I am pissed off that I watched that video, and they didn't show the damn dash bong.

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 11 points 6 days ago

Came to say the same. I was looking for inspiration!

This is the post where I quit thinking you were cool. Now if you'll excuse me it's my rip, can't smoke drive and text. Not enough hands!

I KNOW RIGHT WHY DO YOU THINK WE EVEN CLICKED ON THIS

[–] Gammelfisch@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Indeed, I wanted to see how the crazy mounted his bong on the dashboard. Adhesive, self-tapping screws, bolts, etc...on a gryo base?

[–] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

bro they said built into the dash!

“custom bong device built into the dash ..."

yeah we GOTTA see this shit

[–] mosspiglet@discuss.online 6 points 6 days ago

I was thinking, "any second and they're gonna show that bong". Nope. Very disappointing.

What a great example of why police chases shouldn't be a thing, the cop was more dangerous than Smokey Pete.

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 31 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Cop tried bumping the truck on a fucking two-lane road with a car coming the opposite way. Holy Cheez-its.

[–] modus@lemmy.world 14 points 6 days ago

It's almost as it cops aren't intelligent.

Two more and he'll get a free ice cream

Reminds me of a story I heard like 20-30 years ago. Some German dude wrecked his Merc on the autobahn… the cops get there and he just wreaks of schnapps but they find no bottles, no means of consumption. The car gets towed to a police station to be examined and they found that he had diverted the window washing tank into the cabin, dude wants a pug of schnapps and he hits his window washer button.

[–] Pauce@lemmy.ca 16 points 6 days ago (1 children)

That is a level of ingenuity that I love to see in people. Application of it is nooot great but he's got the spirit.

[–] DataCrime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 6 days ago

Don’t you mean spirits?

[–] brown567@sh.itjust.works 13 points 6 days ago (1 children)

He definitely needs to get arrested 2 more times now

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 18 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

A high speed chase, or a high speed chase?

Also: wtf was with the pit maneuver when oncoming traffic was like less than a 100 feet ahead? Dumbass shit.

[–] titanicx@lemmy.zip 6 points 6 days ago

This whole chase was idiotic. Poor pit maneuver. Chasing suspect through traffic and intersections.

[–] GhostFish@piefed.social 6 points 6 days ago

Someone pardon this man. 

[–] BeMoreCareful@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I have been living my whole life wrong.

[–] TwilitSky@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

Ok but the judge already said that.

[–] muxika@piefed.muxika.org 4 points 6 days ago

If Grand Theft Auto were a Souls-like.

Do I smell a late night talk show?!

My friend's dad had a kegerator built into his truck. Tap was in the center console.

He's either dead or still driving tow trucks.
