^^^ I don't think that car even spun lol
it wasnt me but a buddy in highschool had a 99 chevy 1500. he was revvin the crap out of it after a football game and droped it into gear without letting the revs go down. he blew the trans out, blew the transfer case out, and cracked the diff housing. it had 1000 miles and 1 month left on the warranty. thats luck
lol did they just hang the exhaust on that thing and think it would be fine
OK I got one, a few years back before I finished all the "little things" on my 69' Camaro, I was on the freeway and a mustang pulled up next to me. Well I for once wasn't in a racing mood just out enjoying the the good weather, windows down cruising about 65 mph. He stayed along side me for about 2 miles I sped up a little he sped up a little I slowed down he slowed down, my exit was getting closer I decided I guess I have to just go around him. Well I reached down grabbed the handle and t-bar on my B&M star shifter pulled it down to second and let the pipes growl, the mustang driver looked over at me as I punched it, the car pulled hard so hard in fact I was able to jump on him by about 6 car lengths and started crossing lanes towards the exit when my car died. A few seconds later he went by me and I rolled to the side of the highway car smoking. I jumped out and ran around to the front of my car opened the hood and no smoke... WTF? Through my cowl I could see smoke in my car so I run back around the door crawled under the dash to find I have a dash fire, that I cant reach. I punched my stereo out of the dash so I could reach the flames, pulled off my beanie and smothered the fire. Now I have a broken, burnt dash, and a car that wont start. Come to find out I did not have my battery tied down "little thing", and when I punched it my battery rocked pulled on the pigtail wire that goes to the junction block, and sent a power spike through my electrical system, ooooooooooooh joy...
So lets review:
fire
broken dash (due to stereo being knocked out)
burnt beanie (due to smothering the flames)
melted my rotor (in the cap of my distributor)
fried my coil
and lost to a Mustang (due to equipment failure)...
Thanks for the bad memory, lol
it's always the little things that get ya. is it fixed now?
Yeah I fixed it all a couple years back. I bought a coil, a rotor, wire connectors, wire and some pliers and temporarily fixed it on the side of the road that day, and limped home. Rewired it within 2 weeks after it happened.
nice man, a 69 camaro is my dream car
Driving down the street & the front drivers side wheel fly's of the GP. The rim was destroyed but, shockingly no damage to the car.
having to take my corners off and drain the water everytime i wash the car at ze car wash.
^ haha that blows
I fishtailed into a huge snowbank half way in a guys yard. I had to push my GP for half an hour with two fine a$$ honeys in tow. Then my dad came to pull me out and said next time it happened I lose my car. Oh, and someone took pics and put them on Facebook...never going to live that down.
not i who did this but still entertaining..some kid in a trans am did a burnout at the sonic we were in so as my buddy was leaving he peeled out as he turned...right as a cop was pulling in. he had to sit there in front of all of us and get a ticket. he was rele embarassed
Well, Sunday I changed my brake pads from old crappy ones to Duralast Gold Cmax... 50 dollar pads...
yesterday, I go to Tsa La Gi automotive here cuz I can ALWAYS here my passenger side brakes whether I'm on them or not... and I find out that not only is the inside pad on backwards, but it sanded down the backside of my rotor and DESTROYED the pad... and if it weren't for favors owed the guys there by autozone's manager, I'd'a had to fork out another 50 for the pads instead of just 97 for labor and a rotor :(
Also, I lost the keys to my dads grand cherokee at a football game after offering to give a girl I had met a ride home, only to find the keys nowhere to be found, and she had to call her dad to get a ride home. This happens to be my still-current GF.
After I lsot the keys, I got to drive my grandma's PT cruiser... its two-tone grey up top and navy blue down below, and its basically riced. My friend was in it and had the windows rolled down and the delivery topper on top, and when "barbie girl" came on the radio he blasted it in the school's parking lot. lol
im my 96 beretta i was backing into a parking space where we all hung out and my friend steve yelled here's sarah with her pos. and as i was backing up my rack and pinion exploded and dumped power steering fluid everywhere.... that sucked.
I drove over a frozen block of snow on the highway a few months back & didn't think much of it. Few days later at an intersection dude starts honking his horn at me. He say's "your dragging something under your car" of course I have no idea wtf he's talking about so I said "Oh yeah, that." I pulled over & checked it out. My front LED was smashed, broken in half, & dragging on the ground & so was the plastic ground effects it was attatched too.
hmmmmm dont know if anyone is ever on this thread as the last post was in 2010 but I got one. I deliver pizzas for Dominos and on my way back to the store I sneezed and there was still snot in my nose not wanting to get out so I picked my nose right in front of a family of 4 who I delivered to the other day not even realizing that anyone was really around to see me...I dont think I'm getting tipped from them ever again lol. Other then that its those moments when you really get engaged with talking to yourself when your on a delivery or just out for a cruze and you then look to be screaming at the asshole who doesn't know how to drive in front of you while another car is passing you and the passenger is staring at you the whole time. face palm
In the old two door Toyota Echo (two cars ago), getting overruled by four girls who insisted on blasting Barbie Girl with the windows down. They went on to lose a game of paddidle, so I figure I broke even. That was four, almost five years ago.
Also showing a buddy how to drive a five speed and having him stall out in front of a high school and having a bunch of girls burst out laughing. He panics, cranks the motor, dumps the clutch, stalls again. I just sat real low in the seat in shame.
Ooh, that time I crashed. No wait, that time it caught fire. Or even better, that second time it caught fire!
When I went to pick on a mustang in my old Black GTP, and only right as I got on it to try and get him to race did I see the '427 Supercharged' badge on the fender. He didn't pulls car lengths on me, he pulled football fields. Then I noticed that there were quite a few other mustangs around.
Turns out it was Mustang week in Darlington, SC. There were a good 200-300 mustangs I had to drive past to get out of town.
