Lots of weird stuff happens in Bakersfield. Whatever ya do, don't try a high speed chase there.
the cops there will end up re-loading a dozen times before they stop shooting bullets into your dead carcass. They will make sure you are dead and make sure you have a weapon. One dead guy was found to have 14 pistols stuffed into his trousers
j/k
I was staying in a cheap motel off the freeway there in the mid 90's and some clowns tried to rob a bank in the valley and head north. Big mistake, the cops forced them off the freeway right in front of my motel and opened up on them. I was hiding behind the bed, musta heard 500 rounds going off before the cops ran out of bullets. A bunch went through the hotel walls but none got into my room.
BTW What do you say to a good looking girl in Bakersfield?
"You ain't from around here, are ya honey?"
