I've done so much stupid stuff that I've lost count. One of the dumbest things happened while I was washing my car at night. I used to have an 84 Mustang LX 5.0 ragtop. I was washing it outside the garage me and some friends rented. It was dark, and the overhead light only shined well on one side at a time. With the hose on full blast, I aimed it at the drivers side(the dark side). While standing inches from the driver window, I started to wonder why the water was not beading of the window. All the time I'm thinking this, my big dumb a** continued to hold the hose on full. Yep, the window was down. I owned that car for nine years and never got caught in the rain with the top down. But one braincramp was all it took to soak the interior. I sat my disgusted self in my soaking wet interior and went for a drive. At least this screw-up didnt cost me any money. Dan
You're not dumb, just normal I think we all have our share of mistakes. Luckily, most don't require stitches, bodywork, or new engine parts.
Back in the day when I had long hair (at this point, hair period). I was working under the car and it got in my eyes. So I shook my head back to move it and proceeded to smack the back of my head on the driveway. :eek2: The immediate recoil was to bring my head forward which caused me to smack my forehead on the frame of the car. ou: Wound up with a lump on both the front and back of my head. Got a haircut the following day. Mark
hah! I tried to throw a piece of gum out the drivers window while it was up...my friends in the car got a laugh out of it:laugh:
Once,as a misguided ute on a Holloween egging spree, myself and 2 friends tried to throw some eggs out my dirver window. But needless to say, the window was up. I got egg on my face that night...ou: ou:
to this day i hate creepers! dont wear the mullet any more either. and that reminds me of the first time i ever changed tranny fluid, but that is another story. 'ou:'
I know "somebody" who, at the impressionable age of 16, lent his car to some guy he met a few times at the local cruise strip to rob a 7-11 at gunpoint. He wanted to "fit in". :eek2: The kid was told to report his car stolen if the robber wasn't back in 1 1/2 hours. The payoff for the kid was a tank full of gas and a ski cap full of all the loose change from the register. stupid kids...stupid kids...stupid kids...stupid kids...stupid kids...stupid kids...stupid kids...stupid kids...stupid kids...stupid kids...stupid kids...stupid kids...stupid kids...stupid kids...stupid kids...stupid kids...stupid kids...stupid kids...stupid kids... Oh, that kid is now a respectable member of the community. And the robber eventually did 2 years.
my dad often tells a story about my grandfather . in 1936, he had just purchased a brand new 36 ford sedan . my grandpa & my grandma were on there way one day to the local town . now my grandpa usually chawed a wad of tobacco . now when u chaw , u have to spit every now & then . well u guessed it ! he huckered up a wad of spit & let fly . his window was up ! and of course a slimy brown sputum then ran down the inside of the driver's window . my grandma's only comment was - "you made the mess, you will clean it up !" gerry
High school friend, busted up over a girl, drank himself sick one night. Cruising in another friends car, he started to get the urpie urge, reached over and rolled the window UP and barfed against it! Stupid kids indeed!
Exact same thing happened to me a year ago in my old 84 Cutlass. The kid thought the window was down and thrusted his face into it and puked up the nastiest smelling puke ive ever smelled. The kid promptly passed out so I drove to the local carwash, took the kids wallet and used the 11 dollars he had to vaccum and wash out my passenger side floor and door panel, as well as the puker himself. That is the last time I will "do the right thing" and take the drunk kid home, unless i have a pick up truck.:spank: :spank: ________ BONDAGE GIRL LIVE

Had my car (not the Buick) up on jack stands in the driveway changing the rear end fluid. I heard what sounded at first like a healthy exhaust (turned out to be an old pickup) and turned my head quick to see what was passing by the house. In doing so, I dragged my nose across one of the fuel tank heatshields on the car. In case you're wondering, they don't deburr these at the factory. Ended up slicing my nose open and bleeding like a stuck pig. I apparently didn't do a good enough job of cleaning it out as I have a faint but permanent black line that runs down one side of my nose as a reminder of my stupidity. ou:
Garage door I was fighting with my first wife and went into the garage to leave. 16' wide heavy garage door was hard to open. When I looked I saw the pulley for the cable and spring was cocked on one side. The pin had come loose from one side and was only held in by the other side of the bracket. Anyway I stood in front of it, lined up the pin, and tapped it with a hammer, never thinking that there was tremendous tension on the spring and cable since the door was closed. Of course, the pin came all of the way out, and the cable and pulley slammed against my face like a giant bowstring. The pulley smashed into my forehead, shattered my glasses, and left me with a hole into my sinus cavity. I was breathing through my forehead... After I got patched up I had a door contractor come out and install a torsion type spring. I've never worked on a garage door since.
Hi All, I've done too many stupid things to remember. I once was driving with my wife , had just finished telling her why I always drive when we're together,"because I'm so much better than her BLA, BLA,BLA.." and proceeded to sideswipe one of those 4' orange and black highway conesou: Blew the side mirror right off my truck. She always uses that as ammo when we have a driving "discussion":af: Adam.
:gt: When my friends and myself were about 17 years old, we were out partying and I was driving my Dad's '71 Toronado. One friend got a bit too hammied and as I was driving him home he announces he's gonna hurl. Just as I am coming to a stop as quickly as possible, he opens the car door and it swung open and slammed back shut just as he began getting sick. Thank God the car had vinyl! A quick trip to the self serve car wash and Dad was none the wiser. :bglasses: Ohh... war stories.p
I played the nice guy one night about a year ago and took this drunk guy home. This was at school and he lived only 3 minutes away. He was in the back seat and there were about 6 people in the car. The window was down already, and he still managed to hit the side of the door panel. His head finally made it out the window AFTER he finished. Needless to say, I'll be careful about who I take home next time.
