Yes that's some bitch ass shit to not pay. 50$ isn't even that much $. Even back then. If you pulled that when I was street racing, first you got your ass beat. Second no one within 5 counties would ever race you again.
“I think minimum wage was like $1.87 an hour or something.” While wearing a shirt that says ‘Gangster Rap Made Me Do It.’ That subtlety was not lost on me.
@@christophermichaels hey Christopher...at first i thought your reply waa to me because my first name is John too, ha! I lived in Athens, GA from 1999 to 2006 and was active in the music scene as I waa a fulltime musician at the time. Did you play in any bands? You look familiar brothah!
Yeah I got one that says “life ain’t nothin’ but bitches and money.” Also a Ice Cube quote. It’s funny to see people’s reaction when they learn that not only do I have a GF that she’s the one that got me the shirt.
That used to be common. I'm only 36. I was 7 or 8 when I started steering from my dad's lap. I was 9 or 10 when I learned to drive a manual truck.it was just a small Mazda. The people at the gas station sold us a cigar when we took the truck one time. We didn't even smoke it. Just wanted to see if they'd sell it to us
@@truevegas yeah it's sad how much things have changed in a short time. I remember seeing something a few years back about a kid that was allowed to drive down a little road and the parent shared the video on social media. Children's services got involved because of the video. It is not surprising kids sit infront of a screen and develop no social or practical skills these days
@@timmythompson2186 True that. I guess just have fun but don't broadcast it then. I'm buying a big property so my kids/family can drive around and ride dirt bikes as they grow up. Some real world fun and makes them better drivers later in life. No point in wrapping kids in bubble wrap, even though that seems to happen a lot these days too 💁♂️
Depends on what you consider "normal". I was a teen in rural Alabama in the 80s, a lot of his stories sound familiar. Not like "he stole them" familiar, but "I've had similar experiences" familiar.
@@mikez650 Exactly. I was a high schooler in the early 90s, and that's about half of what I made most weeks. A slow week, closer to 80 percent. Not enough, even then to shoot at someone over, but it still happens now, over less. Hell, I got stabbed over $10 once, back then. Still have the tip of the knife, that stuck in a rib and snapped off, in a cigar box. Told the guy to keep the money, after beating the everlovin shit out of him. Figured he needed it more at that point.
@@Cal94 on a modern vehicle you'd probably need to mess with the computer. Not saying old cars were so much better back then, but it was simpler for sure, and thus easier to do self repairs and, ahem, modifications.
Believe it was one of Smokey Yunick’s tricks, have an on / off switch for the brake lights so anyone trying to out brake you slides off the track. Also good fun to have the brake lights on while you’re actually accelerating away...
Just be careful to remember that after you come back to it after being stationed overseas for 6 months. I got pulled over for no tail lights as a result. Had completely forgot about them being on their own switch. That led to no insurance ticket because I had just flown in on a Friday night and was jazzed to see some friends. No insurance led to impound and a $2,000 fine to get it out. Thankfully I kind of knew someone with some power and he got it down to $500. Expensive trick! 😄
@@andmicbro1 nope just 2 switches. On running to your lights the other to the tail lights. Flick switch break circuit lights die out. Seen a 2017 mustang done up like that for like 20 buck. What ever 2 lengths of 10 foot wire and 2 switches from princess auto
He is the most entertaining story teller on VINwiki with the funniest, most incredible adventures that I have ever heard. If you have any doubts about the validity of his tales, then you have never met this amazing man.
Christopher is such a great storyteller! :D Christopher & rabbit are both on the No. 1 spot of my (imaginary) VINwiki-storyteller-list. Always existed to hear another story from both. :)
Thee absolute Best. Beside what is happening in the story, it's how he describes particular details that add an element to his stories. Really allows you to be there in the moment. When you go through ordeals like this, through all the commotion and excitement certain little details seem to stick with you for no apparent reason but when you see, or hear them, it brings it all right back.
Finally,a story I believe. We used to do all these tricks when he hid from cops. We called it 'The TD' switch for Total Dark. Killed interior, brake, dash, and headlights.
still at the beginning of the video but I know it's going to be a good one so I'm going to thumbs up it right away because this guy has the best stories
At this point I have stopped even caring if the stories are true or not (not that I have any doubt), they are just so INTERESTING that I have to keep listening. What a great story teller
This guy is FASCINATING!! He was a real life “Dukes of Hazzard”!! I grew up at the same time In Tennessee doing the same things😆😆 I’m surprised that I survived. Thank you Vinwiki!!
ONLY Christopher will wind up getting shot at after a street race. Whenever I look at VINwiki's video collection I click EVERYTHING with his face on it!
Because you're probably a frequent visitor to this channel like me. 😁 I don't even look at the title of the videos any more. I see Chris' face, I click!
![Noob To Max With DRAGON REWORK In Blox Fruits [FULL MOVIE]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/LnBMOinoOvA/mqdefault.jpg)
This guy's life is an action movie.
None of it is real. He makes up his stories.
@@RUclipsHandlesAreStupid ok thank you for the input tim
Just the notable parts, like everyone else’s.
never let a pesky little thing like the truth get in the way of a good story
HAHAHA!! Yeah I have to agree with you, it would be a great movie.
How is it possible, that Chris never disappoints with his stories?
How's it possible he's still alive :D
National treasure
For real bro... mans life would make a crazy TV/Netflix show
He's says yes
Because he is awesome!
Bullet nearly hits him, "they were just trying to scare me", goes to check on them after they crash, what a guy
ikr if I was in his shoes I woulda left them as is. I hate not to help people but in this situation, molotov cocktail seems like the drink of choice
@@pateld1218 exactly, lighting their gas tank on fire seems appropriate to me. Eye for an eye.

Must be the local #GoodGuyGreg
My thoughts exactly gets shot at multiple times, they were probably trying to scare me
Lol
This still happens today. Really sad to see. A win is a win, fair and square. Don't race for money if you can't afford to lose.
Sometimes people aren't truly racing with money on the line, sometimes it's their ego. That's more dangerous than any type of currency in the world.
@@NadorFootage agreed
Like that valley racing video of the 2jz 240sx losing
Yes that's some bitch ass shit to not pay. 50$ isn't even that much $. Even back then. If you pulled that when I was street racing, first you got your ass beat. Second no one within 5 counties would ever race you again.
Hopefully Travis Bell tells some stories other than the dukes stuff. I like him as much as Chris.
How about another insane Christopher Michaels story to start your week off?
This just made my exam week better.
Make him come up there every week or give this man a podcast. I will bankroll it
Just seeing the title you know it's him. This guy is amazing!
Makes my week so much better
Yezzir
When driving since he was 8 isn't even in the top 10 cool and weird things Chris has done and seen
Learned to drive a cj5 with a 302 swap side pipe exhaust at 9. Had to stand on the pedal to get it to the floor.
I miss that jeep
His dad used to make him drive around with a cup of water in the cup holder...
@@benbunch4159 What kind to deliveries would he be doing in country
@@SaabStory636 I worked at the only pizza place in 400 square miles (20x20 mile square). We were busy!
@@christophermichaels Yep that definitely is what a country Takumi would probably deliver
“Kids don’t street race”
Well why’d you make it sound like so much fun
he said don’t street race i heard don’t street race without a strap
“I think minimum wage was like $1.87 an hour or something.” While wearing a shirt that says ‘Gangster Rap Made Me Do It.’ That subtlety was not lost on me.

@@christophermichaels it’s the “case that they gave me.”
Lmao he’s wearing a shirt saying “gangster rap made me do it” 😂😂😂
Its a song
Ice Cube baby! I still remember all the lyrics from that song from the Midnight Club LA game
Ain't nuthin to it.
@@Benny--- gangsta rap made me do it
Yeah I got one that says “life ain’t nothin’ but bitches and money.” Also a Ice Cube quote.
It’s funny to see people’s reaction when they learn that not only do I have a GF that she’s the one that got me the shirt.
When I see Chris I know it’s gonna be a good video.
Damn right
Amen to that
Amen😭
Been waiting for another one for a while, it's the only ones I'll listen to other than Ed and the car hop guy
Hands down my favorite presenter
“I turned to street racing” didn’t we all😂
Chris' stories are damn near as good as Rabbit's. They are hands down the two best storytellers on this channel.
‘Story’ tellers….🤦♂🤦♂🫣🫣🫣
I feel like he's never gonna run out of stories 😂
The day that happens will be a sad day indeed.
Only limited by his imagination.
I hope he never does
@@AdamGreenwell Much like the day Hitchcock or Kubrick died.
Cavemen never do. 😉
This man is probably the best story teller on VinWiki
Chris holds the belt as best current storyteller. 2021- whos gonna try and take that belt ??
No one. Rob and Chris are the best and Doug Tabbut is good too
You telling me you believe all the these made up stories?
@@homer5103 you think Chris makes up his vinwiki stories ? I think you are wrong, and they are true.
@@joecramer9256 you got me man, i cannot tell if you're being sarcastic or not
I bet Doug Demero would be an amazing story teller (forgot how to spell his last name hopefully it’s right)
“I’d been driving since I was 8.” 🤣🤣
But yet he says it like it’s nothing haha. Just kinda just says it’s keeps going like , ya I said that but it’s not important lol

There was no WAY this wasn’t gonna be a Christopher story. Great way to start off the week!
Chris has by far the best stories, and he tells them so well.
I'm amazed at how clear he is when new describing confusing and chaotic circumstances. He should be a teacher. He has a gift.
This guy never had a normal day in his life
“Gangster rap made me do it”
Depends on what you consider "normal". I was a teen in rural Alabama in the 80s, a lot of his stories sound familiar. Not like "he stole them" familiar, but "I've had similar experiences" familiar.
$50 in today’s money is around $99 imagine a shootout and rollover for $50 😂
Yeah but he's not comparing it to today's value he's comparing it to being broke. That 50$ means everything.
Yeah I was thinking the same, about $100 isn't much.

I do I am like oh 996 story Doug oh Lamborghini murci Ed and like that

🤣🤣
And I got it right by the picture 😂
everyone knows when its this guy.
Christopher is such a great storyteller! :D Christopher & rabbit are both on the No. 1 spot of my (imaginary) VINwiki-storyteller-list. Always existed to hear another story from both. :)
He's always in the most sketchy of situations lol
Favorite story teller, hands down.
Chris tells the best stories. I really want to buy all the drinks and just listen to him talk.
Man, it's amazing Chris has so many crazy stories and he doesn't even take drugs.
Lol
Chris never has a bad story he has the wildest one
I love Chris he’s so good at telling his stories!
Holy crap my heart was racing the whole story!! Love it!! We need more of him!

It’s not just Christopher’s stories are good, it’s also how good he is at telling them. One of the best guys to be featured.
He needs to write a book about all his adventures
Love that the picture from "catch me if you can" made the video! Love that movie!!
Imagine playing that "Never Have I Ever" Drinking Game with Chris.... He would probably pass out. Love this guy's story delivery. Another Legend

Chris is the guy whose advice you listen to because it’s a safe bet that he has been through whatever wacky situation you bring up.
Chris’s story time just continues to impress me! Becoming one of my favorites for sure on VINwiki
Each title that I see of vinwiki I try and guess who tells the story and my guess was right today, love the Chris stories!
Chris tells the best stories, he's so laid back and cool.
This guy always has the craziest of stories
Because they're not real.
Always a good time when Chris tells a story!
Why I'm not surprised when Chris said they shot at me.....
Because it’s in the title and thumbnail
This guy in the very least needs his own playlist on the channel
This guy has got to be the most interesting guy on the planet
I was having a bad Monday until I saw a new story from Christopher was posted. Love his stories.
Thanks for watching Vile!
"Gangster rap made me do it" Damn, that's my favorite Ice Cube song..

We don’t even know what it is, really.
@@johnh2349 its an app that finds you mods and parts

Love this guys stories!
Another great one! Real guy telling real stories giving wicked good advice! Thank you
The simpsons could write a whole season off his life
You know “Snake” and Cletus would be central figures.
Chris' stories just make me want to go out and drive down the highway until my tank is empty
I remember doing that when I was young and stupid. I had an Olds 98 I used to run up 400 from exit 5 to exit 14.
The Alpharetta Autobahn? Lol
I love this dude, he's a gold old boy who never lets down with his calm but entertaining stories...
Next week story: Chris minding his own business goes to the supermarket to buy salt, little does he know he gets in a car chase from drug dealers.
I'm going to start the movement - Christopher MUST be the next guest for an AMA subscriber milestone.
His shirt could not be more perfect
One of the best stories I've ever heard
The nova driver is a U.S. Senator these days.
Chris has the best stories.
Only Christopher gets into these situations
Loved this. We did the same brake light trick back in the 80s!
This man lives a life more interesting than most of us can even dream of. Never disappoints!
Chris is my favorite he has like the most interesting storys and he tells them like a movie kind of
Chris has the greatest stories. Imagine him at the hood BBQ shit would be so lit.
The second I saw the title I knew, it’s Christopher, man has some great stories. Keep em coming!
When the story about almost dying reference multiple other stories about almost dying you know the story is about Chris. 🤣

Ahh, insanity.. better than coffee on Monday morning
I knew who this was going to be, just based upon the title! Couldn't click the link quick enough. Love his stories.

They need to make a movie about Chris and all of his stories. He never disappoints lol

So chris is gonna be on the next car trek right? Danger seems to follow him close
Best storyteller on this channel! Maybe on YT.
Me reading the title: This is a chris video isn't it??

Can we get a whole season on this man? Every story is wild and interesting!
This guys life sounds like the old fast and furious

He is the long haired, real life Bandit 😂

I genuinely though this was going to be about the shoot out at a street race near me in KC
I like it when he links 2 other stories to this one.
He does that because he KNOWS that we know his stories, by heart. That, my friend, is confidence he has in himself .
Saw title, knew it was going to be Chris haha
Y’all are wild as hell racing on back roads late at night like deer don’t run the roads for fun 😂
