90 in a 55 and gets a police escort. Riiiiight, that totally happened
Idk… my dad was test driving a Saleen a bit fast and got pulled over. The cop walked up and just said, “Test drive?” Pops said “Yeah,” cop goes “follow me.”
Took us to this winding road and the two of them bombed it at around a hundred, cop had his lights on the whole time. As a kid, I thought it was pretty cool. Now I think all the adults involved were reckless jackasses, lol.
For sure, just one of those moments that you look back and realize how goddamn reckless it all was. It was probably the only time in my life I ever felt sorry for a car salesman. He was new and sweating bullets. The car computer would adjust to the driving to output more power, and he was worried his boss would notice.
Why does no one believe this happened? I’ve seen lots of stuff like this. In fact I once got a police escort to a Type O Negative concert in an almost similar fashion.
Between the Papa’s Pizza and the Type O Negative I feel like this thread was made for me personally…
I say this as a man in a Type O shirt with a bottle of Papa’s Ranch in my fridge.
I don’t know why people don’t believe this story. One time my buddy and I raced each other to a local bar and whoever lost had to buy the drinks. Anyway, I’m doing 60 in a 35 MPH zone when I see the flashing lights behind me. I pulled over and gave the cop my story, and wouldn’t you believe it the cop escorted me to jail.
That definitely happened, cops don’t care about road safety at all
I’m confused, it sounded sarcastic but like… Do you think cops care about road safety or not?
Cops don’t care about road safety. They’re playground bullies with guns who get to terrorise the people who actually passed high school, as long as they protect Capital from protests and uprisings, and keep black people beneath white people in the social order by catching slaves for the prisons.
Glad I asked, I found the story believable for that same reason but wasn’t sure if you were sarcastic.
Traffic cops could be a huge help to social order, but nah, rather just be petty tyrants who bring cash into the city via the laziest means of ticketing possible.
Lemmy, let’s not bring over that reddit /r/nothingeverhappens bullshit. If you don’t believe it, cool keep it to yourself. Otherwise it’s just a funny post, move on.
Been seeing a ton of this nothing ever happens attitude lately
I’d guess the “nothing ever happens” people are young.
When I was in my early 20s, I met my dad for the first time. He’d tell tall stories I could not believe. Not long after I had a roommate the same age, same tall stories.
Now that I’m that age, I got tall stories. If you choose an adventurous (slightly irresponsible) life, and get off the couch now and again, life is truly stranger than fiction.

No you haven’t.
I frequent c/GreenText and people have that attitude all the time, including when the post is about the most normal shit you would hear from a boring friend.
