You know they just put things like him on the air to get you riled up so you will listen tp their station longer waiting to see if he will phone in a rebuttal.

Let just say they have my fingerprints on file. And the guy I later heard bragged about calling the cops to get me arrested got his cars messed up. One parked at his parents house got rolled (not on it's wheels) down the street by a driverless bulldozer that got loose from a nearby contruction site in the middle of the night. The other a skunk somehow crawled in the trunk, died, and released it's stink. Then a month later the interior filled up with that expanding foam insulation packing foam stuff. The officer that did the illegal search and seizure had to explain how the light rack and wheels disappeared off his cruiser while he was on patrol, zzzzzzz.

Don't know how any of that stuff happened, figured it was just Karma. Did have some friends that always said that when it comes to payback Karma is a Maternal Copulator.

yeah, little known fact, all of the disco ii's have heated seats, they just don't install the switches unless you pay for the heated seats....roverparts sells a cheap kit with the switches to upgrade.

Never been arrested, but I have worn those linked bracelets...and my fingerprints are most definitely in the federal database.

The 911 is running perfectly. I'm almost excited for the swap meet tomorrow.

I have been arrested and fingerprinted.

Did you know that if you tell a police officer to Fuchoff in a courthouse you can be arrested for disorderly conduct? Well, you can.

Lucky for me my oldest sister had $100 in hand to bail my dumba$$ out of jail. When I called my dad, he said "that was pretty dumb, wasn't it?" and "Nope, I don't have any money"?

Best thing he did for me.


Richard-you seem like a guy that I would want on my team, if we were picking teams. Did I mention what a good pic you take as in your avatar?

Got to spend the night in county in a cell with a couple of felons. But judge dropped the charges. Seems a police car backing into the side of a van stopped in traffic, does not give the officer probable cause to search the vehicle.

Think that might have had something to do with him losing parts off his car while he was sleeping in his favorite spot. Can only imagine the feeling he had when he went to drive off and there were no wheels on his car, then get out and the light bar was gone too.

I didn't not even hear about the guy's cars until he confronted me about it claiming I did it. Or the cop car until after he pulled me over and told me he was going to keep his eye on me and better not ever step out of line. When I told my friends about the confrontations they laughed and told me the whole story. Those are the guys you don't want to get on the bad side of. They did that stuff just for fun.

The really funny part of that story...

I was mowing laws, doing high end stereo system installs, doing electronic assembly part time and working night shift part time in a machine shop. One of my stereo install clients, a late 40's banker asked if I could get him a Kilo of really good pot to impress his frat buddies at a reunion. Said I would ask around. Asked this group of guys on the night shift that smoked pot on breaks. Ah the 70's. Sure enough one of them knew a guy and I picked up a Kilo of high grade pot. That buy is another crazy story.

Then a couple of days later I was mowing lawns and had one of my nephews helping. It was a really hot afternoon so we stopped for some icee drinks then went to sit in the shade at the nearby park to cool off. As we are leaving the park this cop car backs into the side of my van, questions my driving and claims probable cause to search my van.

After thoroughly searching the van the cop somehow finds a roach in the bottom of the ash tray. Have no idea how it got there. I don't use the ash tray, it stinks up the vehicle. So, I assume after finding out this guy had called the police and gave a description of me and my van selling pot at the park, he had planted it earlier that day while we were mowing or out cooling in the shade at the park. I think the guy's motivation was that he wanted me to stop dating one of the girls I was dating.

Anyway, the police thoroughly searched my van before turning it over to my dad and brother that had come to pick up my nephew. Then after getting it home my dad and brother tore the van apart searching for more drugs. They found none.

Now for the first funny part. The chick this guy wanted me to stop dating was suicidal and I was just waiting for someone else to come along for her to latch on to so I could move on without all that crying suicidal break up bs stuff. If he would have just told me he was interested, heck, I would have helped.

Now for the really funny part to me. Neither the police or my dad and brother actually tearing apart the van found the kilo of primo pot that was in it at the time. It was in the grass catcher of one of my lawn mowers! Good thing they didn't have many drug dogs back then.

Ought to make a movie, eh?

Morning Y'all,
Funny thing about all the times I have been arrested, I never did any of the stuff I was charged with. Like the time I was arrested for threatening a neighbors boyfriend with a deadly weapon........I had my cell phone in my hand.
If I had ever been arrested for the crap I HAVE done, I would be a ward of the state with three hots and a cot.
I was never stupid enough to get caught when I was actually doing crap I could get in trouble for.

Morning, Rick.

I have received orders to accompany my better half over to the tidal basin this weekend to check out the cherry blossoms. The city is starting to perk up after a long dreary winter. Kind of like putting lipstick on a pig, but hey, anything to make this place look better.

The dogwood trees here are in full bloom and it is great to see, unfortunately it is also lawn mower season. Why oh why did I buy a place with an acre of grass that I never use? When I was drinking I used to love cutting grass, ride in circles and get faced, now, not so much

Your basement is outside???


OK, I gave in to temptation and gave the 911 a quick bath this morning. We are heading out to the swap meet in a few. Sun's coming out and it's going to be in the 60s.

Yeah, Saucy, today's gonna be a good day!!

Later on fellas!!

You ain't gonna believe this but there is water just falling out of the sky. It is strange. The aliens are up there on the other side of the clouds dining something to cause it. It must be some high tech thing to transport water up into the sky and dump it. Just weird.

Glen, Richard, it looks like the big hail went north of you all. We had mild thunderstorms and heavy rain. More thunderstorms today. i don't like when it changes from the 40s to the 70s in a day with thunderstorms in tow and the sky has an odd color to it. The rain was heavy enough to wake me up and I slept through a car accident once. Though like Rick a car door or footsteps in the hallway will wake me instantly.
Don't have a Porsche anymore, so spending time on a Porsche forum is to confrontational, as it reminds me of not having a porsche anymore.

I'm into guns now.. they are faster then Porsches and more useful in the upcoming zombie apocalypse.

Besides, as long as the thread keeps going strong, i'm leaving it to y'all to keep draining Wayne's servers with it. .
If i could get 1 dollar for each reply in this thread... i could get me a good running and rebuilt early 911 in no time.

Or maybe Wayne should just buy me off and kill this thread
it would save him more money in terms of diskspace , cpu cycles and bandwith on his servers

My parents say when they move to Az they want an acre with NO grass!

Right now they mow about 5... Dad tends to go overkill on things, so they have a $16k 60" cut commercial ZTR!
