Story Peeps Change Lives

Let's Go for a Joyride!

Member: VinceM

I was 16 years old and if you read my other stories here on storypeeps you will learn that I had a bit of a wild side in my teenage years. Here we go!
 
BTW: the names and locations in this story have been changed to protect the identities of everyone involved.
 
My friend John called me at my house laughing and giggling as soon as I picked up the phone. "John, what's up?" John's neighbors went on vacation and good old Johnny boy snook into their home and swiped the car keys to a 1990 Oldsmobile. John said get ready, I'm going to pick you up in five minutes.

It was a Sunday night in July around 11pm. My parents were already sleeping so I quietly snook out of the house and almost immediately I see two headlights coming down the road and parking right next to me. John yelled for me to get in as he continued to giggle with excitement.
 
Well what are we to do, we are two reckless teens who loved excitement and cheap trills. We picked up Franky and decided to hit up a local pot dealer downtown where we lived. All is good for the time being, Frankly rolled a nice fat blunt for us to smoke on while John cruised around the city. It wasn't long before we started laughing and really enjoying our joyride as john drove recklessly about.
 
Sooner or later we wound up on route 11 in Stoneyville. John missed a red light and slammed on the brakes after we passed the light causing the car to skid as the tires locked up. "Whoa, what the hell are you doing man?" John began to become paranoid as we all were because we just caused a major scene on a very busy road. Luckily no one saw us at that moment so we kept driving and all of us were pretty baked at the time.
 
Not to long after that there was a cop on the side of the road as we were about to roll past him, Johns driving got worse and got the cops attention. Immediately the cop put on his siren and began following us. "Oh my god, what the hell are we going to do?" I screamed to John and told him to pull over but we had a little bit of weed on us still and all of our eyes were red. John pulls over and the cop begins walking towards the car. As soon as the cop gets along side the rear door, John floors the Oldsmobile and now all of our hearts are racing with fear and anticipation.
 
We are all panicking in the car clueless about what we should do. Nervously we decided to throw the weed out of the window and so we did. Dam!!! the weed hits the cops windshield out of all things!!! Can you believe our luck? Seriously, we couldn't believe how bad this situation is getting. Number one John stole his neighbors car because they were on vacation, number two we were all high, number three John ran from the cops, and number four the weed we threw out the window lands on the cops windshield.
 
Well since we were all going to be in huge amounts of trouble already, he had no choice but to attempt to get away. Oh yeah, one problem though; John is a horrible driver because he lacked experience.
 
We're still on route 11 near the 48 on ramp so we hop on the highway heading east. When we get on the highway we see two cruisers parked on the grass on the left side of the highway already with their lights on. Great we have a slow car, bad driver and already 3 cops chasing us!
 
We knew we couldn't loose the cops on the highway so I instructed John to take the downtown exit to our home city Bristol. Well our friend John fails to disappoint and ends up taking the exit closest to the police station in Bristol. At this point we are all freaking out screaming at John because he's driving 100mph on city streets and we're headed towards an entire police station. At this time BTW we had 3 cops chasing us but they turned off their lights as if we were supposed to believe that there's just 3 normal cars chasing us at 100mph in downtown Bristol!
 
I told John to head towards our high-school hoping we could loose them in one of our skipping trails right next to the school. There was only one problem with that idea, you see the road that leads to the school is long and straight but it happens to have a pretty big bump and we're still doing a 100mph. Well we hit that bump and the car goes flying and we nearly had heart attacks from everything that's going on. Amazingly John regains control of the car and at this time the cops slowed a little once they saw us airborne.
 
We skidded to a stop and John frantically tried to pull out the keys from the ignition but it wouldn't go. We all ran towards the skipping trails and cleared a small brook in the process. Shortly after we're running full speed through pricker bushes as we hear cops and one dog chasing us.
 
It wasn't long before we herd yelping from the police dog as he must have gotten caught up in the pricker bushes and eventually we couldn't hear the cops anymore.
 
Well it's not over yet. We wound up at some apartment building and slowly began plotting our way home. We're covered in mud, our pants are wet and we have so much adrenaline pumping through our veins that we hardly even spoke to each other. We basically communicated with looks or telepathy LOL, it was just an intense time.
 
Navigating home required ducking from all headlights in peoples yards, behind cars, and so on. We made it to a Dunkin Donuts and had some coffees hours after the chase actually ended by the brook.
 
Well we all made it home, safe and secure, but with scratches all over our bodies.
 
The next day I'm talking on the phone with my favorite crazy girl that I really liked at the time, her name was Laura. I'm telling her the entire story as I did for you here and then once finished I hear a click and then a doorbell. My mom yells out my name and yells that there's cops at the door and they're looking for me. OMG I couldn't believe it I don't know how they found me and I told Laura that I'll call her later, most liley from jail.
 
I walked hesitantly from my sisters room and towards the front door. To my surprise there is no one there and my mom made some snide remarks. I couldn't believe it, my mom heard the whole story, she heard that I smoked weed!! she heard that I was in a stolen car and that we got chased by the cops and then she scared the living daylights out of me by pulling that prank!
 
Well surprisingly I didn't get in trouble I don't even really remember what my mom said to me afterwards but I do remember calling my girl Laura and she laughed her butt off at me.
 
The End -> Read my other stories as I write them, I did some crazy stuff in my time :)
