Before I knew how to slide it or even drive a standard properly I decieded to dump the clutch at about 25-30 around a slight bend and looped it around in a 180 on a main road. Scared me quite a bit to say the least haha

Also when helping my buddy move we threw a couch out of his second floor apartment into the bed of my truck. Messed up the couch a little bit but my truck was fine haha

Im sure there's more I just cant remember right now

Walked close to ten miles to the nearest house to use a phone...mine didnt have service. Nice local guy in a truck came and pulled my ass out.

Started to drive back and my bumper fell off and poked my tire so i couldnt drive anywhere. Spent the night in the woods, in the morning I walked the same ten miles to borrow a hacksaw to cut off the bumper from the same folks...I was in those freaking bear infested woods with no food or water for like two days before I was able to limp out...good experience to have but scary.

That's a fucking story, holy shit. Hardcore man.

In my old ranger when I was young and stupid I jammed the e brake at 30 and did a 180 on pavement..

turned a 2hr trip from my house to dallas to 45mins, locked my keys in my truck with both spares sitting right next to it on the center console and went off roading/short cut around traffic after i lowered it and almost ripped my underbody light kit off.......before i lowered it i had 31x10.5's on it and took my 2wd off roading...alone...sunk it to the axle in a mud spot but with luck got it out. lets see what else....w/ it lowered i challenged a dodge 2500 to a race and beat him twice from light to light (lost the third due to his preformance chip he turned on and my bad timing to look at the girls in the car next to me) and finally i pulled a 12 or 16 foot trailer loaded down with my whole house almost with over 400lbs in the bed cuz of my weight set and drove 45/50 miles to my next location (at stock hight)

I second this, best thing to do is find another form of stress relief although it can be difficult. For me i just grab my 1187 and box of shells and head into the woods wear i got my targets setup. that is if i'm close to home lol

Two things I did in the last one:

1. I was driving and was turning left onto a side street that stayed left. So I punched it and the truck spun & did a perfect 180, left two long tire marks that are still there today. Dumb part was I almost lost it into the guardrail haha

2. My brother & I were on our way to a new years party and we were drifting in the parking lot. I came to a turn, lost it and smoked the curb on the front drivers wheel. Put a HUGE dent in my rim.

Told my parents I hit black ice haha
