The dumbest **** I've done was I drove my girl friend's car to drop her off at Cal Poly Pomona. Parked her car, pulled the e-brake and took an hour nap. Woke up and wanted to drive to a fast food place to get something to eat, but the damn car wouldn't start. When I turn the key, the engine didn't cough, starter didn't click. So I called the Cal Poly security guards to help jump the car thinking it might be bad battery. They came over, hooked the battery up, but the car still wouldn't start. At the end, the security looked inside the car and stared at me.... DUDE YOU DIDNT PUT IT ON PARK!

I hadda call my buddy with his jimmy and get him 2 pull me out..no dmg cuz there was snow in it. about half a week l8er on my b-day i tryed goin around a corner and ended up in a snowbank..whole front end was about2 feet off the ground cuz it got stuck half way up..so i hadda get 2 guys 2 push and i hadda keep rocking it..that was fun..-25 C. That was pretty stupid/not 2 much fun. That has 2 b the stupidest thing ive done besides duin a 40 foot drop on my skis in Qubec, or smokin weed laced with LSD.

about 5 years ago, when i had my 93 probe, i was cruising around town. i had my friend Bryson with me. we would turn around at the McDs and b4 i would pull out on the street i would pull the Ebrake and do a burnout to 2nd gear. did that about 4 times. on my way from McDs a kid yelled at me at a red light. i was prolly 8 cars back. He said "Turn'em over!".
i chirped them and took off. sitting at a light on my way back to McDs i noticed a cop pass me and stare right at me. i watched him in my mirror and noticed he did a u-turn about 4 cars behind me. when the light turned green i took off and turned down the 1st alley i saw, turned my lights off and sat there. I asked Bryson if the cop passed and he said "yeaa. oh, ****!" the cop saw me and turned in the alley. by the time he got out of his car there were 3 sheriffs cars, 4 city cops, 2 highway patrols and 1 K-9 unit surrounding me. they searched me, Bryson and my car. told me the reason he went after me was because the Mayor was sitting at McDs eating dinner and watched me burnout, plus a V6 with no cats and 2.5" exhaust gets loud. the dumb part: After he gave me my warning he told me that next time i try and hide from the cops i should turn my red neon underbody lights off. -------------------- Jared Harwell

The time my dad parked too close to my parking spot in the car port...
I thought I could make it around just barely... But I was wrong and backed into my dad's truck putting a slight dent in my side fender... Sucky thing was, it was the night I got my subwoofers installed and it was the day before my birthday... So, not only did I have brand spankin new subs, but I had a nice dent to go along with that for my Bday.... -------------------- 2003 Nissan Murano SE |

QUOTE(playr158 @ Aug 15, 2005 - 10:42 PM) wow drying to drift a supra on the street...not smart i deem you an idiot for hurting a decent good supra [right][snapback]324565[/snapback][/right] its not a decent supra..lol. Its an 87 Non turbo, automatic that i picked up for $500 for my first car. Both fenders were rusted out, passanger side turn signal was busted, rear 1/4s are rusted, hole in the rear drivers side rear wheel well, diff was leaking, trans was on its way out, motor had 235xxxkm on it, hatch leaked, when i bought it the exhaust was rusted out, no breaks in the rear and the fuel lines leaked. Only good things about it was the inteior(even though the radio didnt work), the seats were mint. i ended up throwing about $1000 into it to get it into semi good condition. Replaced the fenders, passangerside turn signal, made a plate to mount to the MAP to fit a cone filter on it, replaced exhaust. It was far from decent. |

I was in my brother's mr2 and it has a turbo timer. he gets out and i say "wait give me the keys i need to get the cd out" so i put the keys in the ignition, take the cd out and totally forget to take the keys out. then we went for a loooooong drive in my friend's car right after. when we came back the car was on because since the keys were in the ignition, it kept the turbo timer on so the car stayed on for about 4-5 hours with the doors unlocked and the t-tops were off too lol got pretty lucky that nobody stole the car... so i gave him 10 bucks for the gas i wasted.

[right][snapback]325823[/snapback][/right] I've done something similar to that... LOL This is what I did... I went out to get gas, I came home, I got outa the car, saw that the headlights were still on, whch they shoulda turned off when I gotta outa the car, so I reach in car confused about the headligts, turn em off, and then i walkd back inside... Like a 15 minutes later, we ere gonna go somewhere and take my car, Im looking evey where for my keys, then my dad broght up the fact that they couldstill be in my car, cuz sometimes by accident Ive left them in there... I go outside to the car and realize... that the car was still running and that I never turned off the car when I got home... I was so embarassed... I felt real smart that day... I still dont see how I couldnt hear the engine idleing, even after I checked a second time... Oh well...
