challenge? hehe

- ok in my chrystler e-class i had a bunch of friends in my car and it was raining, i was showing off and ran through a stop sign on accident. think that's bad enough? well there's a left turn up the road, i slowed down alittle bit thinking i could make it.. NOPE!! slammed straight into cement barrier, didnt hurt the Eclass Tank though!!

- got mad at eclass one time and kicked the side of it, made a gigantic dent in it! LOL

- parked my mustang in the bronx (big mistake) yep car got stolen :rolleyes:

- got my F150 the day of my HS homecoming in 98, it was a stick and i wasnt use to driving a truck with a 5 speed, compared to my old mustang. well stalled otu a bunch of times. after homecoming i cresened my truck for the first time, hehe, got busted by some old lady!! EMBARASSING!! i seen her comign up with a flashlight i didnt have time to put my pants on so i just started the truck and left a big smoke screen and flew otu of there!!!

- busted doin the hippidey-dippidey in the truck again outside of bank of america!! LOL saw someone walking towards me, was parked out by no one else, then i saw a car pull up behind me, i layed a smoke screen again so the car behind me couldnt see plate #, then the car woudltn get off my ass so i was doin autoX in a f150, hehe, my truck's a beast!!

- had a flat tire and couldnt figure how to get the spare down from under the truck! LOL, my friend who had a old ass mazda protoge knew how to get my tire down and i didnt "doh!

- in GS did a power break to show off for a girl in a cavalier, then i let go of the ebreak and took off leaving a long stretch of burnt rubber then WHAM!!! hit a curb at about 50mph! doh!! bent frame, busted front/ rear axel, scraped up bodypannels, dented scraped the hell up rims, and some other stuff.. told insurance someone ran me off the road

- had massive street race get togethers every friday night on this back road. well one night after having raced at teh same place for about 3 months a cop shows up and there's about 30 cars! So i'm the first to see them all cause i'm the car parked at teh finish line and everyone else is parked along both sides of the road behind me... so i see the cop yell (like on the movie OH SHIT COPS!!) and everyone gets in their car and takes off, i'm facing the wrong direction so i have to turn around, and by this time i'm in the back of the pack!!! and there's a slow celica infront of me, so i pass that guy then try to get away from the cop!! the whole pack goes left so i take a right at a stop sign and WTF the ####in cop follows me!!!! ARGHH, so i floor it knowing the backroads pretty good, this is in a GS btw :) dont see the cop lights anymore so i pull in a driveway and turn the car off... cop flys by me, i shoulda waited longer casue when i turned the car back on there was like 3 cops pulling in behind me!! *doh!!

cant think of anymore now, sorry about my stories :)
 
Would take my Talon out before I had my license. Got it over 130mph, too.

A couple of us went to a cemetary on a boring night...it was raining early. Well, we found an open area of just grass and mud... Got my car spinning and drifting in the top of 3rd gear! That sure was fun at the time. Then on the way home, at any speeds above 60mph, the car would hella shake. Turned out just to be mud stuck inside the rims...:p

Launched my car like twice a day for the first week I owned it.

Went on a road trip in a DSM. Brought only enough money to get there...I was gonna race ppl for gas money to get back. Well, the third day in Chico my car decided to run like crap, then not even start. Towed it to a local dealer...he said head gasket, quoting $1k. Fugg that. My mom picked us up, and my neighbor towed my car to ProStreet the next week...where its still at now, getting a whole new-used 6bolt. Head gasket wasn't the problem apparently.

On a rainy night, I almost understeered the Camry into a curb.

Ran into a curb while turning when my friend was pointing out a GSX behind me.

Car stalled at a Mickey D's drive thru. 3 girls were in the car.

Ryan :D
 
- oh LOL i had issues with backing up my boat of an Eclass!! LOL at the light i backed up into my band teacher!! LOL, i was good in band so he didtn report me *score!!

- had a friend in teh car, backwindow was fogged up and i wanted to back up to go into a different turn lane while waiting for teh stop light.. backed up into another student's car! doh! didnt do any damage really so i didnt get in trouble!

- in the F150, i backed up into a parkin spot and jumped the curb when it was icey... well only having 2wd i got stuck and a bunch of *nonwhite guys* helped me get out! i was suprised, and to show them my appreciation i took them to their hangout place so they didtn have to walk in the snow :)

- backed my truck up into a chevy S10, dam chevy was soo low i didnt see it!! LOL, they didtn charge me though, lucky!

- towed my dad's boat to the lake, backed the boat down the ramp, no one told me when to stop so my whole back wheels and muffler were in the water.... = no good at all OMG so that was hard as hell only having 2wd cause the wheels were spinning like crazy underwater!! but i got out luckily

- cool thing about my truck is a friend rented a tow trailer and wanted me to pick up a honda civic for him. so we go there and he had a harley davidson he wanted me to bring to delaware too (stuff was in maryland) so we put the harley in the bed of the truck and close the tail gate, then we put the car trailer back on the truck and he tries to drive the civic up the trailer then BAMMMMMM!!!! the trailer comes dis-connected and fawks up my tail gate!!! oops.. But for a V6 it had no problem hauling a honda civic and a harley davidson!! :) Ford Truck's Own!

i had my civic and there was this back road with nothing but cabbage patches on both sides. no place for cops to hide. evertime i am there i just floor it and go. well i didn't know that the day before the county had layed about 2-3 inches of gravel donw halfway down the road. i hit the gravel at around 110 mph and it was really loose, not yet compacted. i started to swerve right and left and then the car got sideways i missed a telephone poll by about 2-3 feet and then flew into the cabbage patch and as quick as the car went in it came back out and it looked all camaflauge(spelling)out with bushes and cabbage all over it. it got all over my exhaust to see here is this cabbage car driving smelling like burnt cabbage :laugh:

LOL cabbage :thumb:
 
it was in my 2nd car a 96 mitsubishi mirage 5spd i was following my friend in his 2gen integra with skunk2s in this area in a rich neighborhood that had twists and turns perfect for a nice little road handling action and i was trying to keep up with him my tires were squealing at 45 to 50 he was going like 60 to 70 mph cuz of his better suspension anyways we found that at that speed a 90 degree turn no matter how good your suspension is you cannont make it especially with water on the turn i ended up hitting a 500lb rock that catapulted my light mirae over a small 10 foot tree and into someones front lawn my friend was 100 ft ahead of me stuk on the curb i hit my head cuz i wasnt wearing a seat belt on the celing of the car and opened the door fell out got up 10 secs later and just started laughing so hard...... that was trully awsome but extremely dumb cops busted our asses but it was worth it:D ps. i had bought a 4g63T engine for that car for a future swap for my mirage tahts how i learned about the engine till i wreked my car and i got my DSM :)
 
-i was going down one of my buddies streets at like 25 in my old explorer sport 2wd with about 4 inches of snow on the ground, thinking it was fun to keep mashing the gas pedal down and spinnin the tires. well i lost control and the car started swerving and i flew up the curb missing a tree on the right by about 2 feet and a big set of electrical boxes on my left by about 5 inches and ended up on their doorstep. so i backed her up and just drove out LOL

Oh and a couple of my buddies that i used to plauy hockey with lived in grosse point michigan. every year they would make these huge snowmen in front of their houses and people would always come and fly up on their lawn and deck em. well this year we had the great idea of building one over a firehydren. funniest damn thing ive ever seen. this dude in an older explorer comes flyin up with all his buddiies and just drills the snowman and the car just stops. he knocked the hydren half over and there was water sprayin all over the place and he had to get his whole front replaced and a new engine!! funny shit. :laugh: oh yeah they got tickets for a fire hazard and covering the fiore hydren but it was worth it :thumb:
 
i let a girl drive my 87 iroc-z 5.7 when the streets were wet. she had never driven anything with close to that much power, or a rear wheel drive car before. needless to say we ended up doing a 180, slid backwards for about 60 ft. then hit a curb. we jumped over the curb slid across the sidwalk, over a trech that had just been cut, and into a dirt pile. i got out to inspect the damage and my rear driver-side rim had shattered and the tire was half way off. later on i found out that the rear axle had been bent also. then i traded it in on my eclipse......
 
ok i got you beat. one night i had a oil leak, i add oil thiner on accident, later that night pull up to a light with a wrx and decide to go for it. Doing 'bout 60 when my car starts smoking, I pull over and open my hood and a shit load of smoke comes out........my vavle cover gasket gave up a LOT of oil on the the manifold and the manifold was one fireOMG Oil was EVERYWHERE, waited an hour and then drove my car home at 20..............


then ok , my frined in his 90 le sabre. we rolled a 3 foot wide snow ball in to the middle of the road he hit the snow ball at 30 , took out his entire grill and mangled his license plate...LOL :thumb:
 
I was in my Tempo driving home from work and i decided i wanted to use my phone...I looked down for a minute to find the number, and then when i looked back up i realized that i was going off the road into the dirt and stuff. As a reflex, i jerked the wheel to get back on the road...stupid idea when you're doing about 65 LOL.. this flung my car out of control making it fishtail all over the place and finally turned my car 180 in the middle of the road! scared the S!#* out of me. I was just glad that no one was around...A truck came up the hill while i was trying to turn around, but he slowed down for me. I never try to dial a number while driving anymore LOL.
 
When I had my old Ford Escort (before my bro destroyed it, LOL) i was heading back from choir practice one night, and decided to see how it would do hills.

I was ripping down one hill and up the next, brothers hollering the whole time, when I realized our turn was up ahead, and I had nowhere near enough time to stop.

I hit the brakes and turned left hard. The car's ass end whipped out, and when it was even with the turn, I stomped the gas. The car shot down the new road like a rocket and it wasn't until we were home that it hit me what we had almost done.

Fun times, tho. :thumb:
 
convince my ex-gf that I can still maintain control of my car while recieving roadhead :D
 
umm lets see...

During the time when i was taking finals i took my moms car(2000 Dodge Intrepid ES) out and was driving around with friends. Well while at the park i put it in reverse and gunned it, cut the wheel, did a 180, and smacked the curb, only damage was a lost mudflap.(she still dont know about it)

When driving my friends car up the back side of this rode at like 100 racing his brother i hear sirens and saw some flashing lights behind me. So the dumbass i am i cut off onto this back road and out run the cops(fun as shit LOL)

I wasnt driving in this one but a couple months me and five other friends were riding in this kids 3000Gt and we were flying down this back road in the dark and we miss a turn butone of the guys in the car said this road goes straight to the main road but he was wrong and there was a 90* turn. We slammed on the brakes, hit gravle in teh road and slid into some guys barn. The car was gone.

There have been other small incidents(sp) with the cops but im not going into detail. I guess thats why i dont have a DSM anymore.
 
hehehe......................banging away in my car infront of my gf house.:shhh: does'nt seem to bad,how about both of here parents are cops!!!!!!!!:thumb:

the local drainige canal had about i 3ft difference from the ground to the top.hit it at about 110mph in my buddys 69 mustang,####ing sparks everywere
 
shit now that i think of it.2 nights ago my gf sister was playing hide the meat pole in her boyfriends truck.little did she know that she had qued up her nexttel and was sitting on it.her parents listen to about 6 min. of her moaning. i was dying.my stomach still hurts.:p
 
ok this is really stupid. its not funny but now that i think about it it was really stupid. when i lived in upstate NY at night we used to fly around the country backroads and just turn our lights off completely at night. we would whip around turns and try to remember the road and get by with just the light from the moon. pretty crazy stuff but really stupid also.

LOL..youll have to let me know sometime about the dsm incidents..oh and when i had my beretta(that was when i was ignorant to everything because i just got my liscence) i was going down bloomingrove road at like 50 and tried to turn onto another road and almost slid right off the road into a creek with a friend in the car and no liscence..i drove for 6 months before i ever got my liscence and never got stopped once..that car was evil..i havnt gotten stopped once in any dsm yet(knocking on wood very hard) LOL..i guess im a pretty smart driver now and i dont do alot of the shiat i used to do when i first got my liscence but every kid goes through that stage..
 
Sneaked out my moms contour 1 night and when i was driving it back up the driveway i forgot to brake and slammed in the garage, parents came out all crazy, didnt get in trouble though :D
 
ah chris i got a story about bloomingrove road. I wasnt driving but my friend and i were out in the rain driving around in his altima with pretty much bald tires. So we were going about 80-90mph down bloomingrove and there were two cars comming towards us. we were almost up on the two cars and the one guys pulls out infront of us to go into his driveway. my friend slams the break and we start to slide. Im holding onto the "oh shit bar" for dear life. We miss the back bumper of the one car and the driverside mirrow was over top of the the other guys hood. That was pure amazement. I could not belive how close we came to those two cars. Its just amazing. You and i should go out driving sometime. I gots some mad skillz, i scare the shit out of you LOL
 
heres mine
I lanched my 98 awd spyder a over 2 lanes of the 4 lane road I did not see the big dip on the first set of lanes I was do around 60 with the top down I was glad I had my belt on I came down and crused the front bumper crushed the oil pan and the tranny pan down pipe luckly I did not destroy anything elce on the car.
