Headlights flashing
 

Hey all-

Apparently, the street gang, the Bloods (organized crime gang, drugs etc., very large, thousands and thousands of members all over the country and lots! here in so. cal) have an innitiation going in on the bay area and so cal- who knows where else, at least as of recently.

The initiation for new members is as follows: drive around with another "pledge" brother with your headlights off. First car that flashes lights at you must be chased down and killed. I don't details/ much else but . . .
So, just be careful- it's a crazy world and this thing is SCARY- even if it happens minimally, ya never know. I don't live in fear but, this year, Ill only be flashing my brights at other air-cooled beauties!

Anyway . . . back to the Porsche!
See ya on the New Year's Run! Hopefully it won't drizzle this year and we will have no accidents of tickets! Which bring me to another question, JASON CULLEN, did you ever customize the lic. plate on the mean green machine (930)??

old news.

:rolleyes:

urban legend

"Old news"

So what? Are you implying that everyone is aware? Not true.

dell dude got busted with pot!!!

I flash my lights after every radar trap, the police love it

The "don't flash your headlights" e-mail story (fairy tale) was the first urban legend I recall receiving....in 1996.

www.snopes.com is your friend.

This is a joke, right? Please? SmileWavy

Urban legend of not my father is pretty tied in and, ***as you know, urban legends tend to be pretty attractive to re-create to young people trying to create "crazy" "cool" "tough" challenges/ hazings etc- the whole copycat thing ya know-


Point is, as a judge who has recently (actually, as we speak) sitting over a trial of two men who did this and have shared recent rehashing of this insane hazing, Im just sharing it as I hear it- it it actively going on- at least once in a while- that's enough for me-

I hear ya on the it's an old story but kids often dig on this kinda stuff and want to "try it out"- two just did- anyway, flash if you wanna! especially at 911s!

Judge's name? Court? Link to newspaper article?

This is the epitomy of a "choking doberman" story.

Bring it on, I'd be standing in a pile of brass up to my knees....

It's kinda funny when you think about it, if someone did chase us, we should be able to evade them in the twisties!

Don't urban legends belong in OFF TOPIC? :rolleyes:

The basic elements of an urban legend invariably are that it never happened to the person recounting it, only to "a friend," "a relative" or, most frequently, "A friend of a friend." And that the friend or relative is of some assumedly admirable occupation--a priest, an airline pilot, a cop, a college professor, a judge. Nobody ever quotes a hooker, bartender, drug dealer, care salesman, magazine writer...

Is there anyone here who didn't know this was an urban legend in the 90s? When the Bloods and Crips were real news?

Well..apparently there are two. :D

Admirable occupation and airline pilot in the same sentence...Interesting! Speaking as an active airline pilot..."There ain't nothing admirable about being gone from your family and working for a company on the brink of bankruptcy. Unless you really like flight attendants and free pens (ill gotten booty from Delta hotels). Perhaps it should have been included in the last sentence along with hooker, drug dealer, etc...:):):):)

Don't drive at night. Problem solved, whether it's true or not. We don't drive at night in LB unless it's necessary. And then, about 1/3 of the city is off-limits.

Yeah, you can move this to OT, but the fact remains that one doesn't want to bring attention to one's self these days.

Hoss, I usta make my living flying, so I was just trying to advance my cause...

Think about it. It doesn't even make any sense. If your a banger with tats and colors driving armed to the teeth in your six hundred dollar primered vehicle, the last thing they're going to do is drive with their lights off for fear of being pulled over. When they drive outside they're territory they're going to get pulled over anyway.

Yeah, I certainly can't complain too much. Beautiful wife, two kids and a Porsche in the garage for "nice days". Good thing I get pens and tiny soaps for free.
Merry Xmas.

The good part is hopefully they will drive into a tree chasing us, thus thinning the populations per darwin's theory.

Uummm - is that the pens or the flight attendants you're referring to?

Sounds like a nice place! I'm glad we're allowed CCW's here...makes nightime driving a pleasure.

Ya' know there's a guy that woke up in a hotel room bathtub filled with ice and his kidney had been cut out!

Well, jeez, that'd be just another sporting chance to remove a thug from the planet down here.

Y'all need a little backbone, son.

It's amazing that in the age of the internet on every table that there are still people who have never heard stories like this or believe them.

Hey, have you heard that car loads of white people are being gunned-down by gang-affiliated minorities and that news organisations are refusing to report the incidents?

Don't you think that you would have read about it somewhere other than the internets, homie? :rolleyes:

At any rate, I live in urban L.A. and constantly see cars driving in the pitch dark w/ lights off. I do not "flash" them, I beam them steadily w/ my illegal high-beams and then cut my lights completely so that they're as blind as Stevie Wonder. (Shrunken pupils+ darkness). Where I live they are usually "recent arrivals" from rural parts of the world, (Koreans mostly, but also Mexico/Central America), no license and no one showed them where the light switch is(?). Even after I sear their eyeballs, they drive away blind in the dark with their thumbs up their asses.

Have you heard the one about the new Corvette for $300?? Seems this guy had a heart attack and hit a snow bank, no collision damage but no matter how hard you scrub the death smell won't disappear. This one has been around since the paleolithic age, the 'vette was a dinosaur w/ a saddle, but you get the idea. Story still works as a dipschit test in 2006.

Precisely why a harvest gold Ford Ranger is our daily driver. There's a gadzillion of them out there.

L.B. ain't bad, just there are areas that are better than others. North of PCH it's a craphole - if that part of town fell into an earthquake fault tomorrow it probably wouldn't be too big a loss to the world. Between PCH & 7th is marginal. From 4th to 7th is tolerable and south of 4th is fine. At least in my experience.

The Pike gets crappy at night, particularly in the summer or on the weekends from all the gangbangas from Compton and other such charming little communities nearby going down there to hang out. Same with the clubs on Pine. Fine if you like that ghetto-esque "club scene", which fortunately I don't. Spending lots of money on "bling" and overpriced, watered-down booze to pretend to impress indifferent members of the opposite sex while risking the ire of potentially armed and dangerous other suitors ain't my idea of a fun time. . . but whatever floats yer boat.
