Most entertaining driving story

[CantDog]

Since there is the roadkill story going, what about crazy/stupid/funny stuff thats happen otherwise while driving?

A few years ago my dad, friend Wayne, and I used to go out to the Burger King in Manasas to check out the car show...which inevitably lead to street racing on the incomplete manasas parkway. So around 1:30 am the bench racing turns into bets, and everyone files out onto the unfinished 4 lane highway. This particular time it was a 383 stroker vette and turbo CRX on spray. Tires warmed up, and they go at it, the vette(obviously) winning. The next thing we see is a light bar coming towards everyone in the distance. Oh shit! Everyone runs for their cars, so there is me, my dad, and my friend all running for my old E30. I book it out of there, the whole while my dad yelling "faster! faster!" from the passenger seat. It was fun to run from the cops with my dad.

We didnt tell mom when we got home.

Good story Cant.

Let see I have:

"Borrowed" a truck which was my mom's and drove it to the movie rental store when I was 15. I could already drive pretty well. Things were going fine until I let my friend drive. What besides the complete and total lack of capacity available in a 15 yr old skull to do this I don't know.

I drove about three blocks and he was asking me if he could drive also. I agreed and let him drive the remaining two blocks and park across a busy street so we could avoid traffic. We pull into the back of this Chinese resteraunt and I tell him to park along the wall.

We are getting closer to the wall and I am expecting him to start slowing, I glance over at him and see him move his leg for the brake, a split-second of relief enters my pea-sized mind, before we lurch foward and smash the front of the truck into the wall. Instead of hitting the brake, my nimble-footed friend has opted for the clutch, guess what? The clutch doesn't slow you down!

I immediately reach over, open the door and penguin kick my friend out of the door onto the ground, and follow him through into the parking lot. While I am trying to beat my friend into a coma, some lady starts screaming "stop, stop!" and we jump in the car and drive quickly back to my house.

Knowing that my mom will now punish me for the next 3 years until I can legally be on my own I make a plan.

At the time we were living at a house that has a really big back yard and the driveway met up to it, you could drive into the back if you kept going off the pavement.

I take the truck and drive it around the yard in circles, and then meet it up with a massive Elm tree in the back yard. I mark the spot on the tree, and take a hammer and a pick and mangle the shit out of it. Also adding paint that has now blistered off of the bumper. I push the truck as tight as possible back into the spot and sit and wait until my mom gets home.

I tell my mom that we have something to tell her, that I let my friend Toby drive the truck after I had and he lost control on the grass hiting the tree. Toby and I had to split the cost of the damages, and didn't tell anyone about it, we were positive that we would be found out and punished even more. I told my mom that story awhile ago, about 10 yrs or so after, she tried to beat me with her dinnerplate. Glad I didn't tell her what happened at first.

A buddy took his brand new car out for a drive one day. He had his video camera along, and he jammed it into the headrest of the passenger seat.

Then he rolled the car.

We got alot of entertainment out of watching that tape, over and over.

A friend was driving on 89 in VT, heading home from college. He was doing about 70 when all of a sudden (with no warning) the hood popped open. He couldn't see a damn thing. Everyone in the car started screaming - he was the only one who didn't completely loose their shit. So he slowed down very carefully (the road was, luckily, dead straight at that point) and pulled over. After a bit by the side of the road the rest of the car calmed down a bit. The wind had bent the hood out of shape, so in order to even get to the next rest area/gas station they had to tie the damn thing down with a rope.

hmmm

e30

(Cant, btw, got the issue resolved... happened to be under warrenty, new caliper and rotor + full tune- runnig so much better- although still kinda has small lurch WOT- replaced distributor cap, platinum plugs, fuel+ air filter, drive belt.)

any other sugesstions?
oh yeah coolant sensor bad- does it affect mass air flow sensor?- - reduce HP maybe?

[CantDog]

nevermind, im a retard

[CantDog]

small lurch could be due to o2 sensor, does it do it hot or cold?

Haven't seen him, or the tape, in years.

He & his car have the worst luck ever. once, he was parked in front of our apartment, and didn't notice the world's biggest icicle hanging down from the roof above.

The icicle was probably 2+ feet across, and 20 feet long.

One night, t fell on his car and smashed the hood and windshield.
