It’s a different ballgame now... but..

[kevcat]

...years ago, before cellphones, texting, video cameras..etc, things were totally different.

I’m just curious for guys my age or older, how close you may have come to getting into real trouble.

Back in the 80’s, a buddy and me used to go to a bar in Cincinnati every Wednesday night because they had a 50 cent longneck special. This was before the craft beer stuff. It was strictly Coors Light, Miller Light, Bud Light, Budweiser.

At any rate, we decided one night to have a contest to see who could drink the most beers before the place closed. Well, I ended up drinking 22 to his 20.

He had to pay me 25 bucks. However, I drove, so I had to drive him back to Independence where he lived. I dropped him off and then got back on 25 to drive home to Walton. Well, as soon as I made the turn onto 25, I saw blue lights in my rear view mirror.

I pull over. Keep in mind it’s 3 in the morning. The officer asks me for license and proof of insurance. I show him both. He then tells me that the reason he pulled me over is because I have a tail light out.

I respond by mumbling that I didn’t know that. He then says that I need to get it fixed and if I don’t that the next time I’ll get a ticket. He never asked if I had been drinking, or why I was out driving at three in the morning. Crazy stupid stuff. I still had to drive ten more miles to get home.

That was 30 years ago. Just totally stupid. Just curious if anyone else has crazy stories like this that they got away with.

When I was in middle school, my friend and I dared a kid to stand on the side of a road and throw a large rock at the next car that drove by. Idiot did it...and we all took off. Luckily no one was in the passenger front seat or they would have been seriously hurt or killed. Still think back on that and thank god no one was in the front seat.

We hid out at a friends house for an hour and then walked back home like nothing happened. Cops were at our house waiting for us and talking to our parents. Kid was a trouble maker and cops already knew his family. Cops believed us that we did not have anything to do with it.

I shot a man in Reno...well, you know the rest.

It’s crazy the stuff most of us got away with once.

It really is. Wow.

There isn't enough room in the Paddock, nor do I have the time to start. Just say I am impressed that I am not in prison or dead.

I think back and it's a wonder half of my friends aren't dead yet. Just for drunk driving, I can recall many times waking up and not remembering how I got there. It's pretty scary to think of now.

I think the one with potentially the worst outcome was during our middle school years we camped out on one kids farm and went walking down a gravel road in the middle of the night. We saw two cars pulled over at a river crossing in the moonlight and saw people in and around one. We started spying on them and they heard us. They were several grown men that jumped in their respective cars and left like the Dukes of Hazard. They went in opposite directions and we thought it was funny that we had scared them. Walking back we rounded a corner to see that they had stopped and waited for us. Some guys were on foot, one started the car and tried to hit us. We all knew the area and managed to get away from them by splitting up and running through the woods and hollows. We didn't find all of the group until the men had left near dawn.

As a kid I would visit my grandparents who lived in Pike County, KY almost every Christmas. Pike was a dry county and all you could get was bootleg and moonshine. I was about 15 and one of my cousins about the same age had a jug of moonshine and we started drinking it. We decided we wanted to go to town and "town" was Williamson, WVA which was 15 miles down the road. Williamson was a wide open town with plenty of bars and nobody checked IDs back then. They sold two types of beer, 3.2 percent and 6 percent. 3.2 was for people 18-21. Over 21 you could order 6%. We always got the 6%

So we had no car and decided to hitch hike and it was about 25 degrees. About 9:00 PM. My cousin was pretty high and we caught a ride on a truck that had high rails for hauling horses. We got on the back and started down the road when we saw blue lights flashing from a Kentucky State Police car. The lights were not moving, my cousin said they are after me and it is a road block. So he jumped off of the moving truck and scared me so I jumped to. We ended up; down a hill in a frozen creek. I landed on top of him and he almost drowned. Don't ask me how I survived my youth. It had to be because the Lord loved me. .

If that's your crazy story you've led a quiet life.

Good for you.

At 16, my cousin and I got some Ripple and proceeded to run out of gas on I-71. State trooper saw us walking and stopped. Said to me...You must be Tom's boy and he is gonna beat your azz when he finds out. Proceeded to take us to my home which was 8 or so miles away. Let us out a block away and said "good luck boys". Dad never said a word, even years later, ha.

When i was 21 my buddies and i headed to the bars at a college town about 30 miles away. It was the early 90s. We were all drunk. I bet one guy i could climb out of the car on the passenger side rear window and climb back in the rear driver side window by going a cross the top of the car. We were driving on the interstate

Well, of course i climbed out of the rear passenger window and layed flat across the top of the car thinking i was pretty cool at 70mph. When i was ready to try to get back in through the rear driver side window i realized i had nothing to hold onto to crawl back in. I pannicked and told them to stop the car but they laughrd and kept going. Finally, the other 2 guys in the backseat helped pull me in. They thought it was funny, i was scared shitless.

By the time we got to the bar my buzz was gone. I sat at a table with a beer and a girl walked up to me and said are you the guy that climbed on top of the car on the interstate? She ssid they were behind us when i pulled my stunt. I said yes and she basically told me i was an idiot.

It's a miracle i didn't get killed that night.

Going back to & before my ancient time, when drunks had wrecks they wouldn't arrest them but help them get home. Dad & friends used to laugh about incidents like this all the time.

Not that I didn't drive loaded, but this happened not to me but with a friend of mine in early in early 1970's inside Cincy no less. He banged his car lightly into a pole & cop helped me. His arm got pretty messed up.

Drove back to Louisville from several summer Riverbend concerts during college. Always with 3 or more friends lives in my hand. I was the best drunk driver, but I was still drunk which was so freaking stupid, especially with a long drive and tiredness creeping in.

Man, I hate to be a "one-up" kind of poster but you guys and your weak azz stories are just lame.

I went to Vegas once for a buddies bachelor party. We got really drunk...and apparently a "lone wolf" amongst us slipped us some roofies thinking it would make the night more interesting.

Anyway...one friend wound up taking a trip to the ER and we actually lost the groom to be. We broke into Mike Tyson's estate and stole his tiger...who ate our car and almost ate us. We also stole a cop car and drove it down the sidewalk...for which the cops tazed us then let us go free. We also got beat up by a ghey, naked Chinese gangster whose thugs almost shot us. Let's see, what else happened that night...oh yeah...one of my other buddies pulled out his own tooth and then married a stripper/escort chick.

Not only did we live through all of that...we actually made it to my buddies wedding on time. And then we did almost the exact same stuff a couple of years later on another bachelor party escapade. But this time it was in Bangcock...and it was a finger instead of a tooth that a buddy lost and one of my friends got a Mike Tyson tattoo on his face and had sex with a tranny. Other than that...it was pretty much the exact same experience.

We know how to party, bro!!!

Ok, hate to say it, but you probably know it’s coming....

Pics or it didn’t happen......:stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

I stuck it in crazy and survived.

 

[DoyleHargrave1]

Was at a keg party off campus in Richmond (1992ish).... Me and my buddy was leaving about 2 AM or so..... Before we left figured it would be a good idea to fill up some of them 32 oz big gulp type cups to go because i didn't have much beer back at my apartment.... I was driving a rusted out CJ-7 Jeep that we had taken 4 wheeling earlier that day....The floor pans were gone in it....large holes everywhere. I got blue lit pulling out around church hill apartments.....as we were coming to a stop we poured the beer out the holes in the floorboards...... We were both drunk so it was a bad situation. When the cop gets out of his car to approach mine I noticed his car was rolling backwards..... When he got to the window I told him his car was rolling off and he sprinted to catch it and put in in park. When he got back I think he was a little embarrassed and just told us to go on.......then, as he was heading back to his car he shouted back to me that I might want to get my jeep checked out because it was leaking something pretty bad......:beer:

Yes, I have several "incidents" that would have been big trouble today with our social media, cell phones, everyone videoing everything, etc. I won't type out the entire stories, but let's just say that several Spring Breaks, wild driving, all out brawls, and lots of property damage were involved. Most of this being back in the 1980s.

 

[fuzz77]

More than I can count but probably the "worst" was a group of 4 of us in high school out drinking/driving and the driver (not me) rolled the car down a levee turning over one and a half times landing on the roof. We all escaped uninjured and the cop, a state trooper that came to the scene gave us all rides home with no citations written. He even let me out of the car about a half block from home so that my parents didn't see me getting out of a cop car.

 

[Catman100]

I would need a scientific calculator to be able to calculate how many times I drove drunk and got away with it.

But my best story is probably sitting in the back seat of a Mustang GT racing a Mustang SVO on the old road in Prestonsburg Ky near the hospital. We came around a curve and sure enough there's a state trooper road check. They actually had to dive out of the road so they would not be hit. My buddy stops the car a few feet past them and before he can put it in park the troopers have the door open and are pulling him out of the car. They almost choked him to death with his seat belt. As they take him back to their cars, my other buddy and me start downing beers because we know we are going to jail, might as well get even more **** faced. Two seconds later our buddy gets back in the car and we take off. He has never had a drink in his life and he blew a 0.0.
We pulled off the road a couple of miles later and laughed our asses off. No way I would have let us go if I was one of those troopers. Jail time just for making me dive in the ditch.

Nobody believes that story. lol

These are pretty lame...but thats a good thing. Im not gonna ruin this thread by posting some real stories

 

[UKGrad93]

I was 17 and out driving around. I pulled into the elementary school and did some donuts on the playground. It didn't hurt anything as the grass was all brown and dried up. Someone called a sheriff and my parents and said it looked like my car. I just denied it. No proof.
