The good ole days, before reliable cell phones, and lack of everything being posted online within minutes. Can't get away with things like that anymore.
I was big into the DC nightlife scene back in the early to mid 2000’s and would run across/hang out with Dustin every once in a while. He told me this story pretty much word for word not long after it happened. Watching this video really brought back some memories.
Absolutely amazing stories. My favourite Mischief moment though is definitely the Mondeo driving on the Cannonball, as that was just zero fucks given driving. Funny to say that the most batshit insane driving I've ever seen on public roads was done in a rental Ford Mondeo...
The fact that he was able to get away with this, and still have a license blows my mind. Up here in Canada that is like a six demerit fine. Which is over half of the maximum demerits allowed before you get your license taken away.
Sure was, looking forward to it. I had just got married two months before the rally and was scheduled to leave on my honeymoon to Australia a couple weeks after the rally. Luckily I wasn't considered a flight risk while on bail and was able to enjoy my honeymoon. The wife was not happy lol
These Mischief guys and their Gumball videos were my childhood. I don't remember why, but I actually used their Gumball 3000 video in a presentation for my history class in 7th grade. I just wanted an excuse to show everyone how sick they made the rally seem! Now my dream is to do those rallies, so I guess these guys inspired me a lot more than I thought!
Thankfully Dustin never went to jail for street racing - oh wait - nevermind Back in VA this guy I knew had a 455 Olds Rocket engine that was built by a Winston Cup engineer. One day he called me and asked if I wanted to drive it as I had helped put the car together. At around 2am I topped it out on a Virginia highway at around 220mph and I used this enormous hill to help slow the car back down. We came over the hill and police had blocked the road. They eventually let us go because they didn't catch us speeding but one of the officers mentioned a fire spotter plane called in the vehicle because he couldn't keep up with the car and figured we may be going over the speed limit. The VA state police didn't get us that day but they more than made up for it later. Don't speed in VA- OMG. Pretty sure the maximum penalty for speeding in VA is death by firing squad.
The German autobahn experience indicates that speed limits have little or no effect on road deaths on rural freeways. I used to be on the staff of a trauma hospital which was located near a major urban freeway. The hospital kept an accident location map. Most of freeway accidents were near the ramps. Some of the ramps were on ramps extending into off ramps. These ramps had a particularly high accident rate. In many parts of the world speed cameras are used for traffic enforcement and there is a no chase policy.
I used to own a woodland camo 96 Jetta gt, that I had gutted everything except the seats. Driving that thing in the New York winter was seriously hell, so I feel the pain on dados m3. My doors were all welded shut, so gettin in and out was a chore
I'm from australia and I'm in disbelief listening to what people get away with in the USA. If you did something similar here you would likely be sent to prison for a few years and have your car impounded and crushed, and lose your drivers license for life. Crazy story though.
@@bradleymcdonald4829 its actually more accurate to say "down" there if you check them out on a map. He does have a good point though. Laws in some other parts of the world can be much more strict.
@@bradleymcdonald4829 In New South Wales Dado and the yellow turd he called a car would be Crushed!!!! And he would be made to pay the impound fee LOL!!!!!
Damn, this takes me back. Dado was my "Rob feretti". I had just gotten my e36 m3 and found all those videos of him on all the BMW forums. I aspired my car to like his, but in AvusBlau.
I really don’t understand how if you are doing over 120mph and run from the cops and they just laugh it off and let you go. It doesn’t make sense! Every cop I run into is always a major harass! I live in Utah too!
We recorded a couple but then some other developments happened to each story so you will have to wait until after the 30th to hear about the meth truck and the pornstar's Camaro.
Active is still around in Miami, Ics performance tuned his 1995 m3 to 540hp. At the time it was one of the fastest street cars on the road in 2002. 3.2 and 3.0 u.s spec motors is better for boost than the euro spec version. High duration 2.5 bore and stroke to 3.0 thicker silender walls for the 95 u s e36 m3's , 3.2 u.s can also handle high boost, Dado's was swapped for lower milege 3.2 us motor to 540hp🤣😂🙄insane for 2002. Hydrolic lifters meant no valve train adjustment, plus u.s spec m3 manuals gear box ran of automatic Transmission fluid. No gear box oil change needed,
OMG THESE ARE THE STORIES ABOUT DTM POWER GUYS !!!! OMG IM SO MIND BLOWEN.... I WAS LIKE 11 BACK THE DREAMING ABOUT THEM BMWs.... guys look up DTM POWER
LOL that they got arrested in Abilene KS, the Dickinson County seat. I know this quite well, because my mom is from Abilene, and I spent all my summers there as a kid with my grandparents. It's a small town, but it definitely has motels. It is also where the Eisenhower Museum and Library are, and there are some other cheesy tourist attractions. It's small, but not that small.
Judges in small midwest towns are fucking awesome. It's not quite as prevalent now as it used to be, but there used to be a judge in every rinky dink midwestern county that would gladly take a bribe to drop or lessen charges. We used to know a judge that was literally funneling tens of thousands of dollars in "donations" as head of a courthouse restoration committee of which he was the only member. The ONLY thing he spent the money on for the courthouse was a metal plaque with the building dedication date on it. The rest went right into his pocket. He has long since passed away but we have heard that his grandson inherited well over a million dollars after he passed.
