Yes it’s a real thing. Unfortunately… It’s some of the reason why some of us don’t like owning dodges anymore. We get lumped into this group of fu**ers. I’m sure there are some stolen cars in the groups. The news media refers to them as side shows. I wish law enforcement could catch them all and impound their cars, however it would probably lead to more stolen cars tho.

 

Stupid... Simply stupid.

 

I do it but the way we do it is different. We have a few private properties with large parking lots that allow us to host events there. No danger to the general public that way. Only people who want to be there are there and police cannot shut it down as we have permission.

 

Then that’s not a street takeover. That’s actually something different.

 

Z'ers needing to feel some importance in their life. See the one last month where a pickup rolled, killing kids? That young girl will NEVER get out of prison!

 

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes

 

Just thinning the gene pool.

 

Can we hurry up with this?

 

Street takeovers are the result of growing up without a father.

 

Bingo

 

OK, go ahead and jump on me for asking, but what is this street car takeovers all about? Is this real? Recently, i have seen numerous videos where hundreds of people gather in a traffic intersection or a mall parking lot and the cars do donut after donut burning rubber and spinning. Numerous idiots are hanging out of the cars and standing too close and getting hit and thrown out. Cars are being crashed and destroyed. Cops don't seem to be on the scene trying to control this situation.

My questions are: anyone here actually do this? You see many nice cars being destroyed, people getting hurt. What is going on? Are these cars stolen? I have heard that in Philly this happens pretty often. Recently, I went to the mall near me and there was an area of the parking lot FILLED with hundreds of burnouts, circles, garbage, etc. The whole area smelled like fresh rubber. There must have been a takeover the evening before.

What is this all about?

some are stolen so they don't give a s##t if they wreck it, in my day ( 74years old now) back in my early 20's we raced on an open highway late at night (early am) the kids had painted a start finish line 1/4 mile right on the highway (billerica ma).no crowds you raced and took off hopefully not getting caught today donuts out in the open no consequences..sad really, tires $$$

 

 

There is an influencer that I would watch whenever his videos or pictures would come up in my feed, Mr. Gotdamnit. Not really my style but showed a lot of Hellcat vehicles. A video of him being slung out of a Hellcat onto his head popped up one day. I no longer give Mr. Gotdamnit thumbs up.

 

F that guy. He’s so out of touch and not in play imo. He’s part of the reason there is this problem.

 

The scumbag Losers that do those street take overs will never change my love for Hellcats.

 

I like to think there's 2 major subsets of car culture. The side I think most of us here are on is the side where we enjoy and respect the cars, the engineering, power and performance. It's about the CAR. That other side of car culture is basically slammed full of posers. It's about how they look in the car, the clicks they get on social media, and so on. It's about THEM. Not the car.

You won't find too many of them here, thank God. Every now and then a new Yeeter or whatever will come in here and yeet all over the place, but they don't stick around once they realize we don't typically take pictures of our cars with our big ol' head hogging up 2/3 of the frame.

A lot of the sideshows take place in Atlanta. Well, they did. The GSP has been really hammering on them and they've had a few run-ins where they impounded upwards of 30 vehicles at a single bust. In other urban places in SoCal, it's still a major thing. You don't see it a lot here in FL, because like the GSP, the FHP doesn't have hands-off chase policies on street racers. They'll chase them and pit them for fun down here. That, and in FL, you get charged with a racing charge just for being outside of the car observing a street takeover/sideshow. That charge comes with a mandatory 1 year loss of license and several thousand in fines and up to 30 days in jail. It's literally a worse charge than a DUI, so most people, even these braindead yeeters don't get caught doing it in the open. It still happens on back roads and such, but you don't see them doing it in public very much, at least not up in the capital city where I am.

 

Tik Tok and insta have given new purpose for the terminally bored..

 

I just watched police channel showing a video of street takeover idiots where they wrapped hellcat swapped 300 on a power pole that killed both the driver and his front seat passenger.

 

This is what it is when muscle cars are plentiful and get cheap.

It’s a Dark city Ritual.

 

You just described a friend, not a father. This constitutes growing up without a father.

BINGO

I understand what you're saying BUT for you to think that there aren't Parent's out there that would rather have their Children to like them than Respect them would be a poor assumption on your side.

Parenting doesn't come with a handbook as to what is the right or wrong way to do things. Most of the time, it's determined by how Your Parent's raised you and then you change things around to do or not do things that you liked or disliked during your upbringing. Parenting is the Toughest job on the planet because you're responsible to bring up that human being to be a Respectful, Successful Good Caring person and that's a HUGE job and sometimes that can go wrong depending on the person!

I'm Sorry for the tangent and back to our regularly scheduled programming!

 

I had to google what a yeeter was

 

Low IQ parents birthed the types that go to takeovers. Idiots raising idiots.

 

Awesome Meme

 

The thugs do it on Detroit freeways. Generally in stolen hellcat mopars.

 

They'll be going nuts any minute now..
