      In Santa Clara? On El Camino across from the Chili’s?

      Edit: A bit of advice if you are going to cut one just be sure wear a yellow vest and a hardhat.

          Don’t even bother with the post. I bet you can get through the clamps in less than a second with a 2 foot stepladder.

          Don’t bother with the socket set they are usually one way. Unless you have the opposite direction socket? Regardless go steal that shit before it ends up in a dumpster.

        It was always explained to me as driving well under the speed limit with loud music and flashy car mods like numatics, hydraulics, and lights.

        In my small town we had two drive in restaurants (Sonic and a local joint), people would drive from the one on the South side of town to the one on the North side. We would stop at one or the other for a short time and look for friends or to try and plan a party somewhere.

            It was mostly a Latino or Black thing, depending on the area. Sometimes associated with gang activity.

            It was fairly easy to outlaw and then selectively enforce. It’s basically a law that allows cops to bother people.

            The practice has been replaced with sideshows.

              It’s not even a mostly Black or Latino thing. It’s a car guy thing in general. You’ll just never see white boys in 1970 Challengers being pulled over for doing it.

              My dad has tons of stories of cruise nights from when he lived in SoCal in the 70’s. Various drag racers and celebrities he’d run into. Nothing about being arrested, even though he looks like Tommy Chong. Then again I think most dudes looked like Tommy Chong in the 70’s…
