People are dumb.

yes they are. :icon_goofygrin:

............................ but the fact she understands what I mean when I say I have to replace something is fine.

She's the only woman so far though who listens to me babble on endlessly about engines and what not and actually asks questions. I've gotten LOTS of blank stares from other people.

I love how we've digressed from arsehole drivers to talking about the women in our lives...

sounds an awful lot like my wife. it may have taken her a few years to stop rolling her eyes when i start going on about cars, but even after 21 years, i still catch her wanting to, every once-in-a-while, hahahahaha!

Of course you educated him on the drag strip right? lol.

Revival...

Last week (Friday night) I was heading home from my GF's house, A 4 dr Cavalier loaded with (assuming) college kids passes me WAY over the speed limit and cuts me off.

I guess he wasn't happy that I slowed down for the construction zone... Thing is, I knew there were some dandy holes and that's why i was taking my time, because we all know how good the front ends are on our trucks, and in a City that's had 4 roads in Canada's 10 worst roads for the past couple of years you can imagine how careful I am lol.

He didn't slow down at all and hit this gigantic pot hole. The car bottomed out on the frame, popped out of the hole, got completely sideways, and hesomehow straightened back out. I got up behind him at the next red light. Being the nice guy I am, I thought he would benefit from a lesson on how bright high beams could be. As we pulled away from the light and exiting the construction zone, he changed lanes and I noticed something bright dangling from his front end... Among the now wobbling front wheel (MmMmMm...bent rim anybody?) and the now crooked tracking (mmm, bent control arms) I noticed that his driver's side headlight was now dangling by the harness.

Once again, being a nice guy, I pulled up next to him at the next red light and rolled down my window... He did the same thing, and choking on the resulting pot fumes, I told him... "Hey buddy, hope driving like an ass was worth wrecking your car! Your headlight's dangling!" To which I was instructed to go self fornicate and he tore off into the night before the light even turned green... Shaking my head I turned up the street and returned home, wondering why natural selection isn't harsher on stupid people.

Haha thanks for the laugh oktain, I especially got a kick out of the last paragraph!!

Anyone else with other jackass stories?

I'm surprised there aren't more deaths with the drivers in this city...

Anyone else with other jackass stories?

................or in mine.

you asked for it, so now i'm gonna give you one.......

this morning i'm driving down towards the North West side of Toronto, and i notice this idiot in a Safari reading his Blackberry while yo-yoing behind this NSX. i'm shaking my head @ this tool in the Safari, since we just had this "No handheld device law" enacted in Ontario on the 26th of October. so i roll up beside the NSX, to let the guy know what's going on behind his (so he can be ready for the hit in the ass he's gonna get from this guy). when i pull up beside him-he's doing the same damn thing! so i just roll on past, laughing @ the irony of these two tools.
a few minutes down the road, i find myself behind the NSX (wasn't paying attention). after watching this guy bounce between the lines, more often than not, riding his passenger tires over the dotted line into the lane beside us, i get feed up, and i pass @ the first opportunity i can. what happens? the other idiot in the Safari has suddenly decided to wake up and decides he gonna play follow the leader. when he pulls inbehind me, he's shaking his head & flipping me the bird! i shrug my shoulders @ him like "what?!?". he takes his "bird" and gestures to his head, like i'm f**ked in the head for passing the other idiot like that (didn't cut him off-but wanted to, didn't "flip him off", nothing).
when he pulls up along me, down the road, i ask him what's his problem. he says i'm "driving like a f**king idiot, and sholdn't be on the road". i retort, "there is no law for being an idiot, but there is a law for reading your email while driving now". :p this totally stuns him (usually does), and he just sits there looking like a deer caught in your HL's. light turns green, i go, he's not paying attention, and misses his advance green-yes!
now that's PRICELESS!!!

Beautiful... Got cut off HARDCORE by some chick on my way to school, bad enough I had to use the horn to express my frustration... she was reading her blackberry. She parks next to me in the parking lot and gets out... "What was all that about?" "Gee, maybe the fact you were reading your texts instead of paying attention to who you were cutting off." Then she called me a square head IN FRENCH (a.k.a. tête carrée), which is a derogatory term for English speaking folks... I then had the pleasure of dumbfounding her by demonstrating the fact that I myself am french and I took the opportunity to point out a good place to go stick her presumptive and bitchy attitude while doing so!

Gotta love being bilingual without an accent in either language lol.

Two short stories...

As i was getting a ride home from the fiancees father we are driving on 74 outside of peoria, I look over and some guy in a lil 80's honda has a videocamera(tape style) and its aimed at his face.... I was like wtf.... and he was apparently filming himself driving... idk why....

And then today, walking back from class, a cop suv(didnt catch the make/model as I was kinda far away) pulls out in front of a minivan flying through a light.... Cop guns it and the minivan rides the breaks so hard and gets jerked to a stop... no accident and the cop didnt even slow down....

that's why i'm guiding (pushing) my son to learn his French (just started as part of his curriculum in Grade 4). it's good that he likes it (so far).

just finished putting on my Import bumper for the Winter season. been thinking of having it on all year lately.

One of these days you guys are going to get smart with the wrong guy and wound up hurt. That is why I keep my comments and gestures to myself.

too true. i've had a few people (of both gender's) try-even had one guy give me a good solid right before, but his two buddies stopped me before it could go any furthur. i have gotten wiser (a little) as i've gotten older. since i'm such a big guy, i don't get outta my vehicle any more-no matter what.

lets not even go there with the "things we have" in the back of our truck. :icon_laugh:

Hey, i got a story for yall. i was driving my dad's 04 silverado 4dr 4wd back from work (dad was out of town so i drive his truck so i dont waste my gas. his truck get a little over 21 on the highway.) i just got of the highway and was merging onto the packway(231 in huntsville alabama). some kid in a civic with a fart can was darting in and out of lanes and cutting everyone off. when he was behind me, he would ride my ass, almost tucking his nose under my bumper a few times. when he was infront of me, he was inches away from smacking my bumper. we finally got to a stop light, we were side by side, i rolled my window down and tolled him, "you keep doin that and i'll put this truck in 4 wheel low and drive over the top of your ass, and believe me son, you wont get away." when the light turned green, i matted the throttle (5.3l is so much stronger than the 4.3l :P) to get over to left lane for my exit he just sat there for a bit. i hate ppl like that, think they are the **** when they just get there license when they turn 16.

i got a few more stories, but i'll keep them in my deck of cards for now

Generally , unless you really piss me off I keep my comments to myself... sometimes a stern look is more effective than flipping someone off. When people talk to me first (like ditsy chick at school) then I just have to retort.

At least I didn't run into any jackasses today... My patience was short.

@ oktain: I missed the french story! ROFL That was awesome!

@ okvortec: True about the messing with the wrong people thing. I'm sure you will get your fair share of douches when you start patrolling. It's the funniest/worst thing in the world, dealing with people in a law enforcement capacity I mean. You will either learn to love it, or live to hate it :p

@ wlorton: Why the hell do you have a wiffleball bat? I'm imagining the yellow one that is thicker than a broom handle but not bat thick (not the big red cave man one). WTF would you do with that?! Annoy someone into further violence?

i have a fun little collapsible PR-24 in my door pocket since concealed firearms get you a spanking these days

My experience for the day... I just left my counseler's office. (SIDE NOTE: marriages dont do well with 37 months deployed in the first 72). He had cured me of all my problems so I was walking with a nice smile and whistling a tune like I was in some lame ass Disney movie.

When I got to my Blazer (which I had backed in) Some a-hole in a white mom van had parked over the line RIGHT beside my D side door. First glance I found the spot where I had been love tapped. Further inspection revealed white paint transfer and paint chips still on my door. Also, my door was gouged to the metal.

I left a nice little note about how thankful I was that a lazy person like them had decided to crowd me out while parking (cleaned up since this is a family site) and after mashing their folding side mirror flat so i could get by, I got into my vehicle. Luckily my d side door is screwed already, and the replacement has not been painted and attached yet so getting into my vehcile was no problem (for me).
You see, if they were so important that they had to park so close to me and trade paint, than the least i could do was slip carefully into the driver's seat, start her up and check to see if my hinges still worked by bracing my left foot against the bottom of my door and forcing it open.

Luckily, the hinges still work. And I was able to give a little paint back as a gesture of kindness for the sharing they did. All in all I am fully aware that counseling is a crock of *edit*.

I had something similar happen, except with a dodge pickup..I folded his mirror in with a post-it saying "thanks for parking so close!", I then took my gum and stuck it under the door handle... had I been having a better day, I probably would have skipped on the gum

but at least you're going. :icon_laugh:

isn't a pr-24 illegal? they are here anyways. i used to keep my 6 D-cell Mag light between the console & driver's seat in my '92, but these 2nd gen's have no room in them for anything that wasn't factory installed (that sucks). can't even fit my cordless LED trouble light in the door pocket.

Idk about you, but you fill it with sand/rocks and its basically like a steel rod.. lol... the ax was a gift from my father and means something special, and the wiffleball bat is actually the groomsman gift from my sisters wedding...

I have only had to use it once... and it was on a drunk person... funny as ****... lol kid thought i broke his knees and wouldnt shut up

wlorton: OH! ok now i'm tracking. there was an old retired hungarian war vet in the neightborhood i grew up in. he would partol around on a bike and keep punks and hobos out of the area. he carried something similar it was a piece of pvc pipe filled with concrete but wrapped with wall paper (wtf?) that thing would be kind of brutal :p
as for the http://www.code3tactical.com/ProductthumbImages/casco/cas-7031.jpg i dont know the local laws regarding it. maybe being military police would swing me some lighter treatment if its a no no :icon_no: hope it never comes down to it, but never know when you could need it. BTW it replaced my asp because it got bent and rusted chipping through ice to get the wife's 2wd unstuck a couple winter's back :p

I keep a whiffleball bat and a sharpened ax in the back of my blazer....

Yeah, I keep an aluminum bat in mine. It's no weapon as far as I'm concerned -- it's just there in case I get called for softball practice at the last minute. :icon_goofygrin:

ever heard of the 1.98? a dude on youtube named jiggaboo jones made it. get yourself a pepsi bottle, spray paint it black fill it with cement add a led pipe and let it dry!

or if your a water drinker, just melt plexiglass i believe? and im not sure what he used to hold it... anyway i got a couple coke bottles in my apartment.

I've got the regular collapsible police baton,I think it's called a TSB 16. Yes, they are illegal, lol.

1.98? can't say I have... :icon_confused:
so basically you are crafting on of these?
http://www.lrpstore.com/uploads/images_products_large/30.jpg

im not following the melted plexiglass though... ? a plexi-disk? Xena style?

I've got the regular collapsible police baton.
like a q-tip, we always called by the main brand name: asps, collapsible baton i believe is correct, but i dunno nomencalture :icon_shrug:
Yes, they are illegal, lol.
but I'm a cop yo :icon_teeth: laws were made to be bent into unrecognizable, but not broken, heaps :D

How about a nice shovel for when you have to dig yourself out of the mud,sand or tight parking spot.

Lol. Good point. There to be bent. I might try that excuse the next time I get pulled over. :icon_dopey:

well you heat up something hard that is see through (which i belive was plexiglass just melted) and put it in lets say a aquafina bottle.

and as for the picture... it may look harmless but that bottle would do some damage like that huge thing haha

Alright after reading through the first post to make sure this was the right thread (dang thread jackers, *cough* old skool *cough*) I just want to be part of it. Since I got my Blazer on the road (a month ago), ive had 3 civics, 1 focus, and like 4 other ricers try to race me, oh and 1 ranger. I dont believe in racing and I am only 18. On the dangerous part, I had a lady 2 days ago almost take out my front fender making a lane change without looking. Guess what, she was on her cell phone. And its not like Blazers fit nicely into blind spots, especially on focuses. Mad me a little angry.

I imagine this would happen more on the QEW.

@ Jshark: I'm trackin' now. Like a club disguised as a drink....

@ C.Blazer: I'm not advocating thread jacking... BUT this is page 13 of an old thread that is a dumping ground for bad driver stories :D Eventually it would turn to road rage and weapons :icon_lolsign:

lol... Speaking of road rage... Some asshat in an older M series cut me off SOOO bad I had to jam on the brakes, there wasn't even a car length between me and the guy in front, Naturally I leaned on the horn (I'm going to install an air horn I swear!). As a result, my truck almost gave the phrase "Up the poop shoot" a new meaning with the help of a big burly Chevy 3500 behind me... It was Chevy Prison and my Blazer almost dropped the soap... Ok enough...

So the M kept weaving and bobbing and what not, and eventually blew a red light, almost getting T-boned... Later on I got to my turn off to head East off the North bound vein in town... It's 3 lanes wide here, the right lane being a turning lane/merge, and the 2 left and middle lanes go straight up to the little town called Val Caron... I change into turning lane and I saw the M (whom I've been bitching about to my girlfriend now for the last 10 minutes now) sitting, stuck in traffic in the middle lane... I rolled down my window, and waved as I went by lol... felt good. I was going to spit my gum out on his hood, but my girlfriend would never have let me live it down ("You're even more of an asshat!").

@ C.Blazer: I'm not advocating thread jacking... BUT this is page 13 of an old thread that is a dumping ground for bad driver stories :D Eventually it would turn to road rage and weapons :icon_lolsign:

lol couldnt agree more just pointing out. And it was on a random street near my house, I drive the highway to Kitchener more than Toronto area.

Apperantly blazers, while not fitting any real 'blind spots', do have a special clear coat that acts as a cloaking device when traveling and ANYONE wants to changes lanes/pull out near one...

Alright after reading through the first post to make sure this was the right thread (dang thread jackers, *cough* old skool *cough*) I just want to be part of it. Since I got my Blazer on the road (a month ago), ive had 3 civics, 1 focus, and like 4 other ricers try to race me, oh and 1 ranger. I dont believe in racing and I am only 18. On the dangerous part, I had a lady 2 days ago almost take out my front fender making a lane change without looking. Guess what, she was on her cell phone. And its not like Blazers fit nicely into blind spots, especially on focuses. Mad me a little angry.

first of all-what da f**k did i do now?!?! that's like the 3rd time in the last wek (not that i'm keep track r anything, hahahahaha!)

how long have you had your truck C.Blazer? 'cause that's a usual day around here. although i've gotta admit, you got me beat with the Ranger.

i luv when these asshat's (thanks for the new work Pat) try to...............nah, that story will break rules, and i definately don't wanna be the one to get this thread closed. lets just say someone needed their diaper changed (and probably the front seat of his Civic too!). :D

("You're even more of an asshat!").

asshat hahaha :D im gonna use that now! is that canadian? i know them canadians like to say "ass clown" from wwe raslin! haha :D

:icon_hijack: way to go old skool.... :icon_rolleyes:

thanks Curtis. now go finish that skid plate, and i mean comletely finish it! hahahahahaha!

half assed son! that's the way I roll :icon_teeth:

That would be the only reason I would spend the ridiculous amount of money on a BT headset lol.

$20 is a ridiculous amount of money?

http://www.code3tactical.com/ProductthumbImages/casco/cas-7031.jpg i dont know the local laws regarding it. maybe being military police would swing me some lighter treatment if its a no no

Just move to Texas; when the car-carry was passed, they threw knives and clubs into the mix just for fun. You can have a handgun, (concealed) butcher knife and a PR-24 under the seat...and a loaded long gun in the passenger seat if you really want to be sure.

O_o sounds like a lil wyte song haha "glock on the seat, work in my sock, and a CHOPPAAAA on the back seat"

what about like an ak-47? could i have that?

Well since it says in post that its been on the road for about a month, and us Canadians don't believe in driving illegally and half assing skid plates, id say ive had it for about a month. and I had to pick someone to blame this hijacking on and you were the first that came to mind.

and I had to pick someone to blame this hijacking on and you were the first that came to mind.

hmmm... i think we need a gang to represent this site...

bitch im from the :icon_playing: Blaza Fourm Gang! :icon_playing: im gonna start making all the members a $1.98. hahah

Have fun with that... I don't think I'll be making out to the meets lol.

There must be a SERIOUS lack of gangs in nebraska if you have to flip out yourinternet-enabled phone to get call in some of your crew via PM. :icon_laugh:

LMAO... and nothing garauntee's that they will get that PM in time... "Whoa... WHOA... before you kick my ass... you have to wait about 12 hours... Let's sit here in a circle, hold hands and sing koomby-ah, That burning Neon right there from YOUR forum can be the camp fire... anybody bring marshmallows? Okay, Graham crackers?"

"Our top story tonight; Tradgedy in Sudbury. A local man was beaten with in centimeters (Canada after all) of his life earlier this evening following a spat with a rival street gang. The man, nicknamed 'oktain' was a blazer enthusiats a loyal member of the "Blazer Forum". Eyewitnesses describe a brutal beat down after 5 members of a rival gang, Tiburon Place.net, caught him alone outside of Autozone. After a brief scuffle, 'oktain' attempted to PM in some help, but other members of the gang were busy harrassing new members for pictures, or admiring an amazingly designed and engieneered skid plate. 'oktain' was taken to an area hospital and is listed in Serious Condition."

We don't have Autozone in Canada (unless we do and somebody's hiding some serious info from me!).

there goes your "get well soon" card then.... :icon_badrazz:

Meh, in Canada, it's customary to give your sick friend a case of beer and Poutine anyway... so I'm fine without the card... Cardboard doesn't taste good with cheese and Gravy.

you tell him Pat! nothing like the taste of a cold Canadian and Poutine.

and Curtis, you gotta stop sniffing the fumes from the 50 cal & 40mm's, you're never gonna have enough grey matter left to finish fabricating it proper-oh, sorry, too late! :icon_laugh:

at this point, i think the fact that i lied about building a skid plate has been found out. now I have to caulk some aluminum cans onto my factory plate and bluff like hell....

BTW: WTF is a poutine? french pudding :icon_confused:

"Freedom" fries with Gravy and Cheese Curds on it.... mmmmm... Don't diss it, having your arteries clogged has NEVER tasted so good.

'bout f**king time you owned up on that one!

and Pat's right-it's soooooooo good! maybe you should road trip up here, pick me up on the way to Pat's, and we'll feed you some Poutine & some real beer!

Emphasis on Beer...

Emphasis on Beer...

guess we're gonna find out how many 2-4's can fit in a 4 door Blaze.....oh yeah Curtis, if & when you make it up here, we'll take my truck the rest of the way-i wanna make sure we make it up there (not sure yours could run in our conditions up here).

Especially without a proper ski plate and all... I think your truck may be sensitive too, especially with that grille, It's like a pre-teen with acne lmao.

OMFG i = pwned tag team style! :icon_laugh:

it's not 2002... they are french fries son. also gravy belongs on biscuits or mashed potatoes ONLY and cheese curds.... wtf!? why would you put grazy on a cheese curd? thats. just. wrong. no wonder your beer is so tasty, the rest of your food sounds awful... :icon_puke:

as for my half ass skid plate... i may not be a machinist, but i am 100% positive my skid plate is hands down the best fabricated by ANY forum member EVER in the last 2 days and i'd bet my life on it. :icon_badrazz:

also since this was about bad drivers, officially :icon_hijack: way to go old skool :icon_lol:

"Freedom" fries with Gravy and Cheese Curds on it.... mmmmm... Don't diss it, having your arteries clogged has NEVER tasted so good.
sounds weird...

wait, you guys still call them freedom fries?
I think us Americans got too lazy to say two words, so now all I hear is "fries".

Americans got too lazy
ain't that the truth :icon_beerchug:

No, they've always been French Fries... We just sat here shaking our heads in 2002 at everyone south of the border for calling them Freedom fries... Who started that anyway? It's like they were 5 and started calling the kid they don't like some lame ass name.

What was this thread about originally? And seriously, just TRY it. I know it sounds weird but god dammit its good.

Okay... so my Blazer just about got a black eye today...

Ccoming up to this intersection... 2 lanes fan out into 4, the 2 outer lanes being turning lanes... I'm in the left lane to go straight, and there's this dodge caravan in front of me who changes lanes. I got caught up behind someone trying to squeeze into the Left turning lane, and when I finally get by and start speeding back up to the speed limit to make my green light, without warning he cuts me off and almost takes my front bumper off. Naturally I leaned on the horn, I just felt the need to roll down my window at this point, change lanes again, come up beside him, get my girlfriend to hold the wheel straight and using both hands to flip him off. Best part was after... he got stuck behind a backhoe and away I went...

..........come up beside him, get my girlfriend to hold the wheel straight and using both hands to flip him off. Best part was after... he got stuck behind a backhoe and away I went...

son, i thought you were from Ontario!?! we don't need anyone to hold the wheel-that's what your flippin' knee is for!!!

:icon_ditto: !! you missed the perfect opportunity for a Quad-Finger! you two hands out the window, GF ass on window, firing off two fingers over the roof style. mouthing F U FTW!

Sucks you got busted up though! any shots of the damage? why not trade the infos and get yer black eye dressed up on his dime? sounds like a rear ending that you can spin into a swipe?

he got no damage. It's all good.
"Almost" got a black eye.

Curtis just likes to see carage. but i agree with the " GF ass on window ", and the usually "pic's or it didn't happen" applies here Pat, LOL!

whoa, reel it back some Chris! :icon_naughty:
read it again.... i mean sitting on the door in the window frame :icon-badrazz:

If it helps at all, I was hanging out the window somewhat, up to my xiphoid process anyway (see if you can figure that one out lol)... Can't drive with my knee while I'm doing that now can I... or shifting for that matter, that's more than difficult lol.

use the lock stud to pivot on your xiphoid process. will hurt like hell, but you'll have a full 180 degress of area that can get dual fingers :D

Yeah, but what if it snaps and ruptures my heart? I'll come haunt you... and live in that skid-plate of yours

Well, if you have to haunt something, you could do worse than my skid plate.... ;)

and if you poop that bad boy off, so long as it doesn't puncture your diaphram, you will just have a nice soft spot in your chest and a rouge cartilage nub floating in you abdomen...

floating? hmmm...
I have an idea!

:icon_denk:
what do you me.... WAIT DONT!
:icon_eek:

hey Curtis, i'm luvin' it;

"Sig after Thanksgiving
Currently: Basking in the overwhelming love and admiration the entire forum has shown me throughout the 'skid plate' process!
Future Projects: NEVER announcing a future project before it's complete again... :icon_badrazz:"

especially that first part! :icon_laugh:

i think i'm gonna have to create a thread, just to store all of your ever changing sig's!

So, what's next for the Blazer, Curtis? Getting rid of that, uh... grill?

I want another thanksgiving :( And a black friday. And Curtis, better idea, DONT start any more projects lol itll save you embarassment.

even if you were to paint it black and put some gutter guard over those FUGLY horizontal bars it'd look better.

Chris hijacked the thread again!

WHAT?!? agian??? how the hell did i do it this time?...................

Devin: WTF man! :p oh BTW, hows your build coming? :icon_slapcry:

Matt: See "Devin". Then, find me some kid with a street blazer that wants to trade his stock grille for the Street Scene Chromez Girllez yo! :icon_word:

Pat: Gutter guard. Check. Inside BEHIND the bars, or somehow Wrapped over the top?

I was thinking of going with a gun metal grille. Will soften the chrome down but not make the whole front end black (brush guard, bug guard, bumper, skid plate) plus it will giv eme an excuse to do 2 tone camaro rims when i refinish those this winter. :icon_shrug:

Chris: You know, I found out after i left, that a couple of my soldiers kept a running log of the random stuff i would spout off during training and while deployed. They sent me a write up when i got my plaque. It was a rough read :icon_teeth:

re Devin: leave him alone Curtis, he's probanly gonna finish faster than you.

re Pat: i'm pretty sure he meant on the outside, i can't see how you'd even see them if they were on the inside.

as for the write up, you should write it up on a blog or something, and link it t us. it would probably make for a side splitting read, i'm sure!

now, onto my latest report.........

i had a super quick avoidance last weekend-with my truck loaded to the back of my front seats with boxes.
some ass hat (thanks for the term Pat) cut me off & slammed on the brakes in front of me while i was coming down the 400 (the only major highway that heads up to God's country, from Toronto), doing the usual 120-130. when this "tool" flys by me, just misses my front left corner, and slams on his brakes on-right in front of me! i slammed on my brakes & yanked it hard to the left (transport to my right) only barely going onto the center rumble strip, and right back infront of him. the last part was on purpose of course (you guys have seen my "Winter Import Bumper", right?).
could smell the Blizzak's bitchen about the strip i just tore of them (locked up the LF tire on the first "swing"), but the truck settled in instantly, and nothing more happened.
FYI, this "tool" follows me into the truck stop down near King City (10 miles down the highway from where he tried to stop in front of me), and starts going off on how i cut him off when i got onto the highway. turns out this guy was going from the far passing lane, aiming for the merge lane-which is MY lane, to go around everyone else, when i "came into his view" (as he put it!).
my youngest brother is standing there looking @ him, & looking @ me, and my brother is just shaking his head, and tells the guy how lucky he is that i didn't escalate it further by doing it right back @ him! you shoulda seen this guy trying to get in my face. the whole time, my little brother is in between us (knowin if the guy made contact...well, it woulda be over pretty quick), with his fore arm out in front of him making the guy stay back. this must have pissed this tool off greatly, sine my brother is about 80 to 90 lbs lighter than me, that or the fact that i couldn't stop laughing @ him, because of what my brother was doing.

ah well, it's over and done with. i kept my cool (for the most part) and this guy now has to deal with the OPP, aren't cell phones great! :icon_biggrin:

You're down with OPP? :icon_laugh:

You're down with OPP? :icon_laugh:

yeah, you know me! :icon_jammin: :icon_pala:

It's the guy's who cut you off (usually in a civic or some sort of rice burner), and when you lean on the horn they just put their hands up and say "WTF?"... one of these days I'll have an old C/K pickup with a Boss Blade on the front and I'll slice one of those bastards up the midsection with it.

oooooooo! i want pic's of that-infact i think we should get you a dash cam for that. infact, i'm gonna start petitioning he forum for one right away! hahahahaha!

hmmm. take ugly_monkey's car comp set up, i'll send you 2 web cams (want to see your face while it plays out too) and all you need is an external harddrive to collect the evidence. at least the media will have field day withit while you are on trial! Plus a man slaughter rap and a few years in the can will make a man out of you.... :icon_hide:

I look like an idiot in class right now laughing my ass off.

I look like an idiot as well in class laughing my ass off.
Curtis: I dont have any projects going on, im smarter than to announce something I know will take years to accomplish, plus im waiting to get another blazer. Also, leave our OPP alone lol.
Chris: your probably right, when I finally start a project, im sure it wont take that long. Also, im going to take a shot and say it was a BMW that cut you off, imo they are the MOST idiotic drivers out there on the 400 highways.

I was coming back from T.O with my g/f when a BMW came tearing past us dodging in and out of everything he could manage. Me being the "calm" driver got in the middle lane and enjoyed the show. I then proceeded to pass him caught behind a transport in the fast lane and laughed at him for a bit. As I start moving and get back in the fast lane(still like 10 cars ahead of said BMW, I hear tires squeeling behind me, and glance in my side mirror just in time to see the transport hit the centre median, and the bmw taking off like a bat outta hell past me.
Heard on the radio after that 7 cars proceeded to hit the transport that rolled. (luckily nobody was seriously injured)

IDIOTS

GOOD LORD! did you happen to get his tag #? An friggen retard like that deserves to be hunted down and forcibly sterilized.... http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ALp2itqvRanoNM:http://www.desipio.com/images/riviera_nick.gif

*as Curtis whistles through the gap in his teeth* :icon_teeth:

yeah but my knees and back are still tip top even after falling off airplanes with gear on for 7 years :p

Well yet another story:

No Chris, there aren't any pics but it did happen... And I have my Ninja with me so pirating my thread is going to be a struggle.

I was on my way home from school, and as usual I was in the fast lane doing 10km's over the posted limit like everyone else in this city. Suddenly a little turd with a Civic and a wing big enough for me to sleep on flies by and cuts me off hardcore, he then slams on the brakes. The only thing I could do was hit up the turning lane. I ended up jumping ahead of him. Being pissed off and seeing the Peterbilt in my turning lane ahead of me heading my way and flashing his brights, I squeezed in front of the civic and HE leans on the horn... the NERVE! I stop at the gas station to fill up and dipsh*t follows me in... he walks up and knocks on my window. I rolled down my window a crack and let him vent on me about how I cut him off... he sort of stared at me and calmly I said, "None of that wouldn't have happened had you not forced me into the turning lane by cutting me off and slamming on the brakes..." He started going off on me again so I rolled up the window... he started pounding on it, I picked up my phone and pretended to dial 911 (he could see me punch 3 numbers, I did it slow enough while I stared right at him) and put the phone to my ear. I started talking to the non-existant person on the other side while I was staring at him. I looked him over like I was getting a description, then I turned around to get his plate number and finally he decided to leave.

The best part was he tore his fart can off on the speed bump going over it too fast.

DAMN it! you missed a perfect oppotunity! not to get into a fight, to get a shot of some d*ck with a cvic mash up his cannon exhaust! those moments are PRICELESS! too bad you couldn't have done something more "effective" to make him think twice about road raging. im thinking a solid shot to the knee cap would have been in his cards, but hell scary is half the battle.

Curtis is right pat, but i bet you never thought he would've done something as bad as that when leaving.

maybe i can *ahem* loan you my Winter Import Bumper,
http://i996.photobucket.com/albums/af88/old_skool_luvr/HPIM2811.jpg

i'm sure it would've changed his tune, eh. :icon_teeth:

or got him changing his front bumper.

Just a minor post here about my laugh i had yesterday. I left school and when I turned onto a main road a police officer was backing out of a driveway (when I was going TO school 3 hours earlier there was fire truck ambulance and 2 cruisers there...not sure what happened). Me, being the nice guy I am, stopped to let the officer back out, to which she smiled and waved her thanks to me. I then proceeded to follow her down the road which was a posted 40km/h due to the school that we passed doing 70km/h. I left her a curtious 4 lenghts but kept that distance to be sure she was actually doing 30km/h over in a school zone.
GOTTA LOVE OUR POLICE OFFICERS.

So I realize the irony of the title of this thread and the following post. This is really the only place it would fit with out making a new thread so....

It was a brisk morning in December. It was early, but only by the traditional sense of the word, and the day could not be going any better for our young hero. He had completed his morning routine and was now the prettiest kid on the block. With one kid off to school, and the other screaming and tearing at her feeding hole, he looked over at his wife and smiled. What a perfect day, he thought to himself.
With a light step, our made his way to the bland-ass Cheerio's his wife buys and msothered them with honey to make them edible, and methodicly converted solid food material into soft digestable energy.
His wife slipped in to his idyllic morning with a goodbye kiss, and left to get the screaming one off for a routine doctor's exam. Thinking nothing of it, he continued to sustain life through consumption.
Moments later, said wife walked back into the kitchen and announced, "I just hit the crap out of your car. Don't hate me." With this, the morning routine was shattered. Our hero rushed through the door and was greeted with a sight that shook him to his very sole.
Staring at the carnage, he went through the motions of "un-hitting" his driver's side, and moving the offending Explorer (oh sweet irony!) a safe distance away. He then wordlessly signaled his wife to OMFG GTFO and dont BRB FFS! (good thing this was not spoken as my... erm... his ring is a tatto, and an ass flesh skin graft on your hand makes for awkward conversations...)

So there you have it boys and girls. You see just how easily life (and by life i mean the shape of a body panel) can be altered? the blink of an eye that was in no way looking any where near ANY point to your rear where a blue Blazer is clearly parked across the street......

Pictures are included below. red indicates damage already being addressed thanks to a careless previous owner. yellow indicates new custom speed groves and custom paint transfer!

I have a new Driver's door, but all i have is the body panel strip for the rear door (damn 4 doors!). now in addition to replacing the front (i REALLY need to finish that damn thing) now i have to pull a dent and repair the back one! hopefully it will buff out, but i guess a new paint job (in full) is in the cards now. whee!

This is the longest post i have EVER done with out a smiley BTW.

Awww, look at your cute little ACUs... they blend so nicely with the... wait what do they blend in to?

hehe

the same stuff your oh-so-proud-to-be-married-to-a marine uniforms blends with: others dressed like us.... :icon_badrazz:
because there are less marines they were able to get 2 uniforms making it much easier to get a better blend in different locals, but nothing is 100%

lol, I did the same thing to the Army Recruiter... swear to god he blended into the wall behind him almost perfectly. So don't feel like I'm picking on you directly lol. But I couldn't help myself.

And I pick on my Husband's cammies too. Just looks so darn cute in them.

you know Curtis, maybe this will teach you to own a Furd product!

the major question i'm sure weall ahve, is she gonna work it off, or do the repair herself?

Well at least the back door matches the front now lol.

Sorry to see that, but that is what you get for owning a f***... I think profanity is against forum rules, so you know lol.

OSL: Yes, when i do the front door swap she will act as my saw horse supporting the door during pin removal :icon-badrazz:

oktain: :icon_slap: wait... you're right... maybe ill park facing the other way tomorrow! get a nice figure eight look!

F.O.R.D! there i said it. she HAD to have the Exploder when she got tired of a baby seat in the back seat and no room for the stroller with my subs in the only brand new car I have ever owned, my '02 Lancer OZ Rally ed. So she made me trade it for her Silver 4 dr 2wd no frills exploder. FML!

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Go big or go home!

Now what would have been the point of a love-tap? If you're going to hit a vehicle, make the anger and disappointment worth it...right?:icon_teeth:

I hope this :icon_hug: brightens your day! LOL.

then i'll share :icon_razz:

Well yet another story... Overnight we got 20cm's of snow, for my friendly neighbours to the south... in inches, it comes out to a larger number... lol, it's late and I'm lazy. ANYWAY.

Driving to school, not necessarily taking my time as I wanted to ensure I'd be early for my test today and blasting through unplowed snowbanks and drifts and what not, some asshat in an F-250 Superduty decides that he preferred MY lane more than his because a bus was in front of him. Without looking he cut out and just happened to be going half my speed (My speed was the speed limit btw, 50kph, maybe a little fast for the conditions, but 4x4 speeds the road to hot-headedness). Needless to say jamming on the brakes would have been useless.
Leaning on the horn I swerved to avoid him using the turning lane, and of course ended up getting a nice 45degree drift in there at the same time... My girlfriend and my friend were both laying bricks in their underwear as I somehow managed to flip the guy off while sliding by him AND recovering from the what could have been another "I totalled my Blazer" story. This is one of those cases however where it would have been HIS fault as he almost side-swiped me... and god forbid the insurance company gives me what the truck's worth, there's another one just like it for sale in town with less mileage... hmmmm.

thank God for our lightning quick reflexes, eh Pat.

i'm likin' the new sig by the way. guess you & Alex are part of the "Eh Team" now, eh. so who's who? i'm guessing Alex would be "Mad Dog" Murdock.

I call BA Baracus!

I'm pretty sure I already shotgunned B.EH Baracus in a PM to Alex lol... Since Chris has the hands for it, he can be Hannibal lmao. I always forget the other guy's name, he acted in the old Battlestar Galactica series, he was Starbuck.

Yeah, Pat definitely gets B EH. I have dibs on murdock. Feel free to join up guys :)

Lol.. this is ironic... Murdock was always the odd one in the show... and Alex is the odd one out for being the only one from outside Ontario.

i was gonna call BA, but thought i was gonna be too pushy with that-you've only see a little of my bling boys! plus, i've definately got hi attitude. :icon_laugh:

and that's so funny Pat, i was thinking you were gonna hand me the title of the Colonel, hahahahaha! and you're also too young to remember the original Battlestar Galactica. he played "the Face Man" by the way.

Actually the Space channel re-ran the entire series when I was ~ 12 yrs old, I remember it quite vividly lmao, including the robotic dog Moxy that replaced the real dog that got crushed when Caprica was bombed by the Cylons.

Note though that I'm worming my way through the original series of Star Trek as we speak lmao. The attached picture is for you.

Okay im not calling dibs on anyone, I want in though so someone let me know who I can be lol.

lol you and Chris decide amongst yourselves.

Fine I choose, Faceman :)

kk... Chris, don't let your head swell, we're not taking any orders from you anytime soon :P

Sweet, Im Face!!!

i was hoping that pic would come up in the "quote". that was a priceless pic.

where'd you find that one Pat? gotta send a copy of it to my best friend-big Star Trek (original series) fan.

and Devin, if i remember right, wasn't it Face that always ended up getting his ass handed to him in each episode? and wasn't he a "pretty boy" *snicker*


kinda funny, today is the first time i've gotten a notice of a new post here in awhile, wonder what's going on with my notices?

Sorry im a pretty boy lol. But it was also Face who found all the sweet whips that they used so HA. Im good for something.

we'll see................you do remember that they used to get trashed when they were done with them, right? :icon_razz:

if Curtis keeps putting s**t up like this, saying it's Canadian (clearly a European tag on the front), then he's gonna be wearing a tag (tightly) around his neck, that's gonna say, "Idiot gets what he deserves." :icon_laugh:

besides, that's fugly, Pat's truck looks good. he just needs to find better "Turbine's" for it, that's all. :icon_wink:

Okay, I am going to derail the thread to it's original direction.
I was driving down the road yesterday, and I was behind some old fart in a Jag S type. The light turned yellow, and he SLAMMED on his brakes, I had to, in turn, SLAM on my brakes. I got so close to his rear that I couldn't see his brake lights. I blared my horn, and he doesn't even acknowledge me. So, fuming still, when the light turned Green, I blared my horn again. That time he must have turned up his hearing aid because he gunned it. So I catch up and pass him. While doing so, Me and my Bro gave him the Quad Finger. I felt better then. I'm just glad I didn't hit him.

*blah, blah, balh*.......... I felt better then. I'm just glad I didn't hit him.

thanks for that Matt, been slow the last week or so. nothing really exciting happening around my parts (kinda makes for a sleepy drive-boring!)

lol. I guess that sucks. I almost always have an interesting drive with all the "over 80 doing 20 under" drivers around here.

Me and my Bro gave him the Quad Finger.

Nothing can Defeat the Quad Finger!

I googled quad finger, and there was a pic of a guy that had his ring finger chopped off. I'm a little creeped out, now.

well, at least he didn't lose the all important one! :icon_razz:

lol quad laser was from aqua teen hunger force. it was an unstoppable attack. when i called it the quad finger before when suggesting how to deal with your previous a-hole, it was a play on that. i'd be afraid of what quad finger would bring up, and i certainly would not google image that with the wife hovering around ;)

hahahah. I check into this thread every once and a while to see what's happening with it. Everytime it's 100% different.

Here's something new and exciting...

Today I went to school to drop off my final assignment in photography, when I was driving by the exit to the lower parking lot, I noticed a car in the ditch on the opposite side (Gold Nissan Sentra, not that it matters).

I followed the tire tracks from the exit... The exit is a sort of half-assed merge lane that only allows you to merge into the flow of traffic to the right... seems this person decided they wanted to go left... My guess is it was someone who really couldn't drive, there was a car in the oncoming and said inexperienced person FAILED hardcore, probably panicked, stamped on the gas, and went straight across the street with the steering at full lock and into the ditch... Something FWD are known to do is decide that steering isn't a necessity when throttle is applied while turning, hence why I drive a RWD/4WD SUV thank you very much.

I took a picture, but it's late so I'll post it in the morning... I got a good laugh, I think it had just happened too because a security officer was there with the lights flashing when I passed the first time, I didn't have time to pull the camera out at that point, I made the effort to get a shot though on my way out of the Campus, with the thought of "OOOh, this'll make a good story for the thread!" whizzing around in my head.

FAIL! probably someone who was supposed to be at home taking their 40 meds.

No, it was definitely a University student lol, you need a parking card to get into the lot that he/she came out of.

I just noticed the winter tires... Guess they cure control issues on slippery surfaces, but there's no cure for the dumb.

Here's the picture.
