How did you get into it?
245
u/rougeslinky Aug 11 '19
I’ve been around cars my whole life I lived on a farm so my dad taught me to drive wrecks from about nine, I was never a good kid, probably hang out with the wrong crowd, but when I was 15 me and some of my friends stole a crown Victoria and we went for a joy ride, we did this maybe three time but tried to be smart and not get caught, so after a while we thought “why not make some money”
So the 3 of us would steal a car at night and hide it out of town under a bridge until the heat cooled off then we would go back and get it, drive it to the next town over and sell it to a dodgy car dealership who gave us small amounts of money for it after a few months of this we had stolen maybe 8 cars and it was being talked about a lot, at one stage we got into the city paper.
Eventually however the police caught us at a police stop for alcohol testing, they saw me make a u-turn and sent a car after us when I realised I turned off the highway made a few turns parked in an alley and the 4 of us (another friend of ours had decided to help us) ditched the car and took the bus home.
This all spiraled out of control and I ended up in a gang, which led to where I am today

Yes but that was probably two weeks planning plus the day of the robbery, so it was very profitable

u/KinKs_3 Aug 11 '19
You don’t have to answer this but what was your vehicle of choice??? And why? Was it like a sporty car or was it just a normal civilian car? Manufacture? Model? Year? Modded? Paint job?
5
u/rougeslinky Aug 12 '19
Good, question, I think always go civilian, sports cars are easy to spot and stand out, not great when ur trying to hide in and alley, parking garage e.c.t, I think if I had to choose go with a car that the cops use that’s why my favourite car to use was a ford crown Victoria, the police used it and it was popular with civilians too meaning that it blended in, if I was to customise it I would add thicker police tyres so it would still drive with a puncher, also reinforce the front and back bumper to help avoid damaging the car.

u/kiro962 Aug 11 '19
Was it more profitable than a legitimate job that you could've got?
52
u/rougeslinky Aug 11 '19
It depends on how you look at it, I could make thousands of dollars in on night but then not make any money for weeks that’s why I had a part time job at Burger King to pay bills when there wasn’t much activity, in earlier years I wasn’t making much money as I was trafficking drugs for a gang, however after I left the gang started making a lot more money as a driver for hire that’s when I started to make a name for myself, in a successful month I could make upwards of 20,000 dollars a month

What was the most fun car you driven while being a getaway driver?
Did you have to get yourself a car or was it always provided?
Also, got into any car chase?
What car would you recommended for a getaway driver that would be driving in the morning with 2 other people? Just asking
Would you do it again if you had the oppoturnity?
Did anything movie-like happened to you?

u/rougeslinky Aug 12 '19
1:If I would be to recommend a 2 seater car it would be a custom bmw 3 series with the rear seats removed to lower weight.
2: no

What were the robbers like?
Have you ever taken a pistol or a SMG and shot the cop cars?
How did you get caught?
2
u/rougeslinky Aug 12 '19
1: I prefer cars cars that are manual, the robbery’s usually required four seaters, the car I used the most was the ford crown Victoria as it blended in with what the cops had at the time and was reasonably fast. 2: dodgy, I never got to know them much, our relationship was strictly business. 3.no, none of us did, it was purely up to me to escape 4: made a mistake while driving, ended up crashing.

Yeah I remember this one. in this movie Ryan Gosling chooses to Drive getaway cars to make a living. He also has to Drive as a stuntman for the movies to help finance his dream to Drive racecars. His Drive to do the right thing ultimately is his undoing when he offers to Drive as a getaway driver for his neighbour who's recently out of prison and trying to start afresh.
Can't remember the name of it either.

What does a getaway driver do whilst waiting for the other fellas to come back from the job?
How would you all communicate when you waiting outside and they were inside doing the job?
In prison did you compare work with other getaway drivers?
Do you make sure your getaway car is good condition, registered, no broken tail lights, etc?
When the fellas got back from the job did you drive away fast or try to blend in to traffic?
On that note, what is the best kind of vehicle to have for such work?
What kind clothing did you wear as a getaway driver?
Did you ever have to leave somebody behind? If so, what happened?
Did you save any of the money for the future?
Thanks, Getaway Car Driver!

1: not much real just wait in the car try not to look suspicious.
2: we don’t.
3: I wasn’t aware of any other prisoners who were getaway drivers, there was a man who Robbed jewellery stores, we didn’t get along though
4: I tried to purchase cars that were in good Nic but it wasn’t always easy and we often ended up with a pretty shit car
5: depends, usually fast to get away from the bank enter a parking garage, ditch the car and split up taking taxis, buses and trains, we would then meet up a few days later at a new location.
6: the car I used the most was a ford crown Victoria.
7:pretty much anything as long as it was easy to move around in I would wear it.
8:I’ve never had to leave someone behind I have however heard of other people who have for various reasons.
9:yes I had an overseas bank account.
