Default Closest Call in the R Stories. Please post 'em.

Some of the R-Speeder's know of my near nigtly dilemma. I get followed home on a near nightly basis when driving the R. They know where my GF lives and the round about area where I live as well.

We both live in a suburb in very close proximity to the Bronx and NYC.

They (the thieves) are not dumb enough to try anything at my GF's house because her bedroom window is 5 feet from my front bumper, and I don't doubt that they know that also.

Instead, they wait for me to leave and tail me from a distance and wait for me to lead them to my house.

Last night (Saturday) I leave her house at around 2 am. Sure enough, at the end of the block the lights of a crappy old EG Civic light up in their Euro Blue HID look blue tint and we're off for another long and entertaining ride home.

I started driving at an agravatingly slow pace, 7-10 mph for a few blocks then I bolt. 1st bwaaa, 2nd daaaa, 3rd raaaa and then a dead stop and the slow roll again.

The Civic and it's 3 passengers (2 lying down so as to not be seen by me ) get restless. They rev up and start riding my ***. Humored by this I get out at the next light with the l00byville to continue the great time being had by all.

The Civic, once tinted dark with now faded purple tints reverses and takes off in the other direction. Victory, and a good laugh, or so I thought.

I get back in the R and start home again, driving vigilantly of course.

Now, I'm a block from home. I'm at the area where I usually turn my lights off and bolt thru side streets in a different order everynight just to be safe when I see huge SUV headlights run up my *** real quick. Just then the Civic returns, now attempting to cut me off on my driver side and front. All for SUV doors open at once and 4 Gorilla ( or Opie ) sized kids get out.

Aha, oh goody, a setup!

I take off, just ahead of the Civic and SUV, as I blow thru the light I get a solid side shot off on one of them with the l00byville (w00t).

Lights off, e-braking so as to not allow any brake lights to come on and give away my location and some do-rift-o action and I get home un hurt.

The R thanked me this morning by throwing a check engine light and being a quart low on oil.


I NY


NOW you share!

Holy Hell Opie, that is some scary **** man! This l00byville...is this a gun? or a camera? If it isn't a gun, perhaps you shoud invest for your own safety if you have gorillas trying to box you in for the infamous car jack.

I've had my R home for four days now and I already have people giving me the stank eye about it. I''m thinking of keeping my driver side door NBP and never washing the car so it looks like a **** box. Maybe I'll remove the last type r badge on the rear to make it look like a glorified, **** *** LS.

Your story gives me the creeps.

Bat is my guess. You needs to get some guns.

you didn't get the plates? i woulda called the police or something while i was at it. Good run though dude, ,i just think it sucks for you to have to go through that sorta ****.

You need a nice 50 cal. mounted on top of the R and a sticker that says " 'nam war veteran, Licensed to kill"

I got close once, i got followed by an EG while i was on my way to the grocery store, ironically i had a friend that lived nearby there so i called him up to open his garage door. after a few quick " Baaaaaaaa... Raaaaaaaaa's" and some good braking into a corner, and the EG tried to follow but comon.. its no " Arrrrrrrrrrrr" so it slowed him down enough for me to run a stop sign and bolt into the alley where his garage was. I closed the garage door and waited for those ******* to drive by as i stood in the sidewalk behind a wooden fence and as soon as the car drove by, i used my cell phone and punched in the License plate number and called the cops on em. I told the cops i saw them playing with a gun. LoL
That means they're " armed and dangerous" and they're going to " need assistance" pulling them over.

I wish i could have seen the on their faces

Granted, my story isn't as scary as your's, but anyhow:

Just for a note, Greenville has been very good to me about the safety of my R, and especially the area that I live in.

But one night (around 1 a.m.) I was coming home from my friend's house, and since he lives about 2 miles away from me, I don't usually get concerned about being followed (since I'm not on the road for very long).

I come to a 4 way stop and continue straight, while a car (A newer Toyota Camry) follows a few seconds behind me. I think nothing of it, since it is a fairly busy road. The car catches up to me, and procedes to ride my ***. Again, I don't get scared, since I assume it's just some jackass.

The car follows me for the entire road that I was on, and then trails me into my neighborhood. I start getting a little worried, but I just brush it off as a coincedence. I turn onto my street and the car makes the same turn, and at this point I start to panic a little. I know all the cars that live in the houses next to me, and this definately wasn't one of them. I pull into my garage, and the stalker continues straight.

At this point, my cold sweat goes away, and I head up my driveaway to get our trashcan. The car comes flying by revving at me, and tears off into the night. I was worried, but the car was there the next morning.

I'm a west coast boy. I don't know your east coast slang yet.

Baseball bat is better than nothing though. I like Nvious R's idea of calling the cops on them stating they were waving a gun around. Though it's tough when the adrenaline is pumping, definately try to get the license plate in the heat of the moment.

"l00byville slobber", "l00ber", "l00by" all names the baseball bat I carry in the R has been given.

I'd go take a pic, but I'm too tired

I had a car follow me for about 30 minutes on the way home from work one day. They continued to followed me through my neiborhood, so I went past my house and was going to try to lose them, before I got to the end of my street they turned into their driveway a few houses down from me. Crazy neighbors.

Damn Opie, thats crazy. Did you get any plates or anything? If I were you and you didn't report it or something like that I'd get some friends together and create your own little sting operation to try and scare them away. Kind of like those English bikers the beat those guys stealing motorcycles

God damn, Opie! Are you sure those gorillas aren't after YOU, and not the R? Maybe the R is just an added bonus...

Who did you **** off?

opie you are a trooper, but yes i would do what one fellow said and set their asses up, if they get around to floowoing you again call up some of your freinds and drive straight to wear your freinds are where they can block them in and call the cops on their asses and tell the cops wear you are going to end up with the folowers, but if it was me and it was just some punk bitches in a eg i can more then hold my own with a few ricer ******s so it would be game over for them, ESPECIALY if i had a "l00byville slobber", "l00ber", "l00by" i would beat their asses in the intersection of one of your little ny ally streets

good luck next time

p.s. maybe you should try and have a video camera in your car to video tape all the following, im sure they can get some sentance for that

That's pretty ******* nuts dude. I have no story that can compare in any way to that one. For the future, I'm with getting a license plate and/or vigilante-style sting operation. Were I in NY, or maybe even though I'm not, I would be/am down for help with said operation

Everyone is OT!

As far as calling the cops goes, it's useless. My car will be gone by then. The reason I am explaining this story so loosely is because it happens so frequently that it doesn't matter any more

Saturday night's case was pretty harry though

Seems like now they want to get physical. You should really be carefull since they know where your g/f lives and they may wait for you when your walking to your car. I'm sure these idiots have guns as well.

Glad you got away, but be carefull man.
