I was crusing down my street in 2nd and go to downshift to 1st to get up my driveway and I didn't notice I hit between 1st and 2nd and the shifter popped back into neutral. I slowly let out the clutch and gave it gas and it was revving real high while I was like WTF WHY AM I GOING BACKWARDS.

Hmmm... I recall popping an axle out of a tranny once, the fluid was still hot and I had forgotten to drain it, and a 1/2 second later I had burning hot tranny fluid all over my face, head, and neck...

drove drunk and wrecked my car
saw a tool i left in the engine bay and reached down to get it

in the process, my wrist came into contact with the exhaust housing of a T3 turbo

it left quite a burn

i also got my hand stuck in the dash of a mustang. had to cut the dashboard to get my hand out.

Drivin into a stopped car >frown.gif>. Happened 5 days ago!!

JDM Powerplant installed, BPU coming very soon!
Tried to take my aluminum oil cap off after driving for about 3 hours.... that did not feel good.
Oh, I also forgot, when I was cleaning my engine bay I accidently left a can of degreaser under the hood. I drove 5 miles and when I was idling in a parking lot, I heard this clanking sound. The nozzle of the can was touching the serpentine belt, melting the nozzle.

I'll second that.

The dumbest thing I did has most of you beat I think. I drove my car for 6-9 months thinking the passenger side door was broke, so I made people crawl in out and the window to get in. Turns out, the lock was just disconnected from the lever on the inside. One day I decided to try and unlock it from the out side, and it opened right up. I felt pretty dumb. I thought it was funny though. (This was not the Celica)

Ooh I did that too, resulting in tons of damage.

The dumbest **** I've done was I drove my girl friend's car to drop her off at Cal Poly Pomona. Parked her car, pulled the e-brake and took an hour nap. Woke up and wanted to drive to a fast food place to get something to eat, but the damn car wouldn't start. When I turn the key, the engine didn't cough, starter didn't click. So I called the Cal Poly security guards to help jump the car thinking it might be bad battery. They came over, hooked the battery up, but the car still wouldn't start. At the end, the security looked inside the car and stared at me.... DUDE YOU DIDNT PUT IT ON PARK!


Fcuking automatics.

hahahaha..
about 5 years ago, when i had my 93 probe, i was cruising around town. i had my friend Bryson with me. we would turn around at the McDs and b4 i would pull out on the street i would pull the Ebrake and do a burnout to 2nd gear. did that about 4 times. on my way from McDs a kid yelled at me at a red light. i was prolly 8 cars back. He said "Turn'em over!".
i chirped them and took off.
sitting at a light on my way back to McDs i noticed a cop pass me and stare right at me. i watched him in my mirror and noticed he did a u-turn about 4 cars behind me. when the light turned green i took off and turned down the 1st alley i saw, turned my lights off and sat there. I asked Bryson if the cop passed and he said "yeaa. oh, ****!"
the cop saw me and turned in the alley.
by the time he got out of his car there were 3 sheriffs cars, 4 city cops, 2 highway patrols and 1 K-9 unit surrounding me.
they searched me, Bryson and my car.
told me the reason he went after me was because the Mayor was sitting at McDs eating dinner and watched me burnout, plus a V6 with no cats and 2.5" exhaust gets loud.

the dumb part:
After he gave me my warning he told me that next time i try and hide from the cops i should turn my red neon underbody lights off.
