getting followed home.

Sometimes it's hard to be smart and think rationally when you're freaked out

[smerfs]

I would have followed him home

+1

slow down enough to where the guy is directly behind you, get behind his car, and then start doing the same. It will either piss him off royally and make the situation far worse, or he'll get freaked out and leave. I've done it once and it worked to my benefit.

My ninja and assassins creed skills negate this statement.

I was followed by some thugs, pulled up right next to us, robbed my friend and I with a pistol. Told me to throw out the keys and put our heads down. Then they sped off. Scariest thing when I saw the gun pointed at my chest...
Never fight back unless you're looking for some trouble.

Keep an eye on your car, they could be after it.

No. It's an E21.

As soon as someone see's what street I live on the steer clean lol

[george graves]

Ha! Yea, I've been followed home by someone....and at then end of the chase - had a gun pointed at my head.

Now here's a little story I gots to tell.....

Rewind to 1990 - I was 17? I was driving a really mint e21 - two 12" subs, and a killer Alpine deck -the removable kind - that you would grab a handle and it would slide out so you can hide it or take it with you) and some speakers - about as pimp as it got back in the day.





I was hanging with friends, they all went home - but I was a bit restless. I had been thinking of upgrading the e21 to something a bit faster (e30's were still brand new then - and the local BMW dealer had one M3 and kept it in the showroom for years)

I had saved up a bunch of money working my ass off every weekend videotaping weddings when my friends were out having fun, so I had a bit of cash to play with - but the only car in my price range that was really interesting was a VW GTI. I think there was a saab and a XR4ti in there as well. But I digress.







Anyways, on the "car dealer row" at the end of the main street was all the car dealers - they lit those lots up like a Christmas trees as night. No really, you could do surgery it was so bright. So I drove by, and they happened to have a GTI sitting on the lot. I had been to that exact car lot a week before looking at a used mx-6 - Talked to a sales man, did a test drive, it wasn't for me. Out of my price range anyways.



So bored and not wanting to go home, I drove by the dealer lots again that night ....that I had been so many times before, and I saw a golf GTI sitting there....So I pulled into the lot - into the sales lot. I parked right behind the GTI for sale.

Got out, looked the car over for a good 2-3 mins. I'm on the ground looking for oil leaks the whole 9 yards. I try looking at the mileage, but can't read it through the glass. I noticed the door is unlocked. Ok - no problem. I've been here 20 times before, I have the business card of my sales guy. So.....I'll take a peek. I open the door, read the mileage - it's high - a commuter car. Oh well. I look at the seats - OHhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Those look nice. I wish I had those in my e21 over the horse hair comfort seats that all US spec e21's had(they are horrid BTW). So I sit I take a seat.

That's when there is a KLUNK KLUNK on the read window. It's a security guard. "Hey man, you can't be on the lot after hours dude - that's against the rules" -------- Scared the crap out of me, " I say - sorry man....just looking at the car....my name is George...I know your salesman(say his name)....I've been here before...blah blah blah. "no man - it's after hours" I get in my car and drive away....The security guard watched me was I drove away.

I hit up the arcade before I leave and play a game some of you might remember.



I leave the arcade a few blocks from my house....and as take a turn to head to my house off of the main road, a car start tailing me - I'm still a good 3-4 mins from home. I still have lots of twists and turns to go before I get home, but this guy is on my butt. Like super glue. So I assume I'm going too slow for his one-in-the-morning needs and I speed up.

I'm now doing 50 in a 25. Nope, now he is even closer up my rectum. No cop lights - it's an older American car - so could be anyone - I know it's not a cop, cause they would have turned on the rollers by now. I'm still a long ways from home ....so I give the e21 all she has. (witch isn't much) I assume I'm about to be murdered, raped or something...I'm now being hunted. This isn't cool.....at all.....

There's not police station around, everything is closed - I only have one chance to get away from this crazy person - who I assume what me to be be his chew toy - or something sick. I aim for home. I have a garage door opener, that I know works 100 feet away. And I know where my baseball bat is, and a long handled shovel. So I gun. I'm scared for my life....

There are 2-3 corners left, I'm loosing him on the corners, I put a good 50 feet behind between us. But he way out accelerates me in the straights....last corner....I start hitting the remote button on the garage door as I turn the corner.....I see a peek of light as the door opens. I'm so close to home - I slam the e21 up the driveway and pull into the garage - he's right behind me. I get out of my car - about to run inside. and I hear....

"FREEZE MOTHER F**KER" GET ON THE GROUND - GET ON THE GROUND" - I turn around and there is a gun pointed at me and he's walking it right up to my head. This is it - this is how I'm going to die.....I'm surprised I didn't shit myself. A swift kick to the back of my knee sent me to the ground.

"DO YOU YOU KNOW WHAT S**T YOUR IN SON!?!??!?" "WHO ARE YOU WORKING WITH...TELL ME NOW YOU SH**"

Oh shit - It's a cop.

He throws me on to the hood of his car, hand cuffs me, and another cops pulls up and they put me in their cruiser. Latter I learned he knocked on my door - woke my mother up, told her I was arrested for grand theft. Now there at 8 cop cars - for one 17 year old.

I end up at the police station - getting questioned for a few hours. Wonderful night I assure you.

So what happen was apparently the security guard at the dealership called the cops when I left, cause the GTI, had a removable stereo as well - and it wasn't in the dash. (they were really popular back in the day). But they forgot it was under the seat of the GTI, so they called it in assuming I stole it - and took down my license place number when I was driving away. They called the cops, and a undercover cop car was waiting for me. So I spend most of the night in jail. Oh so fun.

The cop who arrested me, filled out the report, and contacted the dealership the next day. The sales man knew my name, and the dealership didn't want to press charges (duh). But the cop that filled out the paper work was so embarrassed or lazy, he didn't file a follow up report. I called, and called to get it resolved. Eventually, I had to hire an attorney with my own car money, and go to court as if I had stolen the deck. My attorney had gotten statements from the dealership - and on my court date, it took the judge about 20 seconds to throw the case out. That cost me $1500 - in 1990's dollars. The judge also ordered the police department to write me a letter of apology. BTW - I've yet to receive that letter. Surprise surprise.

Good news is I never got that GTI. I keep the e21 through college. And I'm so glad I did.

Hard Drivin'!

[slammin.e28]

Probably just wanted some buttshex. You say he was driving a Mini?

I never get followed out here. People who follow people end up dead.

I did have an experience though. I was in my e46, cruising with my now ex gf. We had just ate, and were going to get some ice cream or something. Driving along, we get passed by this lifted Toyota Tacoma. Dude's slowed, got behind, and tailed us, then got over and flew by us. Figured it was just some drunk rednecks jamming to Nickleback.

Driving on, the truck is in front of us by a good 50 yards. Suddenly, when we are at a part of the road where there is no turning around (turn lane with curbs on both sides) the truck locks up it's brakes and 4 rough ass rednecks get out and start shouting and running towards the car. This was when I was like 120lb soaking wet, so I slammed the e46 in reverse, and backed up opposite the flow of traffic (it was late, so really nobody else out there), spun the car around like those vids with the limos and shit doing evasive manuvers for the POTUS, and speed off, dodging curbs etc.

Still have no idea what provoked them, but rednecks are a jumpy bunch. Swear I heard banjos from a distance.

[tonerrrr]

I followed a green Wrangler for a bit, but that was b/c I thought it was my buddy taking a shortcut to his house (wasn't familiar with the area), probably freaked the people in the Jeep out a little.. ha.

[fronton]

I got followed home once because a guy thought I cut him off even though I had the right of way. Unfortunately it was the turn onto my dead end street so I just pulled into my driveway and he pulled up to block me in. He gets out cursing and beating on the driver window of my e34 540i/6. I just looked at him and kept quiet staying in the locked car until he gave up and peeled away.

This didn't come close to being as scary as the time I was followed and taunted for about 50 miles at 3am between Vegas and the Hoover dam but a redneck in a jacked up truck with a shotgun. I felt pretty small in my 318is.

Some people have serious road rage issues.

drive to wal-mart parking lot they have mad cameras watching it, why did you drive home.
