R.C Cars = Trouble ;)

[KevinGalusha]

So today around 3:40 pm I had my Truggy all tuned in and I took it for a spin. I walk down a residential road and drive the car as I walk to the neighborhood park. I had this car in the Bike Lane, and a wonderful gentleman slammed on his brakes, got out of his car and freaked out on me. According to him, "You are just a PUNK with that car! You are going to cause an accident" Well, interesting because the car was no where near him. So I laughed, and kept walking. He then threatened to call the police...

4:22 pm, The Police department finally shows up at the park. The officer asked to see my car, then asked me to drive it. 1 lap around the park he offered to buy it, but I simply resisted.

The police officer and I began to talk about RC cars, and then Mr. Grumpy came stomping across the park and began to yell at the officer for driving a gas powered vehicle in a public park. Well, the police officer then calmed the gentleman down and he took off.

4:32 pm The police officer kindly apologized for the man's behavior.

I had something similar happen to me last spring. It's funny... 30 years old, playing with toys, heart still gets a thump'n when the po po come call'n.

First thing the cop asks.... "How fast does it go?" lol

Just like a kid.

I responded with "You tell me! ". He tried, but couldn't get a good read. Came in around 35mph, which is probably about right for my aftershock at the time.

I asked what happened to make him stop. He just kind of grins and nodded his head to the residential area. My only skate park is about 200 yards away from a residential area on the edge of town. Nothing to the north, east or west, only homes to the south. Then he says "Well, I have some real work to do. I don't see any vandalism going on here. Have a good day and I hope to see you again!".

That was one time I was glad to hear that line come from a cop. I've seen him 3 or 4 times, he just waves now.

i went behind a mall to break mine in and a store complained. when the mall cop came over he said I have a savage set up at home for 2 motors and he told me a good place to take it

My heart wasn't thumping at all really, I knew I wasn't doing nothing wrong. But yeah, that guy was driving a Prius, and you can ask comedian Jeff Denham what that means

[KevinGalusha]

a wonderful gentleman slammed on his brakes, got out of his car and freaked out on me. According to him, " You are going to cause an accident"

Who was going to cause an Accident? The dude slamming on his brakes to yell at you

Great story

 

[BradZ_09]

But yeah, that guy was driving a Prius,

Thats probably why he was so angry.
Great story man, i havent had any complaints about my Rc YET. I tend not to make a disturbance of myself, not that you where, PUNK!

 

[Karl M]

Thats a good story, gotta love it when someone who is looking for a reason to be offened is brushed off like that. Maybe you should change your handle to punk just for the old coot.

 

[KevinGalusha]

Yeah I know, I am such a PUNK!

 

[BOUTCH]

My heart wasn't thumping at all really, I knew I wasn't doing nothing wrong. But yeah, that guy was driving a Prius, and you can ask comedian Jeff Denham what that means

I have a Park right behind me and every time I go out there either with a plane or car the security officer that roams the park ALWAYS comes, turns off his truck and watches. He's came up to me a couple times asking me how much they cost, how fast they go and so on. It's great.

Now then, stop being suck a PUNK!!!! Maybe you should put the "quite" muffler on. Gosh!
