the cops came to visit us last thrusday

Well it was about 11:30pm last thursday before the roundup, we were tuning the carbs and timing the motor on the roundup a and we were getting some serirous back fire though the straight headers. ( come to find out we had two wires crossed) but anyways, i mean it was loud so we shut it off for a second and then all of the sudden a cop runs up through the garage door and yells SHOTS FIRED SHOTS FIRED. then we all look up and start yelling no no it is just the motor back fireing. so then he gettes on his radio and calls out all units back down all units back down. then i told him we are trying to adjust these 6 carbs and straight exhaust is making it real loud. so he ask how many times did it back fire? so i told him about 20 or 30 and then he got on the radio again and told them it was a motor back fireing and all units back down. then we had about 5 cops pull up and more driving by they must have called the whole swat team i mean they were everywere. SO i had to ask him were he was at when he heard it and he told me he was about 3 miles away and could here it going off and thought it was two guys going at it with guns. and then he said well sorry to bother you i can tell you are busy and left didn't tell us to stop or nothing. we all just looked at each other in shock and fired it up again.

 

Thats some funny ****!

Similar, I once had a lifeflight called out for me in a minor accident when a p***erby panicked when I asked her to call 911!

 

that's the awesomest thing i've heard in a while. In college we used to get lit and fire up the old 70s enduros and do wheelies in the street about 1:30 am. Small town cops were pretty cool about it.

 

Yer' doing something wrong if the Cops dont get called once in a while.

 

Ha ha! Thats cl***ic. Lucky no one got hurt by some trigger happy cop

 

HAHAHA!!! that's some good **** there!!

 

That's too funny...so, did you get it running right after you stopped laughing????
LSM

 

Love the story!!!
I had someone call the cops saying that "an airplane was on fire and went down"(good smoke system)....we were doing the 4th July parade at Lago Vista...( the Feds were notified ...and "nobody" knew who it might have been)...hahahaha, good friends
Good to meet you'all in person this weekend....
Skot (also known to some guys at Kikin as "sir"...hahaha)

 

Funny! I once had the local SWAT team cordon the street off when we were having a water pistol fight. Some old neighbour called the cops and told them she saw a machine gun The cops didn't think it was too funny tho'...

Flatman

 

ahhh, yess!!!

 

That's a cl***ic for sure. Gunna try it again tonight?

 

That is too funny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It reminds me of a couple of years ago
when I was all excited & it was 2am and
I just my Kidneys ready to go on my bird.
The garage door was closed and I was being
about as quiet as I could, Then it happened!
I was runs stock steel wheels on t w/moon
discs & 'now lug nuts Well I slipped & the
lug wrench hit the ground & made loud clank .
Here I am getting the last wheel on, garage door
closed I hear radio noise out in front of the house.
Sheriff says a neighbor heard gl*** breaking, I said
"I didn't hear anything"
They looked around for about 45 mins & then took
off. I knew that I was in trouble when I went back in
and the lady tells me"next time the cops come, they're
gonna have better reason if ya know what I mean!"

 

they probably thought the donut shop was being robbed

 

Im surprised Leslie dodn't show up ..................

 

Three miles away!!??? When i was a kid a friend and I were drawn down on by the cops behind a hardware store; it was about 10:00 p.m. and we were attemting to chisel a hole through the firewall of a '34 chevy coupe that my friend was building behind the hardware store that my he worked at during the day. The owner of the party store next door called the cops when he heard the pounding, he thought someone was breaking into the hardware store. The cops came flying around the back of the stores with no lights on on the patrol car, jumped out with guns drawn. We stood there like deer in the headlights staring at them, they had the spotlight on us by then. Luckily they knew my friend by name and asked WTF we were doing.....

 

The two times in my life I've had a gun aimed/pulled on me for absolutely no good reason, they were in the hands of men with badges and were situations related to cars. The guys wearing uniforms have a real tough job instantly sorting out the important from trivial and good from bad and usually do a damn good job, but an idiot with a gun and a badge sure makes the job more difficult for the rest of them to keep the respect they deserve. Now the times I've had a gun pulled on me for good reasons...

Powerband

 

...it my be a hot rod if.......

that's funny!

about like the iroc z that was running in my neighbors driveway for about 30 minutes the other night and i was talking hot rods on the phone with my grandpa........neighbor calls and asked what's going on...i thought he had ordered a pizza....he called the cops....they came......man had OD and p***ed out.........looked dead........what's this got to do with hot rods......nothing

 

I had cops pull lots of guns on me once.was just after i was married and working as a pontiac tech next town over.there was a speed trap cruiser always parked in the median strip of the highway got used to him being there and used to wave on the way to work.Went by one day after lunch and waved as usual next thing I know I'm being lit up so i pull over within seconds there are 3 cruisers around me and the cop in front levels a riot gun on my windshield with the standard don't move the others also are aiming guns at me .now i'm just a quiet 18 year old kid at this time never been in any trouble to speak of .One cop yells whats your name boy and i honestly was so scared that if it wasen't printed on my uniform i don't think I could have answered him!just a little bit after this one cop says it ain't him I already checked him out it was the cop from the speed trap !Seems that they were chasing a bank robber with the same car, make, color, year etc.and lost it during the chase.Crazy thing is I was driving an ex local police cruiser!Wich is why the cop identified me and where i worked as we serviced the towns cruisers

 

Years ago, some friends and I entered an old Chrysler in a local car show burn out contest. We had spent the afternoon "preping" the car in the back of my buddie's lawn mower shop. We welded the spiders, sprayed some flames and of course, cut the roof off. After a day in the sun and a few beers, it was necessary for us to try it out of course....

So... in the parking lot of the repair shop, we filled the neighborhood with tire smoke. Someone p***ing by called the fire department. The first guy on the scene had NO sense of humor and started *****ing. He wisely shut his mouth when he realized he was outnumbered.

 

Your story made me think about how the twenty-first century might not be so much fun. I went to another site I frequent and swiped a few tales from nineteen hundreds to share. I hope you fine them intertaining. Here goes…

"Story time: As a 19 year old growing up in a town of 4000 which is in the Mid-west there was not a drag strip for 50 miles. But I had a Scotty Fenn 110” Enderely injected, nitro burning, small block FED. It was for the most part a basket case when I got the car. After making all the needed repairs, I was ready to make a test run, but no place to test. So I somehow convinced the police to block off 3 city block in front of my parents so I could make a p***. Squad cars at all intersections with lights going and my crew pushes me toward the fire station which would be my starting line. With a full fire suit on (Diest) and 75% by volume (no hydrometer) in the tank I revvvved er up and dropped the Borg & Beck style clutch and we smoken them old M&H Racemasters. The fire station is about 2 block from my parents I have no idea how fast I was going but I did pull the chute which was a WWII surplus chute that could have stopped a tank. The police ask me if I wanted to make another p***. They only had to ask me once. You have to remember in a quite little town of Havana never before had the sound of a 327 Chevy on fuel made any noise in that town. I guess the noise carried pretty good, when were done repacking the chute and adding fuel the streets were lined with people who heard the noise. It looked like a miniature Bowling Green. Anyway we made another crowd pleasing p*** and got it stopped before Main Street. If you will picture Jr. Fuel car in residential area. That is how I got started in drag racing as a kid. My question is how many want to go back to those wonderful 60’s? "


"Had a jr. fuel car that we ran in the mid 60's. One night I had my wife push me down the street in front of my folks house where I kept the car. She was under the impression that I just wanted to build oil pressure..at least that's what I told her. Had about 90% in the tank unbeknownst to her. Got up to about 30 mph, good oil pressure and hit the switch. Pulled away from the push car, rounded a corner and headed toward home. Just then a local squad car pulls in front of me with the lights on. Naturally I had to stop, but didn't kill the engine. It was dusk and the exhaust had some nice little flames at idle. Cop was talking but couldn't hear him...almost like having a mute ****on. Neighbors are all standing around the car with their eyes watering. Finally cop gives me the across the throat kill signal. Killed the motor and got out of the car. Wife is really upset, gave me look that could kill. Understandable as she is wearing slippers, shorts and a bikini top. Cop says he has a long list of offenses that he could charge me with and that I should put the car away and follow him to the station. My dad had to drive as cop had my license. Luckily the cop had a sense of humor as he only charged me with excessive noise, no lights, no license plates and no turn signals. No moving violations though. Wife is still pissed, she thought I should be thrown in jail with a life sentence. I posted a $25.00 bond and went home. Two weeks later I had to go to court. Wife figures I was about to get my deserved punishment. Judge asked me what happened and what kind of car I had. Explained what happened and described the car. Judge's name is Stoffels and mentions that his nephew builds race cars (Quartermaster). I told him I knew him and that he built the ch***is. Case was dismissed. Wife was not pleased. Thought I was going to have to walk home.

Those were fun days."

"It's the same trip south as the last story ... and we're keeping the car down by the Summers Brothers shop while we're in town ... So this other guy from 'back east' shows up and parks his beater pick-up - and beater trailer out front - his girlfriend was also pretty rough - and his digger wasn't much better... Told us he'd hauled all the way out from New Jersy in 2 and 1/2 days - - and just call him 'THE AARDVARK' ... Well this caught my interest right away - having been a part of the 'give guys animal names deal' - and this might be the 'coolest' one yet... 'Aardvark',(I was just calling him 'Ard' by now), had a cardboard box fulla old 'Bug Catcher' with him, that he'd gotten somewhere, (we didn't ask where), and he didn't have a clue how to set it up... So we had some time and put it together and hung it on his ride ... and - 'Of Course' we had to 'test' it ... So out on the street we go - a four laner with lots a traffic - it was like 7pm or so... We push start while station wagons are cruising along side with little kids staring out the windows with big eyes ... Pull over to the curb in front of some Taco place and mess with it a little - get the flames up to about 4 feet - 'Cruisers' pulling up to look - but we couldn't get anybody to 'go for pinks' And then - - the cops pull along side ... By now the noise alone had to be shaking everything in their car, (including their fillings) ... They look for a minute or so - look at each other and just shake their heads - - and drive away ... They wanted no part of this deal..."


I sure miss the Good Ol' Days

haha what a great story,

reminds me of when i tried to fire up the stock A motor for the first time, had the wires crossed on the #3 & 4 and when i turned it over it backfired so hard that it blew the muffler up, it filled the entire garage with smoke and my neighbor came running in sifting through the smoke asking if anyone was still alive. a mistake i will never make again on an A, lol.

 

Back in the 70's I had my Anglia at the shop I worked at to tune it up for the weekend. We got pretty busy and crowded at the shop, so I decided to take the Anglia to another storage building my boss had about 5 blocks down the street. I was just gonna idle down there, but........ somehow I managed to run it thru 3 gears at about 7000 before I had to shut it down. I got the car inside, doors shut, and had walked about half a block back before 3 cop cars showed up and were circling the block like the Keystone Cops, trying to see what was going on. I managed to keep a straight face and kept on walking. LMAO when I got back to the shop.
Pretty good times back then, my boss had a GMC 6 cylinder, chute pack digger hangin' on the wall of the shop. Where's a time machine when you need it!!!

 

that's some funny stuff.

 

Now thats a good story! Did the cop have any donut stains on his shirt from dropping his glazed donut when he heard those straight pipes?

 

AMEN, brother, AMEN!!!!!!

 

Cops showed up here last week too. I'm the business manager for a small company and one of our employees is a lesbo. Does a good job--no problem. So...she show up here with two dancers she pickup the night before. They were all lit up and while waiting on the paycheck, they were dancing around and acting silly in the parking lot. One of them had on a white teddy and you could see her coochy and ***tis. Oh yes, right here in the parking lot, sure broke up the monotany(sp?). Anyway, I guess someone in the business park was so offended that they just had to call the cops. Can't you just imagine that call over the cop radio. "Naked girls dancing in the parking lot at...." I bet every donut shop in town emptied out in seconds. Two cars with four cops showed up and didn't do ****. Oh well, I hate it when girls get more coochy than I do...hate when that happens!

 

Its not all bad yet.

When I was 18 I was working on my 69' Dart with its wicked solid camed 340, running a heavily tweaked holley double pumper and converting it from the stockdistributor to an accel electronic distributor and Crane Hi6 ignition box. Tried for hours to get the thing to light off. Turns out the brand new distributor is no good.

So I stab the old one back in and rewire it to trigger the Crane box and turn the key...

nnnrrrrt
nnnnrrrt
nnnnrrrt
KABOOM!

I had dropped the distributor in 180 degrees out and had managed to fill the exhaust system up with gasoline fumes during the day. Blew my mufflers wide open and made a huge fireball that came out from under the car and from the exhaust tips.

The worst part was my mother had just parked her brand new white car behind mine and it now had perfect fade from the now jet black front bumper back to white by the rear doors from the fireball.

I got out of the car with my ears ringing and looked ay my moms car and fell down laughing on the front lawn, with my eyes watering from laughing so hard. As I am on the lawn laughing my *** off at my moms car a nice police officer walks above me and asked if I was ok.

He was sitting in his car just down the street and had witnessed the entire thing. I explained to him I couldn't stop laughing because my moms brand new white car wasn't white any more. He just shook his head, told me I am probally in enough trouble and just walked away.

Mom refused to even come outside and look at her car until I fixed it. All it needed was a good wash and wax luckily.

 

ahahaha .......AWESOME!!

 

Just make sure deputy Fife does not get his bullet into his gun, or you will have a shot fired! HAHAHAHAHAH!

 

Now thats funny.
Years ago a friend had a junker, don't remember what it was. But that thing back fired all the time. We were going down the street with a cop next to us and that thing let out a POP. Well that cop almost wrecked his car and maybe even **** his pants. It would have been funny but about a week before a cop was murdered during a routine traffic stop. So I felt bad for this dude.
