I have taken out my air filter and put a pantyhose on the intake tube for a day... yay yay.

It sounded like a true ricemobile.

I had a beater Cutlass that I HATED. It already had multiple dings and dents, and I was mad at something...so having a little temper tantrum I kicked the hell out of my driver's side door. Unluckily for me my mom happened to be looking out the kitchen window at the time, so she said since I didn't like the car I had, I wouldn't have a car at all. I was grounded from it for a month. Lemme tell you, you APPRECIATE what you've got once you've lost it. Riding the bus sucks. lol

I dunno if this really counts, but after an "argument" to put it mildly with my boss at work, I stormed out becuase he sent me home for yelling at him that he was a ******* *****, and several other obscenities, I started my car, put it in reverse, redlined it, dropped the clutch, and spun the clutch backing out. Then I put it in first, redlined again, dropped the clutch yet again, luckily spinning the tires this time, over-revved it from powershifting into second, since it was already redlined yet again, and let the clutch right out and spun it yet again until I decided to stop so I didn't glaze it..
Smells kinda like fish.

Ditto. Quite offensive.

I had a 1987 Chevy Celebrity, that thing was so much fun. When I was gonna donate it to the firehouse for a tax write-off, they told me they were gonna use it as the demo car for a DWI accident in front of the whole senior class in HS before the prom. So I painted racing stripes on it, painted the hubcaps and tires white, drew a huge MATTY P(HS nickname) MOBILE design on the front hood, carved ferrari into the back of it with a key, glued a Z28 symbol on it, and added a Vote for Palermo spraypaint on one side, b/c my dad was running for a local election at the time. It was great when the tow truck came to pick up my car, you should have seen the look on his face. But everyone in the school knew whose car that was that year. I took a whole bunch of pictures, but haven't been able to find them for some time, if I do find them I will post them.

I hit an 8" tall speed bump at 30 mph in my school parking lot. haha that was funny as hell. I didn't even see the speed bump. Those things are so frickin huge about 1/3 of the cars in the lot would scrape the top of the speedbump when going over. Then with the same car I was mad and backed out of a driveway really fast and slammed into a giant hill. The back was already smashed from my sister driving it so nobody even knew. This was my parents car by the way.

I had a 81' Toyota Celica in High School and half way through college. I was working on it in the garage- tune up. I had half of the car in the garage half of it out. I wanted to move it out of the garage. So, without starting it I began pushing it out of the garage. The driveway was on a slight incline. The car just took off. I dove into the car to yank the e-brake only to realize that the e-brake was not working. Here I am half hanging out of the car rolling down the driveway headed for a big old oak tree. I slammed into the tree. I sqaushed the whole left side of the rear. My neighbor saw the whole thing happen. I though he was going to have a heart attack beacause he was laughing so hard. It was definetly a funniest video momment. DOH!!!

Was with a friend in his car...we took 30 insense sticks and lit them simultaniously. Kept them burning for about 10 minutes and blew them out to really get them smoking. Then, out of luck (or bad luck) we both fell asleep with all the windows up. By morning neither of us could see b/c our eyes were so watery and stung like a drunken bee out of hell. Needless to say, every time I see an insense stick I run over to a corner and huddle in fear

Well, this wasn't me perse, but I was driving home today from visiting my parents house. I was going up a mountain-ish road with two lane passing for my direction. I was following a Firebird Trans-Am, who was following a Jetta TDI, we were all going about 75 or so.

This is a steep and long hill, so I had it in fourth to keep up with the guys ahead of me. We were passing trailor trucks because obviously they can't go very fast uphill. Apparently the Firebird didn't think the Jetta was going fast enough so he pulled into the right lane to pass him before we came up on the truck, but he misjudged the speed of the truck, and didn't have enough time to get back infront of the jetta. So, he locked his breaks up temporarily, and fishtailed onto the sholder of the road to pass the truck. The Jetta pulled over into the oncoming lane to give the firebird room to come over that way, but he obviously went the otherway. All of this while he was probably doing about 80-85.

I passed the guy later on (very slowly as not to **** him off), and he had his girlfriend in the car... What a douchebag, some people don't deserve to drive!
