whats one of the craziest things you have ever done in a car? mine would be driving 25 miles on a flat tire(not run flats) in my little geo. there wasnt much tire left on the rim. haha. i was gettin ready to go to work, and checked my tires like i always do every morning(dirt roads, lots of nails and shit left behind by careless farmers) and i noticed my passenger side rear tire was flat. because it was about 20* outside that morning, i REALLY didnt want to freeze my ass off changing it, so i just left. the rim was fine, but the tire was destroyed. the only reason i did that is because i knew a new tire wouldnt cost much with the tiney rims on it. it ended up costing me a whoping $35.

the one time at night when I was driving to my sister's party in the woods. I just wanted to look by and tell them to finish up. Anyways, when I left, I was quite angry, so I floored it on the gravel road...went good for the first couple yards but at about 30 something ran really fast across the road (guess it was a squirrel) and I swerved a bit. Well, the left rear tire went off road, so my car jerked, and while I tried to recover I turned the wheel too quick and it careened across the road into the small ditch on the right, nearly hitting a tree. I managed to get straight again and drove off. When I arrived home a minute or so later, I was so pumped on adrenalin I couldn't sleep for about an hour

mine would prolly be in my old 1978 caddy. i used to just run into things for fun. i mean, its not a tug boat for nothing, right?

once behind a supermarket, a cart was out there, so i pegged that. not too fast tho

(i was a stupid kid)

another time i parked in a space with a huge boulder in front of me. so i decided to push it a bit (good use of a torquey 7L V8

)

another time i decided to push over the dead corn in the corn fields next to my house. it was at night and kinda seemed spooky as the headlights lit up the dense field. . .

I want an old caddy now that sounds fun.. After this one storm before I even had my permit I took my car out and drifted in the mud. It was pretty cool I had mud covering every inch of my car. I even managed to get it on the windshield.

haha. that reminds me of when i went mudding in my pickup. was stuck in a field for 5 hours, and my friends ditched me. he called someone to pick him up in his truck, but didnt pull me out. just fuckin left me there. there was mud EVERYWHERE tho. had mud all over the roof of the pickup(keep in mind, my truck is 6 and a half feet tall). that was several months ago, and has been washed several times, but every once and a while i still have some mud fall off when i just my hood really hard.

flying, literally FLYING across a 50pmh limit road in a 96 M3. we were about 17 my buddy came around the turn doin about 100 only to realize the intersection was about 200yards away. cars to the left, cars straight ahead, lots of traffic on the cross-road. we went to the right which was grass and didnt slow us down much. the road we were on sloped downward at the intersection so when we went off the end of the grass it was about 4 feet above the cross-road. barely sqeeking through a gap in the traffic we slammed down in the far lane and spun out on the other side, ending up looking like we came to the intersection from the other side of the road we started on. ONLY SOME COSMETIC DAMAGE AND TRANNY MOUNT FOR THE M3 WHAT A TANK!

Pulling the e-brake on a turn in a neighborhood going 40+MPH.

Broken axle, broken oil pan, broken rim, and jacked up fender. If I didn't hit the high part of the curb where the gutters end at I would have hit a wall.

Happened 2 days before school started too.
