Ok we needed to have some fun here!

I was working on my friends farm when i was 15 and I drove into a section of a pond that had a stream running into it. I was driving a 4x4 40k dollar John Deere with a Yamaha Diesel!

I had drove in this section of the pond before an this time i forgot to engage the 4x4 and got stuck! Then When I did engage the 4x4 it had sunk into the mud and we had to get a tow truck to pull it out!

I was in Italy and just moved into my place...I had only been there after work. Anyway, I had to meet the moving guys for my stuff during the day. So I'm going down one of the main streets and I notice something on the inner windshield. So, while driving, I attempt to remove the obstruction in my line of sight.

I hadn't noticed the city cop directing traffic at an intersection that I would normally have the right of way too. My wife screamed, and I slammed on the brakes...stopping just before hitting the young city cop standing in the middle of the intersection. He was shaking...seeing a huge American V8 Firebird must have made him piss his pants! He directed me to pull over and checked my ID. He realized that I was an American...and let me go without any tickets.

I felt like a dumbass!

I wasn't driving, but me and 3 other friends went mudding in my friend's CJ (a Jeep). We had the top off and we went up towards this lake. There's a section of beach where you have to cross the lake to get to another section of the lake. This lake isn't really a lake people go and visit so we started going back and forth between the separated beaches. I got the bright idea of standing up and holding onto the roll bar as we went through the lake. Well, that roll bar, when it gets wet, gets slippery. My friend gunned it and I essentially stayed in place and went right off the back.

I've created my own two track through at least 2.5 feet of snow in the woods back when I had my 4x4. Had to get out there and it took over an hour in what normally would be a 3 minute drive. 4x4 Low engaged, back and forth, got stuck a few times but was able to get out.

Here is where you all lose any small tinges of respect, that you may have had, for me:

1) First motor vehicle experience. Was on my grand father's farm and he insisted that I take the small bundle of hay in the golf car even though it was only a short walk to the bull/horse...etc. I ended up running into his chain link fence and killing the hinges. The hinges came out of my "pay"...

2) Dodge Stratus 2.4L rental car provided by guilty party's insurance who creamed my I30. At the time I was really interested in learning how to drift so a friend of mine gave me a quick straight-line-drift 101. He didn't, however, mention that I should attempt it at low speeds.

So I'm with another friend on a straight, open, low traffic road and I try doing a hand-brake drift at 60 mph. The car did a 630 (1.75 turns) and almost crashed into an embankment. The problem was that I was going to fast, I pulled the e-brake too hard AND left it locked, then I proceeded to slam on the brakes when we started spinning.

I scared the **** out of my "dare devil" friend in the passenger seat.

3) Taking a small radius freeway exit with a recommended speed limit of 25 at 85-90.

I was sleep deprived (10 hrs over 3 days), over caffinated, and STUPID. I had taken this turn at 60-65 on numerous occasions without any problem, but adding another 20-30 mph wasn't good. Couple that with the fact that some IDIOT pulled gravel from the shoulder into the off-ramp, and my lovely Tokico HP rear strut blew made for a most unpleasant experience.

We (me, "dare devil", and a chick) started sliding sideways. I hit my brakes, which made us turn even more sideways. I swerved to miss the "25 MPH" sign, and ended up grazing a chain link fence instead.

Later that night, on the way to see my gf, I guess the continued lack of sleep and some stupid masking tape, that the body shop left over my license plate light, got me pulled over. The police asked me if I was drunk or on drugs because of my driving. Then they saw the damage to the front of my car and asked me about it. I was too tired to lie straight, so I told them. They ended up holding me there until a deputy 50 miles away checked the scene of the accident and confirmed the damages (bent pole). I ended up with a point on my record for reckless driving, but no ticket.

This was about 2 months after I had my whole car repainted.

Not that I HAD any respect - see avatar for why, but willing to loose the rest for humor1. At 14 yrs of age, my cousin (about 17) & I were leaving his uncle's place in the country after a unsuccessful hunting trip. I had convince my cousin to let me drive down the 1/4 mile gravel drive. We were in my grandfather's 1961 push-putton transmission Dodge.Anyway, I tried to demonstrate to my cousin how to REALLY drive a car (note that I had watched way too much Starky & Hutch).I proceeded to spin the tires and fish tail - into a ditch where a tree jumped out in front of me. Dented the hood and popped a small hole in the radiator.

2. After finally getting my license, I rolled into another car at a stop light. I thought I had stopped and was busy getting something out of the visor. I looked down to see what looked to be the back of Sgt Carter bouncing up in down with his State Patrol hat on

3. After graduating college and working full time making more than min. wage, I got a new car - 84 Dodge Daytona Turbo Z POS. Had come back from partying and was at my friend's apartment with a bunch of other co-workers. I volunteered to drive for more beer. 4 of us piled in and I showed off in the parking lot heading for the exit....slammed into the curb knocking the wheel 2 inches into the wheel well. Continued on to get beer, but the car made a terrible noise when turning right!!!

LESSONS LEARNED:Learn how to drive before showing somebody else how to. Stay focused when behind the And, keep extra beers in the frig!!!!

I don't have many stories with vehicles as I have been extra careful all my driving life--never reported an accident or claim until 2 months ago when I reported a pebble from a dump truck hitting my windshield. I was once a jury in an insurance claim suit, and the judge could not beleive that I have never had an accident before--he thought that was remarkable.

However, I nearly had my first accident--almost rear ending a car in front of me when I first saw a G-35 coupe in the spring of 2003, driving into a gas station----I had no idea that one could literally stand on top of the brake pedal. But I did, as my litle nissan has no ABS.

It was love at first sight when I saw the G coupe--I thought no man on earth should ever have a car as beautiful as this---I shall never clear that memory in my mind---I lived with that memory for 4 years until I bought my coupe in 2007---my boss used to cut out any picture of the G-35 Coupe he saw in newspapers or magzines, and bring it to work, just for me.

I had a big huge picture of the G-35 coupe posted on one end of my cubicle wall, to remind me of what I must definitely do in this existence, so long as I am alive on this planet. Only a last breathe in this world would deny me a G-35 Coupe.

LOL'z

There are some cool stories here.I don't have many stupid stories my mom had a lot tho.

I have usually funny stories.

1 day we went on a long trip. We started early morning on a Saturday. Not too many cars on the HWY 401. The speed limit is under what is should be. They affraid to change it but been talking about it for too many years. Anyways. There is almost no cars on a 3 lane HWY. Driving just a bit over the speed limit till we caught up to a cop car. I was driving in the slow lane the cop in the middle and a Camry with a blonde chick in it in the fast lane. The cop was just a little bit front of us doing speed limit right on. Damn. Great I have 10 hours trip front of me and that's how I start. ARGH. Nobody else around us just the 3 cars. My wife started to gigle and told me to look at the blondy. She imitated an angry face and showed us she wants to the cop. We smiled.

After a second of thinking I raised my pointing finger to her like "watch this".<<< Famous bad thing>>>I rolled down my window and started to go faster. Just a litlle faster then the cop. Blondy just looked at me what I am going to do. When I approached to the cop I put my left hand out and started to paddling like I am in the boat and rowing and a huge on my face. The young cop looked over and started to laugh so hard so does the blondy. They both had a hard time to keep their cars straight. My wife kept telling me you are going to get pulled over you are going to get pulled over......when I was doing it. As I got a little ahead of them I rolled my window up to go back driving from rowing. I saw a big a$$ SUV and a trailer behind it on the side with a flat tire. I saw from my mirror the cop gets off to the side helping them. Blonde pulled right beside me rolled her window down and kept telling that was so cool that was so cool. You are one crazy dude. You are one crazy dude.

Not a big story but my wife keep brings this up as an example. She keep saying I can get away with everything.
