[QUOTE="timoyz, post: 12863, member: 10"] Since there's no way I'm going to top a Baja 1000 in the dark story, how about I tell one that doesn't involve bikes. A few years ago, the group I used to ride with, went to Ocotillo Wells, for the long New Years weekend. It was one of the families, that the husband/dad drove the kids and stuff out early with the group, and his wife, and her mom came down later. On their way down in the dark, they missed the turn off going back to OW, and kept going South. Once they realized they missed the turn, they turned around and then were trapped in the border patrol check. Thinking swiftly, they thought they could turn on the road they needed, instead of going straight through the immigration check.:thinking: Well, all the officers saw was a car jumping out of line and trying to speed by. So they pulled their spike strips, taking out 3 tires. They ended up getting taken into custody, and after 3 or 4 hours, were given a phone call. The husband went right over, and got the Mother out, but his wife had the same last name as a wanted felon, so she was stripped, and inspected for tattoos. After a 10 hour ordeal, and 3 tires from a local shop, she was let go with only a warning.:prof: [/QUOTE]
