my buddy was driving home last nite around 130am from sarasota in his supra, he noticed a lexus is300 driving next to him for awhile, but didnt think much of it, just assumed they were going the same way he was since its a major road he was on. when they eventually reached an area that had no other cars around they swerved in front of him and forced him off the side of the road and slammed on the brakes. they got out of the car and one of them pointed a gun and before they could get to his car he floored it and was able to get back onto the pavement and take off as fast as possible, they tried to follow for a bit but his car is obviously much faster so he got away and called the police, but they were long gone. obviosly he is very lucky to be alive.

this happened in venice florida....pretty much old folks town and a place where many people leave their doors unlocked at nite.....it doesnt even have an area close to what you would consider a "hood" or ghetto.......so just remember, IT CAN HAPPEN ANYWHERE.

this finally motivated me to go get my concealed carry permit ASAP and carry a handgun in my car at all times, and obviously will be keeping a sharp eye out for any cars that might seem like they are following me.

be safe out there everyone!

 

thanks

 

Horrible story, nightmarish.. glad all is well.


A good decision on your part to get your CCW.

In FL,, dont leave home without it.

yeah, but i got there fairly late, maybe 2pm........i was with a silver cayman and a red supra.

we stayed to watch a few runs.....a very wicked sounding blue audi, the black gtr, a black 996, and a silver porsche with lots of aftermarket parts on it that sounded awesome

cant wait for the palm beach supercar show next weekend....anyone going?

 

Thought your car looked familar. You pulled up with the red supra also. We were driving the silver porsche with black wheels and gt3 wing that sounded awesome.

 

PacMan...did you guys go to the Rolex 24-Hour race?

 

Yeah. We left at 6:30 this morning and returned home around 3 due to a family emergency.

 

+1 ON don't leave home with out it
