Crazed Bulldozer Attack

Post by Amtron »

So all is fine and dandy on a lovely Tuesday afternoon. My buddy and I decided to go drifting out in a housing development that is the best spot around to go to. We're all having fun and we end up in the construction area where there is some building going on.I did a 180 and stopped and waited for my buddy who also did a 180 and stopped next to me. We just looked at each other to see who wanted to lead, neither of us realizing that there was a large bulldozer hiding behind a giant snow pile waiting for us...So as I'm looking over into the car beside me, I hear a loud "BANG" in back of me. I look up in my rear view mirror, and the crazy SOB in the bulldozer slams his plow onto the ground and starts accelerating very quickly towards our cars (suprisingly fast for a bulldozer )...we both gun it and since most of the snow was packed down from the heavy construction vehicles going back and forth, I had no traction until the bulldozer was about 3 feet or so from my back bumper.I continued down the road which emptied onto a main road, but my stupid friend decided he would turn into a dead end street. All I can see looking back was the hilarious site of a giant bulldozer chasing after an Accord. Apparently the bulldozer radio'd in a digger (the ones with the treads) and they blocked him in. The driver of the bulldozer said something along the lines of "I have your plate numbers, I don't want you guys doing that crap because you can hit one of my workers. Come back here and we'll give the cops your plate numbers".The whole thing looked like it was out of a movie, and the view I had when the bulldozer popped out in back of us was priceless. I'm still laughing at 6 hours later haha

prepare for older users bashing you for unsafe driving conditions.......I usually do my snownanigains at night when all the parking lots are closed so as to not hit anything but a light pole and change lots frequently incase of any incidents...

Wow. I can't believe they actually gave you a warning instead of calling the cops right away.

Isn't that what bulldozers are made for? Scaring the bejezus out of innocent snow sliders? Were there really any workers out on the site? I can't imagine a company paying a guy to sit around on a bulldozer to ward off evil invading 180 doers! You've been served!

I remember passing him and he was looking at us. Then we took a few more corners and I guess he decided to try and get rid of us. I'm thinking he was probably going to wait until we went by and then pop out in front of us which would have reallyyyyy sucked Quote, originally posted by vibolista »Isn't that what bulldozers are made for?

Nope, no workers on the site, they must have been working inside the houses not out. The only people we saw were the bull dozer and the digger.

Reminds of me the movie CARS lol.you guys should have known better. always pick empty lots.also construction zones not so good for drifting. you could run over something.

Did you consider what would have happened if he had anger management problems and popped out in front of you guys with the bulldozer blade up at head height???...that's a good point And considering the fact he was hiding behind a snow bank waiting for us he probably was going to pop out so we hit him. And a Vibe or Accord vs. Bulldozer...we all know that the bulldozer would dominate. Plus if we did hit him it would be our fault because we'd get charged with wreckless driving or something.
