If you’re into cars, you’ve likely been to a car meet. If you haven’t, they’re basically an “event” organized by car enthusiasts who are usually part of a local club. Every once and a while, organizers will coordinate a time and place for people to meet, park their cars, socialize with other enthusiasts, and drive around together.

It’s a (normally) safe way to meet other enthusiasts and see their builds. Parker Jones, a popular automotive influencer on social media (@stangry5.0), is a regular at car meets with his heavily customized Corvette Z06.

Jones was approached by fans who asked him to rev his engine. Thanks to upgraded cams and an exhaust kit, his Corvette was much louder than the city’s sound limit for cars. Not long after he appeased his hungry fans, attendees guessed locals called the authorities.

Videos posted to his Instagram show him staging a “rev off” with another Corvette, with the caption, “Wonder why the cops got called.”

Police were reportedly waiting nearby for Jones to drive the Corvette so they could cite him for disturbing the peace. To avoid the police detaining him, citing him, or confiscating the vehicle, he came up with an ingenious plan.

Jones called a tow truck for his Corvette

If he wasn’t in the offending car, police can’t punish him, right? To evade police, he called a tow truck to have his Corvette hauled home.

“Car meet didn’t go well,” Jones wrote as the caption of a photo of him sitting in the Corvette on the back of the truck.

According to more videos he posted, the Corvette made it home safely, and he successfully avoided being ticketed.
