I didn't even tell him I was going to do it! He was cool with it, though.

My dad would've killed me for that. BTW I was learning how to drive stick when I was 14 on my dads Huynday Elantra and he didn't even know about it. But honosly I did a pretty good job for the first time.

Er.... did I forget to mention my dad was inside the car with me at the time?

It's not like I snuck out with it or anything. Peeling out is fun, but it would be a lot more fun in RWD.

My bro was living with my dad once, and there is a little carport behind the appartments, and one day when my brother gets home parking in the car port. He opens the door, and I guess goes to get something out of the glove compartment w/o putting the parking brake on. So they car started rolling back with the door open, and the door hit the support to the carport and tore off the foor.

So now all of the car is green except the door is gray. (My dad got another one at the junkyard.)

Another thing my brother did to this poor little car is pretty much kill it. He was driving home from college one day with a engine oil leak. I guess the gauge was messed up or something because he was running apparently a long while w/o any engine oil. He ended up breaking the camshaft right in half.

He's not a very good driver.

BTW, this car is a little green '78 Toyota Celica. His friends call it the "Gumby Car."

with parking brake you mean it was a automatic?? or the E-brake?

I only drive manual and never use the E-brake to park always leave it in gear (live in a flat country.. there are no hills here

)

I did a few ebrakes 180 degree turn arounds in my TT... it handles aweome! I like to burnouts with it! but i dont do that anymore, i start to pay for the tires.... lol $150 per tire.. I have already killed 2 tires because of e-brake manuvers and burnouts...

im a crazy driver sometimes.......

Post by **TheStig** » 18 Jul 2005, 06:49

your suposed to not to destroy the tires...

I have to say that I did some stupid things also.. *** slaps myself... *SLAP*BAD instructor*SLAP****

I while back when I was in luxemburg with my moms Hyundai Lantra I thought I could do a corner on a 90 khm road with 90... but later I found out that if they put red and white arrows in the corner that it is not advised to go faster then 50!
and it resulted in a full 360, I looked around if anybody seen it and drove away fast

thinking about it it was pretty dangerous.. cause on one side there was a rock wall.. and the other side a small 3 feet drop with trees...

I also have to confess that making handbrake turns is pretty damn fun.. but nothing beats snow driving... got to love the winter... going around roundabouts sideways

The stupidest thing I've done in a car (not driving of course cause I'm only 14) was yelling out the window like a kid. At least I think it was the stupidest thing I've done. I'll have to wait until I get my liscense.

ohhhhh yesterday was the day!! this is what happent:
i go at 6 pm to b-ball training and finish blah blah good game w/e...IGA (supermarket) is accross the street so my moms is like "ill go get some bread and coke" and im like ok, can i have the keys so i get in the car and listen to cd's she like ok...so im like (you wish im gunna listen to cd's) and i wait for her to go, then i start the car, rev it and drive off (its a huge parking next to the stadium prolly 60m x 100m) since its my mom's new car its auto...and im like i gotta learn how do drift this **** (not knowing that its basically impossible) i reach 50 and then guess what? press button on auto shifter (its and FF) shift to N, pull e-brake and turn hard! car spins madly into a 360 and im like "****!!" out of panic press button switch auto back into 1'st and car keeps going at 40k's redling like hell so i turn again and i pull out this huge drift (note: out of panic i havent put the e-brake down so all this time its on

) and i head right into a big dumper bin thing, hit it with about 7 k's, broke left headlight protector and scratched bumper (then took both headlight protectors off and my mum didnt notice

, parked it back nicely too

)

this was pretty scarey for a 14 year old

We should have a poll to see If people think this story is true, or false (cough!).

Post by **TheStig** » 18 Jul 2005, 14:04

uuh doing 50 on a parking lot.. even if that was in Km it would be way to fast..
theoreticly it could happen on a big parking lot...
but then again some people are stupid enough to drive like a extreme Idiot on a parking lot with.. well the word says is... parked cars and people walking around etc.. and then I wonder would nobody be suprised if they see a car doing a 360 on a parkinglot.. with a kid behind the wheel...

but he... could be me...

btw Cpt.Razkit, you can go sideways with a FWD car also.. as long as it is pretty icy it goes pretty well.... ehehe.. but then and I only did it a few times in the middle of the night.. around 4 AM, but he a RWD car is a bit more challenging to keep it from spinning out completely

stupidest thing ive probaly done in a car was spill soda on my cousins DS

Jopuma · Post by **Jopuma** » 18 Jul 2005, 17:27

I think that story is false. No way would a parent be that stupid to give their car keys to their kid. Especially if they know they're usually irrisponsable.

Stupidest thing this car site's ever done.

I don't know what the stupidest thing is I've done, I don't do stupid things with cars, but I do know what the stupidest thing is the owner of a modded 3-series car did last monday...

My mom was driving (Toyota RAV4, 150hp) and we saw this modded BMW 3-series (huge wing, bodykit, decals etc) and I said to my mother: let's do a little drag with that car. So she stops next to that BMW, waiting for a traffic light, and at the green light, we both take off........ we win with more that a car-lenght ahead, and you might think that might have been a coincidence, but at the next traffic light, we did it again

Hehe, I would've felt stupid if I was driving that BMW and this mom-in-her-SUV won from me

That guy doesn't know how to drive then, because I don't know what kind of Beamer gets beaten by an SUV.
