Stupidest Thing You Did With A Car
#11
A couple times in peticular come to mind, out of a lot. The first was last summer, I had an asian girl over for the night who lived a state away. We were up real late that night yada yada... got less than 2 hours of sleep and had to get up for my friends graduation that day. Of course I was dead tired... That night after the graduation and party and all that, I was bringing her home at about 1am and was doing everything I could to stay awake, so she helped. Anyways... after I dropped her off I had another 2 hour drive home, mostly highway driving. I had to keep stopping at rest stops and going into bathrooms to slash cold water on my face and keep getting candy and more sugar to give me energy, which worked for about 20 mins after I left. I kept falling asleep at the wheel and waking up on the other side of the road, luckily with no cars coming. It was scary as hell and I barely made it home. The other time that came to mind was after I first got my Nissan, I took it out after our last snow storm that year. I came down my road through the windy part (I did not know how to drift) and figured I would try snow drifting. I gave it too much gas and it went right sideways, and I wasn't used to rear wheel drive to I tried to countersteer and give it more gas but I just slid out of control and off the road into a huge snowbank... and rolled myself very slowly up into a telephone pole, barely tapped it so it made no mark. Except my car was stuck in a huge snowbank and my front bumper was screwed, which led to the body kit in the late spring. I had to have my stepdad come down with his truck and pull me out of the snowbank haha.

not nessicarly stupid in the common sense, more that i didnt realize what my car could do, i was goin up an on ramp on my way home in the 510, it was raining a while before that, and all of a sudden the turbo spooled, my rear tire's broke loose, and i spun three damn times before i hopped a curb, busted my fuel line, and came to a stop, only damage to the car was the fuel line and the little puddle in the seat my buddy was with me and as soon as we got the car off the road he called his ex to let her know he loved her, i had a good laugh at that, i somehow find things that scare other people shitless pretty damn funny, i was laughin my *** off

I raced a Supra at 130+ mph (both of us N/A) thru a speed trap. I didn't have insurance/state inspection sticker/city sticker/registration was expired and I had a radar detector (Illegal in VA). The police officer wrote me a ticket for having a radar detector.
And I beat the supra.

In high school we use to jump this section of rail road tracks that could get you some tremendous air if you were going fast enough. I was riding in the back of my friends old chevy Luv pickup when we took the jump at about 75-80 mph. I was sitting right in the middle of the bed with my back to the cab, holding onto the sides of the bed as best I could. When we came down my *** was probably 10 or more inches in the air and it hurt like hell when we landed. I'm glad I was hanging on, otherwise I probably would of flown out. The road eventually got blocked off so you couldn't get to the tracks.

Learned to drive in a Ford Ka (bad idea because they like to be driven), a few months on the road, came to a 90 degree corner a little to fast and started understeering. Enede up stopping literally 2 inches from a gate.

Long righthand turn on a wide dirt road in the forest, I decide to give it a little gas to see what it would do. Slid the rear out, counter steered, and the open diff made it really unpredictable. I fishtailed back and forth a few times before spinning and going rear-first onto the dirt embankment (~1' high). Busted a hole in the already rusted stock muffler.
After I got an LSD, tried the same damn thing. Slid the rear out, counter steered, but I didn't steer enough, ran the front end up onto the dirt. Because of the small yet substantial dirt banks, I considered this situation safe enough (wasn't going very fast), but that's probably the most "I'm completely out of control" thing I've done in the car.
I go to an empty lot on occasion when it's rained, so "see what it would do" so I'm not caught off guard with the RWD.
