You Guys Missed a Show Tonight!

[1X83Z]

Tonight I was watching the Braves game on TBS (basic cable) and in the middle of the tenth inning, it went in to rain delay.

So TBS decides to start showing World's Wildest Police Chases - and not the new kind, but the first few (the ones before the FCC stepped in and told them to tone down the violence).

In any case, there was a great one about a fellow who walked into a Dallas Rolls-Royce dealer and told them he wanted to test drive a Bentley (he also told them he was God, but they still let him have the keys). The cops got him for reckless driving, and they started pursuing him! Finally they shot out the tyres after he rammed into the police Camaros (which, surprisingly, he outgunned without much trouble).

The best one, though, was a guy in a 1985 or so Pontiac 3000 who decided to drive down the backroads of rural Texas - he was taking the dirt road 90-degree turns so quickly and with near expertise, it reminded me so much of World Rallying! Of course, in the end, he lost it on a straightaway.

By the way, the game ended at 1:46 AM Atlanta time with the score tied. I wonder how many times that happens in baseball.

heh, I use to watch that show all the time...My fav chase was the guy in that aqua Pontiac whatever...he was doing over 100 when the right front went flat and he just kept it floored, later on the wheel broke, and he was driving on the rotor, which desentigrated, and he was driving on the suspension, and it left a huge gas all the way down the highway...it ended when he ran out of gas, it lasted some 4 hrs.

Also there was one with a guy in a Dodge Shadow, it was red, and it took place pretty close to where I am...funny to see he speeding past familiar areas.

There was also one with a guy in a RX-7 GSL-SE exactly like my dads(before he sold it)and that host twit called it a quote "240hp sportscar"(when in real life it was 142hp)...but the driver wiped out...

I also liked the one with the Suburban...that guy was offroading during the chase, and the cops(in thier Fords mind you) are actually following him over some very difficult terrain.

Ohh and who could forget the guy on the motorcycle that was going 120+ right before he slammed into a bus...

They were doing promos for a fellow going off-road in a huge new-model mobile home, but the game was cancelled and it was never showed.

I've always thought of borrowing my cousins hummer, and going on an offroad police chase!

 

[Acid X]

Hahhaa i dont think anybodies ever done taht before...

 

[Deathhawk]

The whole bulletproof thing, and kevlar tires would make it an adventure!

one time there was this dude in a land rover and he was going through a corn feild and it made like weird shapes then the cops they messed up he went to where he started and he went left and they went right into a lake

 

[kesen]

[Talentless]

Kesen, you ask that what in nearly every thread I see you in. Just what do you do all day?

 

[MazKid]

He can't read Talent, just say happy things that he can understand like "party" and "fun"....

 

[GTO_VR4]

Lol, have you seen the one about brazilian teenagers with there cars?

They all gathered up in a crowed and have cars running thru the streets recklessly and ppl go nuts over that..well some guy got Sooooo psyched up he decided to jump in someones car and go for a ride (keep in mind he doesnt know the driver)

so after he hops in, the driver does a burnout and that psyched up guy is hangin half way out the window showing off and yelling

So the driver starts pulling off "running 360s" and the car tips over....on the side with the guy haning half way out the window...

**crush**

TBS always put world's most dangerous/stupid/scary chases/criminals/shootouts in for rain delays.

I thought the GSL-SE was the turbo 7....? Not that World's Scariest Police Chases knows anything about cars anyway.

My favorite was the Neon that was all over the road (the cops figured the driver was drunk).

When the driver finally slid into a ditch, the cop ran out of the car full speed, gun drawn and screaming at the driver.

Turns out the driver was a ten year old kid who had gone joyriding...the expression on the kid's face musta been priceless.
