What is the stupidest thing you have done in a car or truck?
Pretty difficult to explain, but I got stuck with my granma's car (Opel Vectra).. I was trying to pass a little step to go down into a parking lot, but the car got stuck on the step with the front wheels suspended in the air.. impossible to moove.. I tried with a friend but obviously the Vectra is not a Caterham.. so I had to call the Swiss "Touring Club".. they came and with a rope and their car it was done in 2 seconds...
The car wasn't damaged since I was doing that try very very slowly.. but I felt so stupid anyway.. since afterall I was there a couple of hours :D LOL

Dumbest thing, hhhmmmmm. I've done lots of stupid things in cars. My friends and I took my old POS Celebrity off of a 3 foot wall. It made lots of wierd noises after that.
We used a friends truck to drag a snowmobile up and down a road, slammed on the brakes, and the snowmobile slammed into the truck bending a few things.
Offroading in a 300ZX
Went offroading in another friends truck, hit a huge bump and causght quite a bit of air at about 60mph.
Heh, if you want, you can buy the truck here: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2436013234&category=13487
We also used that truck to run over a snowmobile that a few friends and I killed
Everything spins like a top on a frozen lake
Does it just have to be cars or trucks, cause I've done lots of things on other motorized toys.
Hit a tree with a 3 wheeler, didn't get hurt luckily
drag raced a a car with a 70CC moped, I won!
First time ever on a snowmobile, went off a jump and jacked my face on the windshield

Well I guess it was driving 250 km/h on the Autobahn with a Canadian G1 (first license-not fully licensed lol....only valid in Ontario, must be acompanied by a G class holder )this summer.
A LOL.. forgot when I drove my grandad car with 3 friends with me.. to bad I was almost 17 and obviously no license since you can do it only when 18 :D
I drove all night long w/o realiing if a cop would have stopped me.. no more license for me :D

Hehe, good for you. :lol:
stupidest would be jumping a dodge caravan off an up ramp and cracking the transmission case.... a close second was very similar to TT's experience....was backing up a 735i bimmer but the right front fell off the ledge on the right hand side that i was right next to...very very stuck...had to call BCAA...said a lot of ppl do it...........felt so stupid....... :oops:

LOL, I was pretty worried about the same thing.. but well.. no proof I'm telling the truth ;)

now this is a HUGE catagory for me. seems like being stupid in a car comes naturally to me and my friends.
my friends and i destroyed a Mazda MX6 in the desert running into couchs and trees and such. i have a video of it but its on one of those tiny vhs lookin tapes, dont know how to get it on the comp.
i got arrested for doing donuts on a soccer field while we threw fireworks out the window.
theres a notorious jump in my hometown all the kids used to take their cars too. i launched my Astro van off it and almost rolled the thing.
i drove a tractor into the side of a house :oops:
my friend had an old diesel 240 Benz that we got stuck on someones lawn when we were lawn surfing LOL
too much to list, dont worry im not this stupid anymore. ive toned it done quite a bit

The night after my senior all-night party in High School I was driving one of my friends home and we decided to take an alternate route which is this nice, flowing, twisty dirt road. So we start driving along in my Mazda 626 ESV6 manual...I'd just learned how to really drift the thing, so we were doing about 40mph when we got to one of my favorite curves. Since it was after the all night party, I had had no sleep in more than 24 hours and it was 5am, so I wasn't at the top of my game. We came whipping around and the back end broke free like I wanted, but I overcorrected and we fishtailed in larger and larger oscillations until we slid fully sideways with respect to the road and were headed straight for a fire hydrant which would've hit the passenger side of the car, but we just slid into this person's driveway and stopped about 6 inches away instead.
Another time I was doing donuts in a friend's Mustang GT in a mall parking lot and a police car spotted us, so we ran. He was so far off we had no trouble losing him and getting onto the highway and back home. Made a little jump out of some speed bumps in the process...that was wild hehehe.

Oh yeah! There was one time my dad brought home a prototype car with an uprated engine and suspension...I broke the tranny on that doing a powershift. My dad had to drive it to work using 1st, 3rd and 5th, cuz 4th and 2nd were dead.

I broke my dad's car third gear synchro because I didn't heel and toe when downshifting...expensive fix...
I ended up perpendicular to the road on an off-ramp from the highway, when I was trying to play Ayrton Senna in my Mx-3 and the curve started getting tighter, carrying to much speed I lifted off...the tail started getting out and I didn't correct fast enough so I got on the brakes and didn't even get off the road, when I came to a stop I saw a couple of cops at the end of the road with all their lights on, luckly (don't know how) they didn't see me...

Does crashing a brand new Honda CR-V after 3 meters in reverse in dealer parking lot count?
