what's the dumbest shit that ever happened to your car? just now my windshield wipers crossed each other like a "t" and then ripped each other off and went flying down the road. back in 2000 i was driving and my hood (ooble i think you call it a "boot" or "bonnet" or something) flipped up and smashed in my windshield. that was even gayer.

the dumbest thing i ever did (when i had my drivers permit) was drive my truck off a loading dock for semi trucks. suprisingly it didn't do any damage.....or atleast none that matters to me :-)

A blow-out at ~85 mph on the interstate, in the rain nestled between semis to the side and behind me. It ripped the whole side of my car off.

How the hell do you guys do this?

BTW, BN, I know what a "hood" is. And boot == trunk.

bl00dninja · Jun 3rd, 2005, 9:05 AM

yeah i figured you knew i just thought i'd throw in some CRAZY british shit.

:-)

yeah, i don't know how we do this shit either. that windshield wiper shit was just classic though, but i fixed it today. i was laughing my ass off all the way back to the house even though i couldn't see shit.

Pizentios · Jun 3rd, 2005, 9:06 AM

i was drunk, so yeah that explains it.

I don't have a car. I'm not old enough to drive a car.

I'll just settle for this instead.

This was probably the craziest thing ive ever had to do in a car, a couple of people we know saw us, it happened about 1 year ago and they still laugh about it

Driving home from a regatta, big storm. Wind screen wipers stopped working. Tie some wire to each wiper. Front passenger and back-right passenger hold wire. In turn pull wire towards himself, then relax. Wind screen wipers wipe. ^.^

Nothing crazy but being stopped by the police for going straight over a mini rounderbout and he asked me to breathe on him. Which was nice. (to check i hadnt been drinking, i was more worried about the fact he might think i was stoned considering i just had a smoke)

The craziest thing I ever did was crash my car into an old ladies car. I wrecked my car. All this happened because my "EX" girlfriend decided to put on one of her crappy CD's and I turned wrong to her to tell her not too.

I don't talk to her anymore.

Bloody loved that car.
