I used to have a roll of coins covered in electrical tape as well. Didn't need to use any of it.

I did come home one night (I had my own place at 16 with a few other guys) and there was a group of guys waiting for me. I stopped counting at 7 guys and at least a few weapons. At that point I put it in first, dropped the clutch and cleaned some carbon out of the engine. BTW a Sunbird and keep the wheels spinning in three gears if you really try.

After that day I would park behind the Coke building that was on the other side of our parking lot. I parked there so that there was less chance of these guys damaging my car. I would then jump the big ass fence and walk up the parking lot carrying that 3ft bar. I said screw it I was going down swinging. They didn't come back.

Other times people thought about it and didn't bother trying. I was talked into going to some house party one night with my friends and cousin. I didn't want to go because i didn't know the people there anyway. We get there and my cousin and one friend go up to see if they can get in. They get turned away. I don't know what was said but my car was right in front of the house and the two other cars we had were a few hundred feet away. My cousin and friend came down the walkway and the whole house cleared. There had to be over 40 damn people in that house. I said "SHIT" and jumped out the car. While doing so I popped my trunk because I knew I had tools in there. I always had shovels, picks and chain saws from work in there. The trunk opened but didn't rise. This big bastard comes over and says what do you have in there? Guns? I looked at him and said you don't want to find out with my hand on the lid.

I told my friends to go get in their cars and I stayed there with the crowd. When they were in I looked at the guy, closed the lid then hopped in my car and left. They were not willing to take the chance. The next day I go to work and find out that I had fan rakes in there. LOL. The one day I could use something I have fan rakes. And those were set in there a special way to even get them in there. It would have been a bitch to get them out.

A lot of close calls growing up but I'm glad some of the bad ones didn't go where they could have. It could have ruined things I'm working on now.

What is the advantage of sitting low though? Is it because it's comfortable? If so that's fine, but my guess is the majority do it because they want to present an "I'm livin large/can't touch this" image

Because its bad ass. Everybody has a way they walk, talk, dress and so on. A lot of truck driver sit low. Sometimes you see the new guys siting really high. Some old school guys will sit low and have a big ass shifter. Almost like the ape bars of shifters.

It is comfortable if your not on a bumpy road. If you are that hurts like hell when the seat bottoms out. Also you can have the seat in a position that will bounce you and you can hit your head on the roof so you will adjust it at times. On the road I want to ride low.

We even have our way of waving.
