My heart almost flew outta my mouth but luckily the old man didn't shoot me and kindly gave me directions.

>anyways it always turns out onto the highway I take to get home from work (somewhat busy road) and only see it on this highway when I'm driving alone
The second a pair of lights is on the horizon it fucking turns at the closest turn and never see it again until the same situation happens
>ask coworkers around town about it
>story goes that a farmer swerved to avoid a deer and smashed his shitty Ford farm truck into a tree
>died on impact
>on (highway I take to get home)? I ask

The thing always looked like it could barely get down the road let alone go 60mph to keep up with me..
sorry for not so spooky

Scary shit.

i did a long green text about it a few months ago but i'm too lazy so i'll shorten it

>just fucking wish i never saw him

That's not scary, that's just tragic. The greeks actually wrote tragedy plays about automatic transmissions. Most notably the tale of Menelaus and the shiftless journey, it's extremely tragic, he ends up slicing his own throat open after driving only halfway to Athens in his automatic Passat.

>went up a canyon with some friends from school to have a fire
>it's a good time, smores, girls, a bon fire -- there's probably 15 of us
>there's a two or three(?) family that lives 10 miles further up the canyon that are notorious, nobody knows them since they rarely come to town & they're all high school dropouts
>fast forward an hour

>they terrorize us for another 10 minutes asking "what'd you say?" "what'd you say?" before they finally leave for real
>right after they leave we all relaxed and were just joking about how strange that was. one of us could've gotten shot or stabbed
it was kind of surreal. felt like that confrontation at the party scene from primer desu

>the tale of Menelaus and the shiftless journey

Tha-that's not blood, that was transmission fluid!
Yeah...

I was expecting that gif to be this

I almost got impounded once but a bikebro going the other way saved my ass with a quick helmet tap

lidar is terrifying

Around the car sure but there was also quite a bit around the sleeve which was like 1 or 2 lanes over, at any rate it just didn't sit right with me

>brights in fog
It's like you were trying to have shit visibility.

>driving along back road heading home
>coming up to a nice tight turn i like to take fast
>mid corner see this guy just standing at the edge of the road on the outside
>just standing there

It happened too fast to be spooky, but it was very unusual, and a little creepy in hindsight.

prepare yr spook receptors y'all

still have no fucking clue what happened or how. still get chills when I drive through there

pic related my old jetta, miss the shit out of this thing. rip

You used the wrong generic 'bland-brand-automatic'.
Passats use perfectly capable ZF transmissions. Not really sporty but also not Americuck auto tragic tier.

Not spooky, but MN related.

Spooky keks

This story doesn't make any sense. There's not enough info to figure out what even happened.

I had a nigger in my car once.

What did you replace your head unit with?

I was once driving late at night going to Louisville, when I got about 300 feet behind this old ford truck. Whenever it went over a small bump in the road, and the rear axle moved up past a certain point, the differential would disappear entirely.

That night, I passed 100000 miles on my odometer.

I still don't know what it meant. Did it foretell what would ultimately total my car?

KEK

This thread reminded me of a scene from some movie where there's a truck following a car, and the driver of the truck warns the car that one of his tail lights is out, before rear-ending it.
What's it from?

Don't panic. It might be that you briefly slipped into a dream where you hit the intersection, slowed down due to falling asleep and then actually hit it.

And that's why you need to be incredibly wary when you're near the woods, especially in the UP

To this day when I drive through there I think about what happened. It spooks me to this days.

definitely a skinwalker.

um you should not be driving
thats the exact opposite of what you do in an emergency

>be me
>be security guard
>be inna parking garage
>nope.webm

i wouldnt worry about it.

Funny thing is that this canyon is famous for paranormal/ufo sightings unbeknownst to me at that time.

he was signaling to put a helmet on?

helmet tap is indicative of police ahead

lidar is a method of measuring speed, he was likely approaching a speed trap

Holy shit, I'm surprised people from MN go on Veeky Forums.

I live in a nice part of Brooklyn Park, but y'know, it's still Brooklyn Park.

Kek. When in doubt, gas out.

nothing crazy, but freaked me out at the time

>we stop telling spoopy stories

I've driven through there at 3am and never seen anything, I have seen shit up in angeles crest though.

>Dagumi in drag

Not particularly spooky, but a dead cat in the road had its eyes open staring at oncoming traffic reflecting any headlights pointed at it.
Quite unnerving that night, but the next day it was flattened.

>laughing_hoplites.painting

I've been thinking about it the past few days and came to the conclusion that I should've just said "his automatic chariot". Seems a few people enjoyed it regardless and that really brightened up my day.

it was very clever and automatic Passat is funnier because it gives even more depth to the absurdity. Automatic chariot wouldn't have been as funny.

Bump, I'll post my story later

Dafuck ma man.

Hey, you guys see Nocternal Animals?

Why your abarth puntos are so shitty?
Even brazilian ones are better, and faster.
Dafuck india?

You are speaking like it's my fault. What the fuck am I supposed to do.

I have a sence that we are distant cousins or something.
I got really angry with fiat for doing this.
They dont give the brazilian T-jet ( a 4 door abarth) the abartyh badge, and wen they give to india the fucked up the car with this bullshit.

You deserv better.

That was so nice of you. But hey, I haven't drivent he Punto Abarth but it's got around 145hp and the base Punto is like around 90hp. Many of em around here don't complain anything about it but people do say the quality is all very skimped inside these cars.

That shit being?

I drove away from that place fast as I possibly could. Maybe it was one of the hill folk fucking with us, but we didn't see anyone or any other cars. It was just us.

what happened to it

Not super spoopy but

>Driving down trail in my truck
>Just getting dark on the way back into town

>go around bend and lose visual on person for about 10 seconds
>they are gone from the trail
>"where the fuck did they go?"
>Both sides of the trail are steep as fuck drops into a lake on one side and a ravine on the other
>person nowhere to be seen

my guess is they ran into the woods for some reason, idk tho shit was weird

2 ufos on one occasion, they merged then shot straight up, the other was when Switzer falls was closed due to bear activity and my buddy and I saw a couple of dudes in all black heading down. The last was when we were down in Switzer at night and we saw figures moving in the woods. Probably the same dudes in black we had seen on a previous occasion.
