billo 0 #26 May 9, 2002 my fav variation on the whole carw is the baton pass, but it is usually a beer of some sorts! doing it on the interstate is fun, but on a gravel road is even better!(just don't fall out of the window --- wearing freefly pants is not a crime ---b Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steve1 5 #27 May 10, 2002 This may give some insight into a dysfunctional personality, but it's a true story. I once fell a small tree across the front of my pickup smashing the windshield and messing up the cab some. I ordered a windshield but had to wait about a week for it to come in. So wherever I drove that week, I had on a big pair of black-rubber skydiving goggles (that I used back in the olden days). I also had my arm in a cast from a rodeo accident. You'd be surprised how many people would strain their neck to get another look at you when you zoomed by them, going about 80, with your hair flapping in the wind.

jimmytavino 16 #28 May 10, 2002 Regarding Car W.. back in the mid 70's, it was a cloudy day at the DZ so a bunch of us went to lunch, riding in 2 Jeep C J 7's. The CJ 7 had an open cockpit, with rollbar, and while heading down the highway at around 50 miles an hour, side by side, I decided that i wanted to ride in the OTHER Jeep. so I "walked" across from one vehicle to the other.. The drivers were cool and I figured, just don't let go of the 1st jeep, til I had a good grip on the 2nd one...it worked out good....but let me tell you about the mid winter bumper skiing fun which we had later on.... It was an ice covered road, and I was like Marty McFligh in Back to the Future,,, only without the skateboard.......Morale of THAT story is.... If you think you can trust your pals to look out for you,,,,, think again!!!The driver was having so much fun,,, watching my face in the rear view mirror,,,, that he got to accelerating big time...... I bailed, at about 45 m.p.h. stayed on my feet for about 5 meters, then tumbled... I was glad for my PLF training,,,, but it would have been better if I had a helmet....Luckily,,, no brain damage,,, everything still works just fine,,, and I neveraygb jlitc.8nsgvx evoha.iugtwc ymk bss any problems. hahaha Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sunshine 2 #29 May 10, 2002 QuoteSince we are talking about skydiving and cars, do you ~carw~. It's kinda like RW in the old days were you pass a baton between skydivers, well in this case you pass something between two cars.........As me and Phreezone found out, Oreo's do NOT work well for that. And we have it on video to prove it!!"Haven't you always wanted a monkey?" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
