I waz playin b ball at my buddies house back in august and completely seperated my achilies tendon.(left foot) there waz no way I waz leaving my bimmer anywhere. So I drove 3 miles home in my 04 545i....MANUAL!! Well with no calf muscle to press in the clutch I managed to work all three pedals with one foot. Drove 3 miles home on side streets, main streets, express way and made it all the way home. Pulled up in my driveway and had a brain fart. I waz in souch pain I forgot my left foot didn't work and pulled into my spot behind the house and couldn't stop and hit the f@$&in fence!!!! As soon as it happened all the pain left my foot....all my concerns turned to my car. Luckily it just had a few nicks on the bumper and cracked the licence plate holder. My wife waz pissed at the fact that's all I waz worried about sitting in the er waz my baby.....she's just jealous of the other woman in my life!!!

i have a daily commute home to work from Lake Forest area to Long Beach back and forth...and about twice a year we do an out of town trip to Vegas...for those who have been on the 15, it's a strech where we can put the pedal to the metal, so on my way back out of nowhere i heard a crack on my windshield but didn't notice anything at first....the following day i saw a long dent, about 1inch long in the fron part of the hood (near the bmw logo) and towards the bottom of the winshield a pinky nail size crack...not to mention from my daily commute my front bumper is full of rock chips from the fwy - and my car is jet black. So maybe next year i'll take in to the shop to get sanded and repainted, anyone on OC/LA area recomend any?

close call, well i was changing my angle eye bulbs and scratched my big hands trying to place LED that stupid small hole. I'm 6'3 220lbs, the hole in the headlight casing is about 3 inches wide...not cool. ohhhhhhhhhhhh wait a sec. ok, so driving at around 730 am highway travel. traffic is getting thick so i decide that it is time to cut and weave to prevent getting caught in any type of bottle neck. so i end up getting stuck behind this B#@#$ cruising at like 65mph; all of a sudden i see this rock like thing the size of my fist, (see above for size reference), flying at me. of course i am about 4 feet behind this B*#$# who decided to run over a rock the size of Gibraltar. needless to say i managed to avoid contact with my front end, only to have it strike my side panel under the side mirror. The chip is about half an inch long and to the bone, i mean the bone...... well that day was a horrific experience for anyone who made contact with me.

Not really crazy but I had no idea you could open all the windows at once with the push of a button. My car was on the set of independent film I was in (the house we were at was supposably haunted and looked the part. Im standing talking to someone and all of a sudden in the distance I see my windows go down. Im like WTF. I went to shut them...again 10 mins later same thing happens. I seriously thought demons were messing with my car. It was really just being pressed down in my pocket. SOme guy told me I was hitting the button to do it and I thought it was pretty funny.

Timely post...
Had a road rage contact yesterday on the 91 freeway, westbound at Beach Blvd (for those in SoCal). Changed lanes and this dude appears RIGHT on my ass with his fuckin high beams on. Now I've been driving for 27 years and I ALWAYS check six before signaling and moving. So this assclown rolls his windows down and starts chewing me out. Well, my impulse control was missing that day, so I let him know he's #1 and sofa king wetarded.
Not one of my prouder moments, but life goes on.
