ORIGINAL: xgrafcorex
haha i've done something like that...though luckily i didn't hit anything. took a left turn way too fast and before i knew it..i was facing the where i just came from. [
] it was late and nobody was out on the road fortunately..but i wouldn't have tried taking it that fast if there were people there.

I took a corner too fast, and I scratched the curb... well,I hit the curb... but luckily there was only damage to the rim. No real damage to the tire other than a small gouge [&:]

I was puttin on some new springs and was workin on a bolt somewhere around the lower bearing. I couldn't figure out why I couldn't get it off until after I snapped the head off.....I was turning the wrong way. had to drill that sucka out Lefty loosy righty tighty
Okay, possibly the dumbest thing I've ever done..........period.
It happened to me today. I have been tuning all of my cars that I've had from 17. I am now 28. Today, I was changing the spark plugs. I usually,
once I loosen the plugs, use a pen magnet to retrieve them from the plug chamber. I had gotten so use to the magnet....I was looking for it today and found that the magnet had broken off. So I drove around the whole island looking for another pen magnet.....about 2 hours.....and then it hit me....."@$$hole.....use the spark plug wires to take em out!!! DUHHHH!"
Another thing, I used a dish washing sponge to clean my car one time. When the sun hit it I was like oh shiat. All I saw was swirls from the pad.

Here's one at least....
I was screwing around in a dirt lot and went to leave...I decided i wanted to spin the tires a little so i revved it up and (didn't quite) drop the clutch. I left it like halfway in or something....
The clutch was soooooooooooo soft it didn't even feel like it worked. Oh and my civic didn't want to accelerate either
