dumbest thing you did to/in your car?
i sent my beretta GT flying into the air when i hit a ramp going about 75. when i landed it bottomed out pretty damn bad. at that point, the high beams turned on for my headlights. also, the muffler fell off. every time i tried to turn off the high beams, i flipped a breaker. and i didnt replace the muffler for about a month because it sounded badass.

Used to jump a buddies old grand prix over steep ass rail-road tracks. Damn car just wouldnt croak, 212,000 miles and all we did was break a damn strut. Ended up selling it for 1,000 dollars and as of a year ago it was still tickin with around 250,000 miles on it.

on purpose?
i used my tempo to push a shopping cart up to about 60ish... that was kinda dumb.
also, in my old Geo, i had my boy hop in the trunk... i pulled up to taco bell, ordered at the drive through... pulled past the window.... he got out of the trunk, walked over, paid, got the food, got back in the trunk, closed it behind him and i drove away.
girl looked at us funny.
oh oh oh, i drove a 350z for my old job... and i'm not saying i beat on it... but it had 12 miles on it when i left the one dealer... and 60 miles later when i got back to mine, the tranny was toast.

I lauched my old truck off of train tracks(not really intending to get any air, they were in worse shape then I thought) and according to my buddy, all 4 wheels were atleast 2 feet off the ground. Shockingly, the landing was smooth.
Here is the pic of my truck that I jumped.

In my last car:
Took it out in the winter and started swerving back and forth in the slushy/snow. lost it and hung the car up on a 4 foot snowbank. I think i mesured the "body slide" alond the snowdrift at about 40 feet? Can't remember... I have pictures somewhere?.... oh there they are! (shitty cell pics cause it was dark out..)
In the Cobalt:
Took it around a foot-race oval track... think i did about 15 laps before the cops rolled up.. hehehe

When me and my brother both had honda's we would put our front ends together and started burning out for a couple of minuets. And anytime we went in a drive thru and either was behind the other, would pull up till touching and start burning out again.

I was fillin up my gas tank, and my friend was lighting up a smoke. I told him "Put that **** out man", he says "It won't torch us up". Now he is half drunk and so is my other friend in the back seat. So now he pulls out his lighter and lights it next to the gas tank "WHOOSH" it catches on fire. I imiediatly pull the nozzle out, BAD BAD idea, or reaction. Now I'm running, leaving footprints of fire across the parking lot. My car is engulfed in flames with a friend in it. My other friend (The IDIOT!) is trying to put my car out with the windshield wash there at the pump! Cars are leaving without paying, and in a BIG hurry! Finally the gas station attendant came out with an extinguisher and put my car out as I watched from across the street. That was about 10 years ago in Chicago.
