Drove off the motorway, to rest, to the side of the ground while stuck in a traffic jam. At the time I didn't realise that a RWD car is no good at coming out from a pebble section. Needed to be towed out by a 4x4 and this was after some dumb idiot suggested that I us pieces of wood behind the rear wheels while I accelerated hard!! landed up scraping my wheels - BUT that was an excuse to get new ones

So I did something stupid. I was in a hurry and at a light waiting for traffic to clear so I could make a left turn. I see this old 80's accord coming towards me but he has right blinker on so I pull out and that MOFO speeds up his car (On purpose so he could hit me). Luckily I made it. Did not even honk...idiot sped up. What a POS.

Last week. while waiting at the red light, blasting music out loud this VW jetta pulls right next to me looking hard, as soon as the light turns green he smashes the gas and so do i right after.
I get next to him than start pulling up about 1-2 cars, than all of a sudden i see him coming closely so fast until he passes me, at that moment i couldn't believe what was happening until i decided to look at the cluster to find out i was at 1st gear 7000 rpms(music too loud)which i completely forgot, thinking i was in automatic mode. He turned at the next light not giving me another chance and i was pretty embarrassed

Probably a good thing you got caught. If you'd hit anyone I knew I'd make sure you'd never drive again.

forst warm day this year,reversing out of my tire guy place,looking right and left making sure not to it anyhting and all of sudden heard a loud bang... Of all the places,guess what,i didn't look straight out the rear window and banged into a POS older Van.
Luckily,i just have few scrapes on the rear bumper..
