We used to engage in an activity dubbed "bar in the car." Sheriff's department put an end to that tradition.

[gwoods]

I fell asleep driving home from Grand Canyon. Killed large tree with passenger side of my first car.

Had underage GF (16 I was 19) and 4 of her female friends in the same car, thought I would show off. Hit the curb and popped a tire LOL

Arizona boy, moved to Kansas City for a year. 1st big snow I tried to take the turn into my office at my normal 40 mph in my 2001 Altima. I turned the wheel but the car kept going straight, over the curb, into the field around and around and around. My boss pulled me out of the field with his 4x4 truck and proceeded to lecture me about the differences between driving on snow/ice and dry LOL

Driving on a soupy muddy road in my 1965 CJ-5 in 4 wheel high 2nd gear. I would turn the wheel all the way to lock left and drive sideways until the backend started to pass the front then I would slam the brake pedal and turn the wheel to lock right and drive sideways the other direction. We were all laughing until my outside rear tire dug into someone elses buried rut. It took me forever to get the Jeep back under control we were on 2 wheels multiple times I still don't know how I managed to keep it from rolling!

When we stopped at the next gas station to buy more beer the Jeep wouldn't start. I popped the hood, it had come so close to rolling over that one of the battery cables had pulled out of the terminal !!!

Peeled out of gas station and almost sideswiped a marked Phoenix Police car! the guy pulled me over and cussed me out for about 10 min and then got back in his crusier and left. I think I scared us both LOL

Buddy had a bike mount in his blazer it rusted into his hitch. We worked on it forever but could get it out. I suggested CHAINING it to the frame of my car then at 3 honks we both mash the gas in opposite directions and see if we can pull it out. It came out all right, but came hurtling into the back of my car putting a huge dent in the trunk.

Playing in a empty parking lot I lost control and killed a plastic shopping cart. The metal frame jammed under my front suspension.

I had a buddy who had a POS 76 Nova, we were messing around in an empty parking lot and he lost control and ripped one of the tie rods clean off.

2 of my buddies had crotch rocket motor cycles and they were messing around on the freeway, one of them rearend the other and the bikes LOCKED together. They managed to get stopped with out wrecking but I was following them in my car freaking out.

My mom backed into everycar I owned while I lived at home One night in 96 I came home and my dads 95 F150 bed was F'ed the whole way down the passenger side and my moms 96 Tbird was F'ed the whole way down the drivers side and there were multiple burnout marks up and down the driveway. I didn't even go inside to see what happened I just went to a buddies house and crashed there.

When I came back a couple days later I found out my mom had backed into my dad. He was coming home and pulling into the driveway when she was leaving.... she says she never saw him LOL I joke with her if I were dad she would be buried in the backyard after that LOL

Gwoods:

Awesome!

I laughed my a$$ off, so hard that I had that i could not stand up. Well done! Man, you had a great life with far more fun than i have had.

[AZhitman]

Someone find my pic of the brand new Pontiac G6 that I rallycrossed in VA...

[infinitgkid]

Went back to the year 1955 in my Delorean...

Met up with my friend Doc Brown only to realize that I had the insufficient amount of material need for the flux capacitor to keep "fluxing"...

Ended up spending a couple days in 1955... thats a whole 'nother story for a whole 'nother day...

I will never EVER do that again... and they told me going into the past would have been a cool vacation... and I believed them!

What was I thinking?

[Beancooker]

Bought an '86 Chevy Cavalier. Paid $200. Split the cost with my buddy Joey. We stopped at the lumber company on the way home and bought some cutoff wheels. Put a cutoff wheel on my dad's Skilsaw, and cut off the roof. Removed (broke) the glass out, and used quite a few rolls of duct tape so that the edges of the metal wouldn't gash us wide open.

We proceeded to take many cans of fire engine red paint, and paint it bright red. Added a little graffiti, put some gas in it, and took a few laps through town. Generally romped the hell out of the car around town.

Now you have to know about Joey. He has ballz so big they ride shotgun. He was always down for some deadly 4x4 romping, and usually kept the Grim Reaper standing on our porch, although he was hands down the friend that I had the most fun doing dangerous shat with as a kid.

The next morning, grabbed a video camera, and off to the rifle range we went. Now see, the rifle range in Cottonwood AZ is used as a wicked 4x4 track, more than it is used to shoot at. It all started off with some donuts in reverse, then four wheeling it. A little later, it was jump time. That car saw more air than Michael Jordan. There was one point that Joey got it so high up in the air, that I thought it was going to endo. The front bumper was the first thing to hit the ground. We continued this for a few hours, until the Cavalier until it couldn't go anymore.

The car was on it's last leg. We somehow managed to get it to the top of a REALLY steep trail. Parked it sideways at the top. Got out, and with huge smiles on our face, we started to lift the uphill side of the car, and it started to roll. Now when I say this hill was steep, I'm talking about a 45º angle, and at least 250 feet in elevation. The car rolled way too many times to count. There it sat, a few hundred feet from the bottom of the hill, looking like a peeled open crushed Coca Cola can.

We drove my POS truck (which ended up dying the damn near same death) back to my house and called the local scrapyard to pick up the car.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The truck was an old Datsun. About a month later, we were at the same place trying to 4x4 it. Stupid kids, we drove it to the top of the hill, but none of us had the ballz to drive it down. We put it in neutral, and let it "ghost ride" to the bottom. Right at the bottom of the hill, while rolling backward, the front tire hit a huge pothole, and the wheels cranked hard. Over it went. Only one roll. We put the battery back in, and drove it home. My parents said I had to take it to the salvage yard, since it wasn't safe to drive anymore...

Did we... Hell no. The next morning, we tell Mom and Pop we're on the way to the salvage yard, and off to the rifle range we go. After an afternoon of romping the hell out of it, back to the top of the hill it went. We rolled it the same as the car, but it wasn't nearly as terrific. It only rolled a few times, however the thing fell apart. There were pieces of the truck all over. Our dipsh!t friend Trimbo, grabbed a door and bent on it until it fell off. We proceeded to watch him be an idiot, then went home.

We forgot to call the salvage yard. No biggie, right? Well we had been back out a few weeks later to shoot holes in it, and there were only scraps left. Someone had come and unloaded an arsenal on it. Cool, no need to get the salvage yard to pick it up...

Wrong. A couple of months after that, some bored arse cop found the VIN number, and called my Pop, wanting to know why he had abandoned a vehicle at the rifle range.

I got in a little trouble, and the salvage yard was kind enough to pick up the remnants for us.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I also had an old POS Buick. That was our "mud boggin" car. There was a mudhole off of Old 279, that was ear 4 feet deep. Some of the baddest 4x4 trucks in our town had gotten stuck in it. Now all these guys hang out there of Friday nights. Usually lined up along the side of the hole, while they all took turns driving through it.

Well, the 'Ole Lark, wasn't about to be bested by a 4x4 with a foot of lift. So while there was a large group hanging out at the hole, and all of them standing around and drinking beers, here we come at about 45 MPH. Straight into the mud hole, blowing about half the mud out of the hole, all over the trucks and people.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Same POS Buick, after talking shat to Josh? (Gumby) he started to chase us. Through neighborhoods, the game of cat and mouse was in full dangerous effect. I blow a stop sign, and he follows. Only problem, is that I miss a lowered Mazda truck by about 6". Gumby T-boned him. Didn't make any friends that night.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Took the 'Ole Lark through the alleys around town. It was the night before trash collection day. You would never believe how many cans you can hit with a POS car, and what an unbelievable mess it can make.

We actually were pulled over, because as we headed down an alley, a cop had been called, because of a blue car hitting trash cans. We hadn't done anything for him to see, so he told us that we were out past curfew, and to go home.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Time to go to Phoenix and make fun of the hookers. The 'Ole Lark never let us down. Now this is near the end of the cars life. It had NO BRAKES. Now when I say no brakes, I am not exaggerating. It took well over a half a mile to stop at 60MPH. So off on our trip we go. Now it's 100 miles to Phoenix from Cottonwood, and there is one hell of a big mountain to travel down on the way.

Joey decides before we go to pick up Brian, and load up his speakers in the backseat. Now Joey collected speakers. Not crappy ones, but the top of the line MTX speakers (back then). So there is a box with an 18" and a few 10" speakers, and three underage kids driving the death trap from hell.

Get to Phoenix, "cruise" Van Buren and bullshat/make fun of the hookers, and head home. We stop on the side of the freeway on the way back, near Black Canyon City. We were up to some illegal activity (which I won't go into detail about) and have to leave in a hurry. I sprint to the car, as do Joey and Brian. I'm in, Joey is in, and I start driving as Brian is getting in. All of a sudden, Brian jumps out and screams like a girl. His foot got caught under the rear tire. Whoops, but the car is going 10 or so, and with no brakes, it either run on a broken foot and jump in, or well, we'll be back when we can...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Christmas Eve, we're out burning gas in the 'Ole Lark, and haed out toward the rifle range. We decide to stay on pavement, and don't head out there. I pull over, and we're trying to get some slut to tag team us again. Joey says he going to give me a Christmas gift... He gets out of the car, climbs up on the roof, and a few minutes later, I have a steaming pile of shat sitting on the roof. I get kinda pissed, and pull the old "eff this, I'm going home". I throw the car in reverse, and back up. Right into the ditch I go. Rear wheels weren't even close to the ground. Free spinning in the ditch, car resting on bumper and frame.

Somehow we end up meeting up with Trimbo, and he has a Ford Festiva. He thinks it's fast and powerful. Now the Buick has to weigh like 4000 lbs, and is sitting on it's frame. The Festive is probably 1600 lbs, and has a 3 cylinder engine with maybe 80 HP. First thing when Trimbo sees my car, he busts up laughing and pointing. "You have a shat on your roof!!!" We tie a tow strap to his car and to mine, and he starts pulling. Nothing... He puts a few feet of slack in t5he strap, and full throttles it. Didn't move the Buick an inch, but nearly rips off his bumper. I end up calling a tow truck. First thing the tow truck driver asks: "Is that a pile of shat of your car?"

[smockers83]

We were in the playoffs for football and when you're playing football that late in northern MI, you're practicing in the snow. Well, after practice one day, several of us decided to go spin doughnuts in the parking lot. I had 3 other guys with me in my Explorer with the manual locking hubcaps (they need to bring those back by the way). I went to go do a doughnut and I spun her around a few times only to look over my shoulder and there's someone else spinning towards me. Nanoseconds later he's in my rear view mirror as I immediately start to correct myself to get out of the spin and shift into 4 high and he stayed in my rear view. Inches, only inches did we come to hitting each other. It would have been bad--6 players hurt during the playoffs, a dozen or so of us in trouble.

Another story in my friend's CJ (which was also a CJ-5). We were at a sand dune and we wanted to climb it. No problem right? Well this was the kid's first manual. The hill is pretty steep and it is sandy. We get 3/4 of the way up and he stalls it because he had it in to high a gear. The CJ immediately stops going up and starts going down, backwards. Last thing you want to do is slam on the brakes, well thankfully Stevo didn't because my *** would have been first. He finally regained control and was able to slowly back it down with my help.

This one is something I didn't participate in, but its a great story. My calc teacher in high school had built his own truck to go mudding with. There's also a huge mud hole by his house that people love to go through and the biggest trucks in the area can't get through it a lot of times. Only his truck can make it through consistently. Well him and some of his buddies decided it was a good idea to take his truck, buy crap cars and use a tow strap and tow them behind the truck. On the off road trail. Through the woods. Someone in the driver's seat of the car...

I didn't know you were and Arizona boy Noah?

I used to party in Cottonwood all the time in the late 90'.

Beaner and Jeff... You boys take the Cake!

I have done some stupid stuff but not as stupid as you guys!

I thought of another good one!

When I had my Cadillac we would pretend the car was broken down!

I got Drunk one night with 4 friends and we drove the Cadillac to a busy intersection and got out and jacked the car up to look like we had a flat tire.

We had the hood open, the flashers going, the radio blasting, all the doors open and a cooler full of beer in the trunk.

Then One of my friends gets the bright idea to take out a lawn chair and sit next to the car like we are at a camp fire... I had lots of stuff in the trunk... At one point i felt like Tony From the sapranos!

Then We had a stop us... He didn't see the beer!

I told him we were all done changing the tire and that my stupid friend was lazy to stand and since i had to empty the truck to get the spair tire... he decided to sit and watch..

Never had so much fun in a car with out a Girl

We drove off and went to another intersection and did it again!

those where the good old days... Gas was 1.60 a gallon for premium and I would spend 40 bux and fill up the caddy and go have some fun.

My father had a construction company at that point in my life and I would wake up an hour early each morning and meet him at the gas station with the rest of the crew and fill up my car every day. I would put anywhere from 20 to 40 bux a day. Good thing they worked 6 days a week lol... Sunday was always a day of empty tank syndrome

What I would kill to have my HS days back

oh and FTW I think every guy should have a Caddy as a first car!

Lots of room for all your friends and a big back seat for your Girls

[Beancooker]

I didn't know you were and Arizona boy Noah?

Damn, I probably ran into you at one point. Depends on how late in the 90's. I left AZ in '97 or '98.

those where the good old days... Gas was 1.60 a gallon for premium and I would spend 40 bux and fill up the caddy and go have some fun.

Yeah, the good ole days... Gas was 89¢ a gallon for cheap crap. I could fill up the Ole Lark for $16.

[gwoods]

Did you know any Anderson's or Stuehrenberg's? The Anderson boys all had z's

I'm pretty sure I know what rifle range you are talking about.

Did you ever go to Jerome on Saturday nights to dance and drink and try not to get arrested?

[Beancooker]

I lived in Jerome for quite a while on and off through 93-97ish.

Which Andersons are you speaking of? Stuehrenberg... Jacob?

You know Wing Hoffbauer and his krew of a$$?

Pretty much in the late 90's I was hanging with Renne, Omar, Brandon, Stewart, Josiah (all Jerome kids/guys)

Yeah, I almost forgot about Major Lingo and their crappy music. But it was always a good reason to get together and smoke/drink.

[gwoods]

Kami, Travis, Grant?

Man I just called my little sister to laugh about Major Lingo.....

I know a bunch of a$$ but no Wing, I'll ask my little sister if she knows any Wings she went up every weekend. I only went when I knew I was going to get it on with one of her friends LOL

I am a salesman now right so I ran up to Cottonwood last week, total trip down memory lane..... I came home through Jerome so I could abuse my car down that hill LOL When I stopped for gas it smelled like burning rubber and brakes! I passed in every no passing zone!

[Beancooker]

The names don't ring a bell. We were usually only at the dances long enough to see if there was any tail worth coming back for. Most of the time we were at the B-ball courts, the old jail, or the park. Show back up at the dance just before midnight, and invite the non stinkified hippies and the hotties back for an after hours party at out place.

Hell, you may have partied at either one of my places.

Google these: 710 East Ave, Jerome AZ

29 Rich St, Jerome, AZ

Both houses were across the street from where Google pins the location.

I would give a nut to get to drive my car from the top of Mingus, to the bottom, then up Oak Creek Canyon.

[gwoods]

Sorry man I don't remember either place, I partied a lot just out in the woods around Prescott/Prescott Valley too. had an underage consumption ticket from Prescott

I think there was a skank N pickle or something like that does that sound familiar?

Yeah Mingus is awesome!!! I was in manual mode the entire time it was sooooo much fun
