while i was in Raileigh this weekend i was going down Brentwood Rd. and they had a problem with people speeding thru the residential area so te put in these big speed bumps. first they were these big plastic ones then i guess they just went ahead and put asphalt ones in. now i'm talkin about the kind of speed bumps that u have to slow down, go up, across, and then back down. well i was like "i wanna jusp one of these, but my car's too low" (i usually creep over them) well the music made do it. i was listening to Primus and us went for it...:lol2: i don't know how fast i was goin but i went airbone:uhoh: and came down hard:grinyes: that was fun...i wanted to do it again, but i was in a residential area and there were cars in front me b/c i slowed to have enough distance.....but that was fun:thumbsup:

yeah..unfortunately, its been awhile and I've been pushing my luck... but $800 is a little outrageous..espcially when I'm completely broke...

I've lived in my car for a week. Does that count?
Actually, after reading about your speed-bump incident, reminds me of my first car. It was an 84 Oldsmobile Cutlass Sierra that my sister had thrashed on pretty hard before I had it, and I continued the tradition of doing so.
Anyways, there was this park by my parents house that I always drove through because it was a nice shortcut. It was like a 2 mile long road straight through the park. Anyways, they had these monstrous speed bumps, and the posted limit was like 20 all the way through. Well, I discovered that due to the height and width of the speedbumps and the responsiveness (or lack thereof) of my suspension, I could hit the speedbumps at about 47mph, and the car would just glide over them. Wouldn't feel a thing.
Found out the hard way that it didn't work in any other car... at least not at that speed.

the stupidest thing i ever did in a car would have to be when i was younger driving my moms 2000 civic 4 door. I did dukes of hazard over a curb that was like 1.5' tall (no exageration) in a parking lot. caused about $1600cdn damage.

i've never done anything drastically stupid...just the same ol' teenage retarded crap...like chineses fire drills @ stoplights....oh yeah the greatest thing ever...when you get to a red light, and the car next to you has thier window rolled down....wait until the light turns green, and when they start to pull of scream at the top of your lungs in the most horrifying voice possible "OH MY GOD!!!"...so they slam on the brakes...it's halarious to see some people's reaction...did it to a guy on the phone once...he threw down the phone and chased after me for about 1 1/2 miles...:lol: :lol: :lol:

I've done plenty of stupid things when I was in highschool, but one of my brighter moves, involved a single lane dirt logging/camp road through a state park in the Adirondacks in upstate NY. I had just gotten into rally racing, and I was headed to a party in the middle of no where. I was driving down this road with a friend of mine following in his probe, without trying I started to lose him, when I see him coming strong up behind me, so I decide to press it, pushing a little over 70 at times (not safe, the road is pretty twisty, with blind sections all over, I was flipping my headlights off and on near corners to see any possible light from behicles coming at me around the bends) well, apparently he knew the road better than I did, because suddenly he backs off and I see the road dissapearing in front of me, theres a near 90 degree right turn, I manage to slow down and fly around the corner, sliding a good portion of the way, but the car goes crooked as I come out, so I correct and get it straight, and then just as my heart starts to relax the car jerks hard left right into and embankment head first, I end up flipping end over end and coming down hard on my roof in the woods. Found out after I apparently pulled a tire off the rim and thats why she jerked on me at the end. Needless to say the car was destroyed, and I shattered my hand taking my frustration out on my newly aquired scrap pile.

Stupidest thing I've ever done: It was dark outside you couldn't see anything really. I was coming off the freeway and I rolled through a stop sign b/c no one was coming(except a car a long ass ways away), turns out it was a cop and he gave me a ticket. I got my license taken away for 3 months and It's still suspended, get it back Aug 28!!!! I will never run a stop sign again(in front of a cop)

We have a big lake here, it's called Smith mountain lake, it's the largest man made lake in the US. It's like 65 miles of shoreline takes an hour and a half in a boat to get from one side to the damn, doing about 40.
Anyway I live like 1 minute from the boat dock, so all my friends live on the lake, so they're all rich and shit, anyway one of them has a 2002 911 cabriolet, non-turbo. I decided I would follow him down this old crooked road that folows the side of the lake. Well as it turns out the two other people in my car through it off balance and as we were doing 80-90 something around this long sweeping turn the back end got a little light and I slid sideways through someguys yard and missed the lake by about 10 ft.

After playing around doing donuts in a snowy parking lot, I wondered what would happen if I pulled up the e-brake at 50mph. It was a long parking lot, and there were light poles with big cement bottoms down the center. My car slowly started to slide towards them, so rather than hit them, I made sure to get on that side in between... The only problem was I couldn't stop moving over, and I ended up slamming my left front wheel into the curb at ~45mph. Damage: $1600
Apparently I didn't learn that parking lots + the friend that was with me the first time don't mix. A few years later at a Taco Bell parking lot I decided to do circles around a light pole. Got up to 35mph, and the tires startes to squeal. Was about to stop, but my friend said I could exit on a different road. I figured I could just go around another 90 degrees, but my car only wanted to turn 45. Slammed the right front wheel into a curb at 35mph. It was turned all the way, pushed it into the back of my wheel well, dented the body. Damage: $3200
At least the second curb pushed my right wheel back to match my left wheel. Now at least my car doesn't pull to the left. ;)
They just installed these weird speed ramp things at UR. It's like a 8-10" high red tile sidewalk that goes across the road with these cement ramps on each side that just make a straight angle from the road to the sidewalk. I had four people in my car, and wanted to see how fast I could go over them at. At 25mph it was really fun, you're stomach got that wheeeee! feeling in it, and it didn't sound too bad for the car. I thought that was so cool so later I went back with one friend in the car, and hit it at 30mph. Everything got quiet as the car went airborne. All I could think was "Oh Shit!" and then BAM! my shocks hit the end of their travel. Luckily no sparks.
People thought I was crazy for paying the money to fix it, but I just love that car so damn much. I'm starting to get blue smoke if I get the rpms up there, that's not a good sign...

crazy/dumb things that i have survived doing in my CRX
tagging a college girl while on the way home from a party going 60mph on the 405
thinking i actually had hardcore rally driving skills on a dirt road and almost wrapping my car around a tree
taking 5 drunk people including 2 girls to a 7-11 at 2 in the morning in my CRX
doing a e-brake slide in to a puddle which turn out to be 2ft deep( but you shoulda seen the tidal wave it made!)
drive to los angeles from salt lake city during August without AC
not having a good excuse for going 115 mph when the UT HP pulled me over
and more to come...

Crazy stuff I did in my '03 Mustang GT:
Racing ricers through intersections that have cameras
Going 120-130 in a 55 zone downhill (yes, lost control, yes, the car is still in 1 piece luckily, and w/o scratch)
Managing to elude a city cop (I had no license plates yet wOOt!)
Stupid stuff I did in it:
While waxing I needed to backup a little, so I pushed in the clutch, letting the car roll back, while the door is open...into my fence. $2500 damage insurance paid (thankfully)
Drove off a curb, bottoming out (it was night w/o lights around, and I didn't see it :cwm27: )
Trying to do better e-braking 180s than my friend's old f-150

haven't done too many stupid things in my civic.
in my tempo i did some things:
dozed off and went into a ditch at 70mph
sped to school through my neighborhood (about 40 or 50 in a 30) while it was wet, lost control, and slid right into someone's driveway, stopping just before their garage door
backed up into some dude's truck door causing $1000 in repairs (which i paid nothing of b/c he was 15 with no license or insurance :))
slightly side swiped my friend's camaro
in both cars i've done tons of burn outs and e-brake turns. also gotten 10 tickets and a couple warnings. all in just over 3 years of driving by myself

prolly one of the stupdiest things i did, was throwing my crx into reverse going about 40mph, i was trying to stop fast cuz my friend had just crashed his car in front of me into a forest, in my mind i thought i had already stopped and tried to put it into park.
well 2 axles, a new tranny, and various other parts later, i was good.
