Stupidest thing i have done in a car...hmm..well, it had to be the 1st night I had my license. My dad baught me a 1992 Cutless Supreme. And well, i wanted to see how fast it would go. So i took it out to a road where I knew there was no cops. Got it up to about 110mph then i flew right by a house, and of course, they have to be finishing a drug raid at the time. I go by about 15 cops at 110MPH. I got lucky cuz my car is a light grey so its hard to see at night. But I got off that road and got home just fine. Then like a week later I got caught doing 60mph in a 45.

A new one, but it didnt hurt the car. My cousin's mom has a hard time finding our house, at around 11 PM. So we hopped in my dad's car, drove up to the top of my driveway(about a fifth of a mile...) and waited. When she finally got here, I put it in reverse and backed up so she could get in. Well I forgot to take off the E-brake, and I gunned it, doing a furnout, smacking the front of the car on the ground, and possibly waking someone up.

Im a bad driver, but my dad always waits till the last second to hit the brakes, so he is worse than me.

Actually, never played them. Only NSF titles i have are NFS II and NFS:u1 and 2. I just thought i was funny because I have never seen a cop on that road and i have been out there at least a million times and the 1st time I am able to drive myself, i run into the entire RIPD doing a drug raid on some1's house. Yea, I got my nickname because i have been on these boards for a few months just reading and i am hearing about all these nice cars and mine was super cheap lol.

Holy...how long did it take to finally get your license after that?

Stupidest thing? Stalled out 3 times in the middle of a big intersection. Or, on the highway, didn't quite engage 5th gear and floored it. The person driving next to me laughed. My brother-in-law drove my car all the way to my house (1.5mi) with the E-Brake on (he is about as good with a manual as me).

Stupidest thing i did was as follows.

i used ot go to college. and when the day was over, i reached into my pocket for my car keys.. and they were not there.. mass panic proceeded, and i started to hunt every place i went to that day looking for my keys.. tired, unhappy and still minus keys, i returned o my car to wait.. and lo and behold.. my car door was unlocked, and the Keys were still in the ignition!

I was relieved, untill i started the car.. well.. tried to. y'see, i left my lights on and my battery went flat.. so it was a walk to the college's motor vehicle department to see if i could get a jump pack.

I managed to get a jump pack and started the car. now it was dark, i was tired and fed up, and all i wanted to do was to go home. didn't want to use my heater cause that would drain the battery too much, and without a jump pack of my own, would probably leave me stranded if i stalled the car.

decided that i wanted to go home fast, and roared out of the car park. there's a right hand tun near the recycle bins, and it's pretty wide, so i thought i could use the handbrake to drift around it. problem is that when a hot hand touches a cold handbrake, it generates moisture. i pulled the hand brake up. was going to release it, but my hand slipped.. with the brakes still locked, i spun 180 and the passenger door collided with a rather large metal skip..

result, my Black ford Escort now has a blue passenger door..

Lesson learned, Never attempt complicated manouvers on a cold night

My dumbest moment was under my learner's license in a '97 Ford Taurus, my mom's car. I was driving home after practicing a lil' bit at an abandoned parking lot. I was just pulling into the driveway, when the damned cat runs out and startles me! The wheel straightens out and I run into our house's chimney, which was on the side of the house. I dented the front bumber pretty darn good, and left some nasty scrape marks on the chimney.

The dumbest thing Ive done (o mi god this is so embarassing) is when I got my first paddock bomb. A lil hatchback brown mitsibishi colt. It was my first manual and I was still learning. My dad said I wasnt allowed to drive it while he was gone but I just had to drive it. It was parked next to one of my dads workers cars. After like half an hour trying to start it I put it in reverse and started reversing really slow, but i ended up taking the corner too sharp and hit the workers car. I tried to fix it with spray paint (how dumb? i know) I was so scared I put my car back where I found it and ran into my room and hid unda my doona till my dad came home and I still denied it. The workers car still isnt fixed and I blew the colt up :( I also scraped the car on poles and everything else you can think of. It was my first manual and I was 13 leave me alone lol

Yes I do. I can't drive my Dad's car anymore because it's a company car, but I can still drive Mum's car. It's a 1995 Mitsu Verada wagon.
