Wedding present
« on: July 07, 2011 - 06:06:47 PM »
A friend and I were at a car show last year.  He owns a beautiful F50 pickup with a 460 inside.  I kept telling him that my Cuda would beat him in a run.  So as the car show goes on we keep being cocky to one another.  As we are leaving the car show he is in front of me and I punch it.  He tries to keep up, but I lose him.  Eventually I am so far in front of him that I can no longer see him in the rear view mirror.  FYI, we are on a long, straight, desolate road without any cars around.  He then calls my friend in the car with me while I am still crusin' @ 100mph or so.  He yells "Pull Over! There is a cop coming after you!"  So I hook it onto a side road and then another.  He told me that the cop tried to follow me, but I was too far ahead of him when I turned.  So, a few weeks later we are sitting at the bar in the town this all happened and a guy was talking about the car that ran from him (He was the cop).  He went on to say it was a green muscle car and where it happened.  My friend with the F50 got drunk enough to tell the cop who was chasing me that I was the one driving.  The cop couldn't do anything about it, but I told my buddy I would get him back...

Well fast forward a year.  My friend invited me to his wedding, so 15 minutes before the ceremony started I did this in his driveway.  I put this picture in a get well soon card and and gave it to him as his wedding present from me.  He said it was the best wedding present he received.

Great story.  I love it when fast cars get away from the cops.  Especially Lime Green Mopars!  Nice car by the way.  Your friend sounds like a dumbass.  I'm glad you got him back and in such a gear head fashion!!!

They do indeed. When and wear I grew up, they'd think nothing of taking the nightstick to the car if you embarrassed them, or, if you really embarrassed them, taking the nightstick to you. And yeah, I received both. On the plus side, it made me a better driver.
