Event Coverage I made it in my ranchero to Austin!

I got here at around 1pm and just stopped by A.S.S. Nice bunch of guys! Now were roaming the streets and scoping this town out!

 

Bad ass, Eric. Glad to hear you made it with no problems. You're going to dig Austin....

thats awesome... take lots of pics! How long did it take you?

 

Took about 17 1/2 hours total. We did a 10 hour drive yesterday stopped at around 1:30am and stopped in fredeicksburg for the night. I had a crazy ass truck driver messing with me for about a 100 miles! I let him pass me up cause he was flying, he would then pull into he slow lane and slow the he'll down. I'd then pass him in the fast lane and he'd speed up again. And try to catch me he'd then get close to my car and swerve into me! I'd slam the gas and get the hell away and would get miles ahead of him and start crusing at my regular speed again and guess who would come flying trying to catch me again about 15-20 minutes later? The final straw was I let him pass me he then pulls far ahead and then slows down and so I use my blinkers and get into the fast lane and pull past him....this guy let me get right next to his rear bumper and then swerves into me and locked his brakes!!!!! I had to lock mine and when he pulled back into his lane I slammed my gas and pulled past him and made sure I never let him get close to me or near me! I pulled offthe freeway and he followed me!!!! I pulled into the gas station to see what the heck his problem was and he literally just waited at the intersection waiting for like 2 minutes then he turned towards the big rig gas station. It was like duel! My father was a bus driver and I'm curtious to big rigs and large autos. I use my signals and am curtious to other drivers, I did nothing to provoke this guy. Worst part is I tried waking my buddy up to tell him and goes back to sleep!!! He finally woke up and caught the tAil end of drama and was like WTF?

 

SO what happened??? Did he get out of his rig??

 

Some of the Sinners phoenix left and ran into Ft Stockton to party and should be arriving in Austin this afternoon.. should be a good lil caravan.

 

Nope, he waited at the stop sign waiting for a bit, staring for a bit and finally took off!

We filled up and went looking for him and found him fueling up. He was an older white guy (60's), real tall, long white hair! We drove past the gas station and stopped, had to have seen us as he wasfacing us fueling, I saw he was fueling so I high tailed it on the freeway to get way ahead of him! Only thing inhad to worry about after that was tons of deer next to the highway for the next 45 minutes on highway 290

 

Glad you made it there safe Eric.

 

was it an old rusty diesel truck?

 

Life imitating art

 

For those of you interested I sent pics from my phone to a buddy over on the Los Boulevardos site. It's in the general topic area.

 

What's the movie were Patrick Swazey and Meatloaf are truck drivers?

breaker breaker.

 

This guy had white line fever and was trying to stay awake?

 

Far out eric.. Glad you made it safely. Too bad we couldn't hook up on your way out.. Thanks for trying.. If you run into frankie (missprint) tell her i said hello and she will have her skirts shortly.. Have a blast in austin!!!!!!!!

 

When you get back home, rent the movie "JOY RIDE", and you'll be very wary of whacky trucker actions.

Glad you made it safely, have a great time.

 

That movie was "Black Dog". I always liked it.

 

It's pouring here in Austin, hopefully we get a break for tomorrow!
I hit the swap and checked out some cars.
Also ran into Dreadman and met Sandy from the Choppers. I also met BenD he's heck of a nice guy! Ran into BobK last night on congress and met Squeeg Bell who was swapping starters on his 40 ford, he was heck of a nice guy as well! You Texans are really good people! I feel comfortable as hell! So much to do in this town it's like back home "Los Angeles"!

 

tell Dreadman to call me!

 

Bienvenidos! You're gonna have a good time and the sun WILL shine.

 

Did your truck driver look like an older version of this guy? Or maybe the monkey?

 

The truckers wife ran off with a guy in a Ranchero???

 

ha actually the driver looked like a tall built younger version of the creepy old guy from. Polterguist 2!

LOL White Line Fever! LOL bobby green has that poster up at his bar Stinkers!

Bigdaddy, will do, probably going to run into Chris tonight at the Jade Idol show.

 

Not White Line Fever, that was Jan-Michael Vincent.


This pic is of BJ and the Bear!!!


...your guy looked like this?...


...and Ramblur, you're thinking of "Breakdown" with Kurt Russell

 

...and yes, I lead a dull existence, tied to my recliner with my worthless leg suspended in the air...

 

Hey Eric, Maybe you should change your HAMB name to DENNIS WEAVER !! Glad to hear you made it safely to Austin.
60'

 

Glad you maid it there safe. Take loads of pics and hope the trip home is safe aswell.

 

Just got in from Austin, we did it in one shot! 23 hours straight!!! we stopped every 2 hours to refuel, cause i have no gas guage boy did i have fun! i plan on making it a yearly ritual!! im pooped and will post pics later tonight!!

 

no problems w/ truckers on the way home hopefully?

 

NOPE!!! no problems with truckers on the way home!
for anyone whos curious...its hell of a nice drive!!! i just got home from a 23 hour drive so let me rest and i'll get all my pics and vids up!

 

A couple .45 mags emptied into the cab of that shitbag's truck would have made the trip a bit more interesting. don't you think?

He was using his truck as a murder weapon, so a little return fire would have been warranted.

How many single car accidents do you think that maniac might be responsible for?
