hmmm....
offroadin in my 95 Wrangler....rolled it by sliding off a hill. We camped out and woke up to it pouring. We had to go uphill to get out but the way we came down we weren't able to go back up that way. I actually got up but had too much momentum and went back over the other side and ended up flexing the hell out of the suspension in the tight corners I had put myself in. Found a 4 wheeler trail back up and got to far to the left and the left side tires took the rest of the Jeep down with them. Thank god for seatbelts and a death grip on the steering wheel. Ended up having to leave the jeep there overnight and comin back the next day after the sun had dried out the mud. Labor Day weekend 2004 was a blast....this all happened a week before I got deployed for the first time too.



only damage...


pic from a few minutes after the "rescue" smoked like a bitch for a few minutes after startup.. but it still tackled a few mudholes like a champ!


nice clean pic up in the Black Hills....yes a wildfire had burned this particular area the year before.

yeh that Jeep was fun....can't wait to buy another one a few years from now. I was scared shitless when it happened but within an hour was laughing my ass off about it. What other vehicle can you roll like that put it back on all 4 wheels and drive away with barely a scratch.....

LOL my dumbest thing was probably doing reverse donuts in my parent's 2001 Odyssey in the snow with a full 7 people load LOL! good times.

Then the other time in the same van, trying to race my friend in his parent's old 93 Civic from a dig LOL I think we got up to like 100km/h LOL!

And the most recent one, in the same van, with fresh winter tires put on... I tried to take a nice racing line while I was making a left turn at an intersection and I completely hit the center isle and it bubbled my rear left tire. my mum was so pissed LOL

Haven't done anything stupid in my SS/SC yet... except maybe scare this girl that I like with a nice burnout coming out of a parking space LOL

i went out looking for the ATCO ghost in my old 91 V6 T-bird. (peg leg) we took it into the woods and got stuck in some kind of sand pit. i was in the woods (pretty deep) waiting for a tow truck for about 4 hours (at night, it was pitch black out) and we were freaking out thinking the NJ devil would get us (very, very high at the time )

I dont know if you could consider this as the dumbest thing....but I call it road rage.

Some idiot kids cut me off then when i honked flipped me off...

they were at the front of a stop light...i could tell its neutral

i touched the back bumper....

then pushed theire car into the intersection. (there werent any cars coming the other directions)...

they floored it through the red light only for a cop to see and pull them over.




but in this car, i ACCIDENTLY jumped a train track.

Neutral slamming an auto is just putting into N revving the crap out of it and droping it into a gear while still holding the rpms up.

Me and 3 other buddies took his POS 93 4x4 explorer to a motocross track some kids made in a empty lot. The jumps were just wide enough for the explorer. After doing the first jump barely we get the ***** to do a steeper jump. The explorer gets all the way up to the top but not enough umf to nose dive to the other side. We were teter-tottering!! (however you spell it). We sat in the car deciding on how to get out. We all eventually get out one at a time very carefully and grab my 01 xtreme blazer to pull it down. By far a night ill never forget.
