About "takeovers"-- is the goal to get hit by the cars?

No but I did break the roof rack off an explorer hanging onto it driving irresponsibly in a residential neighbourhood. I can still clearly picture James upside down hitting the curb. I remember showing up at the house party we were going to wet and dirty, at this ritzy white house, and being not at all popular, calling a Honda ricer a faggot, getting punched in the mouth, then someone lit some fireworks inside, I got zip tie handcuffed and they took my knife, I burnt the zip ties off with a lighter, got my knife back, and we left.

Pretty sure we left the roof rack there though.:laughing:

Lord no.

I feel like this is a version of that game "knuckles" we all played as a kid, where you'd flick a quarter along the table at one another's knuckles until someone bitched out. In hindsight it was such a stupid game, yet it was pretty common. None of these videos show anyone taking evasive action; they just get creamed by the car.

I don't understand it, and I feel like somebody has to have an answer on this issue. :lmao:

Strange, I only remember playing quarters. Fill cups with beer and bounce a quarter off the table into the beer then pick out who you want to drink it.

Only Nuns hit you in the knuckles :flipoff2::laughing::laughing:
 
Around here G35/G37/350Z are the weapons of choice. Buddy has a neighbor kid that's super into this dumb ass shit, both of his quarter panels are caved in but in a way you can tell that he didn't hit a hard, immovable object. Buddy asked him about it one day and the kid said "They got too close", every dent in the fucking car is from hitting a person mid-donut.
 
Back in the day they were sideshows, not "takovers", and idiots did not run out in front of the cars. We also always "swang it with the doors open" and gas break dipped all the time. I don't think I did a donut with the doors closed till I was in my late 20s. That's how we did it in the bay area in the early 2000s.

Had the old school metal running boards on my square body suburban. We used to climb out the windows and then “surf” standing on the running boards. The truck had those rain gutters above the windows so if you wanter to show off you would have someone roll the windows up and only hang on with your finger tips. How no one fell off is beyond me.

My 13 year old niece was tossed out the window doing that shit.

She woke up in the hospital, her 'friends' stole her shoes before the ambulance showed up.

I have little faith in her future.

Bet she wears a seatbelt now. :laughing:

Back in the mid-'80s I had a friend who thought it was a good idea to car surf on the roof of another friend's station wagon. He fell off and hit the curb head first. He spent the next year in a coma, hooked to machines, then finally died. :frown:

I went for a drive around the lake one night only to find the road closed off by the cops, oh well, turned around and went home.
Next morning my phone blew up with calls that were relieved i answered. Turns out another kid with the same name from the other hs in town was standing out the sun roof of a vw when the driver cut the corner and head on'd another car.


I laughed then as i laugh now when dipshits get what dipshits get when dipshits dipshit.

mumbly peg in east Texas was played with a wooden peg and a 3 bladed knife. two blades folded out straight and one half out. you would flip the knife off of your finger to land sticking in the ground to earn points. 5, 10 and 15 if i remember right. winner got to drive the peg in the ground using the knife as a hammer. looser had to dig it out with his teeth. i watched my buddies cousin give the knife a good flip up high while we are all sitting criss cross when it came down right into his knee.

Not that much different than offroad drunken night time retardation at any large off-road event. Or really being around SXS owners at any moment off pavement.

Completely wrong.
 
Just another example of stupid people doing stupid shit.

Of course....it DOES seem like more stupid people are doing stupid shit. Or, there are simply more stupid people with camera phones to catch their stupid friends doing stupid shit. Who really knows, anymore?

I’m old enough to remember people car surfing after the movie Teen Wolf came out….so no, this isn’t surprising.

Didn’t they delete that scene cause all the idiots? Same with The Program and kids laying on the center line

Also I changed a setting in my Instagram for "less" moderation and Instagram suggests murders/deaths to me now at a insane rate.

what a surprise, flooding someone's mind with death shortens their time preference

I rode in the bed of a 2wd Nissan frontier up comp hill in glamis. Dumbest thing I've ever done and terrifying. If I do one thing right as a parent, its gonna be to teach my kids not to do that.

Geo Tracker with a shredded soft top, I think? Spare tire on the back. I hopped on the spare, legs wrapped around rodeo style, one hand on the flapping remains of the metal soft top frame. Rode around a sand pit with the driver trying to shake me off, doing hill climbs and donuts. Man I was hammered but I clearly remember that.
 
Man, those two on the one side got crushed right above/around the pelvis. They are most likely paralyzed if they survive.

What kind of sissy game of knuckles is that! We would play knuckles by making a fist and cracking the other a crack. Then they got a shot. Till one was done lol

Nice detailed filled counterpoint, you have changed my position on this

I thought maybe you would reflect upon why I might have said this and realized that the biggest difference is right in the title of this thread. These are street takeovers where a bunch of criminals, often in stolen cars, block a road and start driving in an incredibly dangerous fashion. Other drivers are trapped in this mess and if they try to go around or through, they are attacked.

Your examples are off the road, not stolen cars and are generally willing participants.

I thought this might have occurred to you but I guess I have to explain it.
 


This fella too risked his life for a pixilated video that is probably still on the camera. It's only in movies where Billy bad ass can drift and open a twist top with his rear bumper.
I too remember the knucles and quarters, paper footballs and quite a few people kicking each other in nuts in high school. But the worse is how my friend's little brother died, it was ruled a suicide by the authorities. He was found collapsed at the front door of his grandparents house with a belt cinched tight around his neck. When this detail got back to the high school, the question on everyone else's mind "was his zipper open? Hyuck". Supposedly there was some mention of erotic asphyxiation in the TV/movie media at the time that got around the school. Such a stupid thing to happen.
