Heres a crazy youth driving storie I was gonna post on another thread, but decided to start one with it. Any one can post your incredibly great, stupid, funny, etc. driving stories on this thread.

So heres my storie:
When I was 4-5, I was so eager to drive that I drove my dad's 76 Dodge pickup through our gardge.
The truck was backed up in the driveway, we were gonna go some where, and loaded some stuff up in the truck. My dad was up in the yard, I was running around, and then I decidedd to go play in the truck.
I was making all the sounds etc. I told my dad I wanted to drive, and didn't listen to his replie. So I had my feet on the pedals, sitting barely on the edge of the seat to reach them, and even then i could barely do so. Playing with the key, it turned. The 440 bigblock Mopar motor roared to life. It scared me so I took my hands and feet off of everything they were touching. The gearshift was left in reverse, so naturally, the next thing you know...VVVVRRRRROOOOOOOMMMMMM, CRASH, CRUNCH. Yup, backed that puppy right through the center divider of our two place garadge. nearly knocked down the whole frontside of our two story house. It had a lean to it till the repairs could be made. My dad whooped my ass so hard.

there was this one time, when i was in my car and i was exploring new options, with an open mind im sure you know what i was doing, and it wasn't hands free. So i was doing this on a side road, when i was at the point of breaking, i had looked down momentarily, when i looked up there was a car coming in my lane. I quickly- actually i hesisated in putting my hands on the steering column, took control of the wheel, swerved to the right, almost hitting the car, lost control of my car, went through woods, dodging trees and debris. I came to a lip in the forest, that connected teh road, hit the lip went about 3-4 feet in the air, landed o nthe road, did a 360 in front of a cop, he puts his lights on i floored it. I took another side road, cut through someones yard(i swear) and parked my car in someones driveway, where the cop couldn't see it. Cop strolled by, never found me.

Another one was, i was going 65 down a 25 mph residential road. My friend was in the car with me and we were both pretty zoned out from driving around. I was coming around a corner and there was this huge branch in the road, i was so tired and out of it, i thought it was a moose(in nj?!!?) so i scream holy shit mOOSE! and i jerk the wheel, my back end begins to fish tail, almost hitting threes and falling off the little ledge(2 feet from it) that turned into a drop off. After i miraculously gained control of my car, i look over at my friend and im like did you just see that? and hes all what, what happened! so i told him the story again. prety funny

ok ok one more story. Xmas of 97, we always go into staten island, NY. My brother left alittle early and i went with him. At the time he had a Conquest TSI. We merge onto the on ramp and the turbo kicks in, than out of nowhere we find ourselves, fish tailing on the highway, finally he cant hold it and the car does a 360, as we hit a 180 degrees, all i could see was the guard rail and the highway that went underneath the one we were on. The car finally stopped in the same lane, going the same way, ironcially no cars were in sight.



btw the only stories that were fake are the last two.

later

one time my friend and I were in his corvette, and we were coming home from school. There is this twisty road in austin that is sort of out of the way, not many people drive on it, so we went to drive on it to sort of have a little fun. We were going into the first turn, and for some stupid reason we totally lost traction in the rear (we were only going like, 30, it shouldn't have happened, especially with his traction control, which never EVEN !BEEPED! during the entire skid around like a puppy on a waxed hardwood floor scene that we took part in) We went skidding around the turn almost completely sideways, but never actually turned around or anything. He immediately counter-steered, but went WAAAY overboard with it, and we immediately found ourselves sliding down the road facing the opposite direction. he finally found a way to get us pointed more or less forward, but didn't have complete control of the car. We went up on some guys curb, smashed through about 6 trash cans and slammed right into the back of some construction guy's trailer. It was actually kind of fun, and the collapsable front bumper of the 'vette meant there was no real damage (other than to the bumper). The airbag didn't even go off. I guess thats not really that crazy, I guess I'm just cursed with being a good enough driver that I rarely get myself into trouble.

ok i dont think this is really crazy but its kinda funny.

i got my license in the middle of april and my 2 best friends at the time graduated high school in june. i was grounded for something stupid i dont remember what, but my mom let me out just because it was a special night. so i went to the graduation and then went out to dinner afterwards. well we got so caught up celebrating, we didnt notice the time. i was supposed to be home at 12 and it was like 11:15. i was like shit, we gotta go. so i drove the one girl home and she was gonna drive the other one home except she was tired so she asked me to. i was like no prob. so i start driving and i was about to drop her off and i realized i had no gas. i started to panic because they live in the boonies, not near any gas stations that would be open at midnight. i didnt think i could make it to the gas station before i ran out of gas. so the girl is like, i will stay in the car with you just in case. so i am driving to the gas station doing like 65 in a 45 and then i get stuck behind this guy so i passed him. i must have been doing 70 when i passed him and with my luck, i pass not 1 but 2 cops. they pull me over real fast and i am like oh my god i am in so much trouble. the cop jumps out of the car and starts flipping out. they made us get out of the car so they could look inside. they thought we were high or drunk. i was like no no no, you dont understand, i have no gas!!!!! i cant break down at 12 am or my mom is gonna kick my ass!!!! the cop is like, you moron! when you go faster, you waste more gas! i was like, oh. oops. so he gave me a 10 min. lecture about speeding while i sat there hysterically crying. then he gave me a ticket for 71 in a 45. but i have a good lawyer and i got away with no points when i shoulda got 5 and $30 fine when it should have been like $250. so lets just say, i learned my lesson. (about gas that is, i still speed but not 30 mph over the speed limit hehe)

DRIVE IT LIKE YOU STOLE IT!!!!

exactly. but not when cops are around unless you can cry really well on command like i can hahaha.

Soap Opera for the drivers :)

Well this happened quite recently actually. My friends and I were in my Honda Accord *cough* *cough* it was in mid december or so. It was freezingly cold and raining. Well, were were driving down the road while I was trying to defog the winshield (which seems like my car is natorious for fogging up). We were heading down a 3 lane road heading for a stoplight which was green at the time. As I'm playing witht he controls I notice the light turned yellow so I start to slow down (going 45mph mind you) when I notice i"m a lot closer to the intersection then I thought. So instead of stoping and skidding I accelerate a bit then turn the corner. Well, I braked becasue I was going kinda fast.. trying to beat the light...opps:eek: big mistake... cold weather... rain.. and FWD=:eek: the back end fishtales.. while I braked. So I counter steered and it straightens out .. so i'm like ok kewl let go of the brake.. (mind you my wheel is STILL turned to the opposite direction) ERRRRRR:eek: the car head off into the dirt and here comes this big metal phoen box with a light post next to it.. ahhh....while I'm drifiting towards it(more like hydro planing) oddly..I start to laugh then.. *CRASH*:bloated: not laughing anymore...:( worst part it... all the people who saw.. stoped at the light.. all two of em.. didn't even stop to ask if we were ok.. they just drove on... psshhh:finger: ..Minus having to push the car out of the mud off the box... Everything is fixed and better now.. just needed new bumper and aligntment...


BTW.. I'm new .. :)
