Gro paid a $300 towing fee in Troy, NY... probably because the car was inoperable since Gro had slammed it into a retaining wall. Gro also got a $50 ticket for "parking more than 18" from the curb". The frickin car is smashed and dead in the middle of the road, you think I parked it like that??

Thatwas the scariest night in the life of a young LD11 as young LD11 et al nearly ran over every cop on the scene of 'Gro's horrific accident going about 80mph up a hill at 2am.  Somehow, the officer let LD11 go and after seeing 'Gro's mangled car at the scene, LD11 et al decided to 'hide-out' in the freshman dorms for a few hours, while police looked for 'Gro.  No one told them he was hiding under the neighbors bed....

LD, TDT wants more details.  The secret is safe in LLPP.

Gro was also doing 80mph up that hill... hence the nascar like wreck into the wall. Luckily for Gro no one was on that sidewalk or Gro's favorite outfit would be orange and smell like man sweat.

No doubt enginegro became incognegro for the rest of that night

Well I guess 'Gro can recount his own details.  But I had some friends in town for the weekend.  It was a Friday night.  When they arrived we got plastered, drove downtown, did about 5 car bombs, got pizza and decided to drive back home with it.  At some point in the night, 'Gro left the house while i waited for my company, so he took his own car downtown.  He drank car bombs with us and was equally wrecked.  

LD11 was driving with 2 passengers and a large Pizza from I<3NY Pizza.  It was cold.  It was dark.  It was cold and dark.  LD11 was driving his Kia about 80 up the Hill to RPI when he screeched his brakes in time to almost flatten 3 cop cars and 2 cops standing in the road.  

'License and Registration.'  LD11 was plastered.  Bombed!  He was trying to even talk with these guys while a passenger is punching LD11 telling him to shutup.  After my license and registration passed, the guy was like, 'Look, someone before you was probably coming up the hill just as fast as you and bounced off the wall.  Slow it down and get out of here.'  

So as LD11 and passengers strolled by about 10 cop cars and lights flashing like mad everywhere and people watching the scene, he looks and jaw bounces off the floor in horror.  'That's 'Gro's car!!!!'  So LD11 gets ont he horn and calls the house.  'Gro ran home and was in hiding from the Po Po.  LD11, panicking, assuming there is cops everywhere decides not to go home.

LD11 and friends got a freshman's # tonight at the bar.  Decided the freshman dorms were a safe haven.  3 chicks in one room.  3 dudes.  It ended badly.  Once the sun came up LD11 and friends returned to the Colvin Circle Pimp Palace to make sure 'Gro was not taken into custody.  

It was almost as if we both just got out of jail.  'Gro should've been arrested.  I should have been arrested.  but we both escaped.  And we rejoiced.

Colvin Circle sounds like a crazy place.  TDT is considering making his first trip to upstate NY, since his visits to Cooperstown in the late 90s, for the 2006 Shoes game.  Pretty sure RT can attest that we know how to roll in Collegeville.  Can someone shoot me the date of the game for this coming season?

Alright Gro you and LD and REG lived on the wild side.  Now lets hear your version of the events.  How'd Gromobile get all banged up at the top of the hill??

['gro]

Well, since the statue of limitations (or some other kind of legal jargon) has passed Gro can come clean on 'the incident'.

As LD described it was a typical friday night and Gro was having fun as always. RPI's close enough where you don't have to drive downtown but it was january so I'm guessing in retrospect that Gro wanted to keep warm... who knows either way the '93 taurus ended up downtown for the last time.

Heading back to colvin circle (another moment of retrospect, should'a stayed downtown at xGGF's place) had Gro been drinking? sure... plenty? We're talking about Gro here this cat knew how to party. The motor skills were fine, but my judgement was lacking. Sage ave is a steep hill so you've got to give it gas just to get up the thing... so Gro decides to go all in and is hauling arse up hill. Right around west hall there's a sharp corner. It wasn't like I didn't see it, I turned the wheel and my Taurus turns into one of those import drifter cars.
**ENTER SLOW MOTION SEQUENCE**
My car is facing the right direction but is sliding full speed into the retaining wall. BOOM. Caught it on the front passenger side. Windshield cracked, pillar cracked, axel cracked, airbags... nope!
**END SLOW MOTION SEQUENCE**
"sonofabitch!!" I'm fine little burn on the neck from the seatbelt. assess the damage, try to start the car and move it to the side of the road. No dice. some dood comes out of a dorm to ask if I'm allright. we try to push, pull, lift the car closer to the curb (remember, judgement is WAY off tonight), no dice.

So, Gro turns into a combination of Jack Bauer and Carl Lewis... running full speed back home taking the most covert route possible up through campus then behind Theta Chi and the RHAPs. Stayed a few doors down at Reg's place while public safety and troy popo came to my apt looking for me.

ok this is getting long... the conclusion will come later.

['gro]

Whew had to drain the gecko and make a phone call...

Ok when we last left our hero Gro he had just made it back to colvin circle. Now, for some stupid reason Reg and Gro decide to drive his car BACK to the scene and check it out. We go and see the taurus in her distressed state. Sad.

Well gro spends the night in fear at Reg's place. The troy popo and RPI public safety both came looking for Gro at his place that night (2 doors down remember). The next morning Gro plans on facing the music... Calls the parents, tells them the story and that he "might be in some trouble". xGGF takes him down to Troy PD. Ask the dude at the desk what needs to be done.
"was anyone hurt?" no
"any other cars involved?" no
"any property damage?" not really just a dark blue mark on the wall the same shade as my car

"You're free to go"

and that was it, even RPI 2.5 rent a cops never followed up on the incident... weird. I did get the towing fee and the stupid ticket but in reality I should have been arrested, LD should have been arrested. But we both escaped. And we rejoiced.

New Dick Cheney Hunting Game Now Available..!!!

[union89]

For U89's 600th post he will share with all of you the worst weekend of his life followed by the worst 90 days of his life....

U89 lived down in Long Beach, NY for about 3 years.....no shiznit, right out U89's sliding glass doors was a TOPLESS beach... ....not as good as it sounds, in 3 years U89 saw about 2 women worthy of taking the top off.....U89 digresses though....

After 3 years, U89 gets a promotion and the opportunity to move back to Utopia (Boston).... ...

Over the next few weekends, U89 travels back to Utopia to look for, and eventually purchase his own 'Thug Mansion'....U89 finds his palace and returns the next weekend with downpayment and shows the sweet crib off to friends and prospective GF's....

Here's where U89's life starts to SUCK....U89, his boys and a few ladyfriends are out celebrating U89's new acquisition and drinking every last drop of alcohol at 'The Purple Shamrock'....A sweet young thing (SYT) recognizes the talent that U89 posesses and starts hangin' on his jock....

Fast forward to last call...U89 closes the deal with SYT and asks where she lives....the response is, "Pawtucket, RI"....No 'biggie, let's roll....BAD IDEA!!!!!  Driving down 95, it suddenly hits U89 that he is blind drunk....NOT GOOD!!!  U89 sees a sign which reads 'Marriott Hotel this exit".  U89 takes exit but for the life of him can not find said hotel....We get back on 95 South....DISASTER ON THE WAY!!!

U89 is concentrating his best to drive well when suddenly, SYT leans over and grabs U89's twig and berries!!!  She then puts her head in U89's lap as he is A) driving & B) drunk as hell!!!!  Long story short as U89's slacks are around his ankles, he sees lights flashing in his rear view mirror.....U89 failed the field sobriety test, yet refused to take breathalizer....pulled into the pokey and given a blanket encrusted with dried blood....SWEET!!

Much more to this story, but U89 has to wrap it up with....No charges...Lost licence for 90 days.....Paid a jobless buddy to drive him around for work...Had to move back in with parents in Worcester.....Lost $12,000 deposit on condo.....Paid $10,000 in lawyer fees.....Your friend U89 learned his lesson and has never driven drunk again!!!

Oh and 1 last thing....U89 hooked up with SYT after this incident....she was in NO WAY a sweet young thing....the evils of DEMON ALCOHOL!!!!!

[Knightstalker]

Where was your wingman?  Did Union89 abandon his wingman?

[union89]

U89 is big on hitting the bar with friends, but then breaking off and trolling the waters alone.

Last part to the story....the car was owned by the company, so if U89 wasn't such a stellar employee....the job would have been 'bye, bye' as well.
