havin sex with my wife while drivin to Georgia for vacation. she was wearin a mini skirt and decided she wanted some. so she took off her thong, climbed on top and took a ride. by the way my wife is only 4'10", that's when i had an '85 firebird. so it wasn't too hard to do, gotta love cruise control.

Only thing I can think of is after I did my CVjoint I, hadnt driven it in like 2 months..well, i forgot to lock my lugnuts on.. huge ass brain fart. the car was fine for about 3 months then when i was in Merrit Island FL, which is an island between the "mainland" and Cocoa Beach, my wheel started wobbling off.. omfg. I didnt have my cell phone on me, and it was about 110 degrees probably middle of summer, noon.. I kept having to jump out and FINGER TIGHTEN my lugnuts. it was terrible. The worst part is i had to go over a bridge to get home, and it was a tiny bridge with no pull off lane.. so I pulled over right before the bridge, stuck my pinky in my lugnut and spun it on, then valiantly drove across at like 10mph.

Luckily I lived right next to the bridge on the water. That shit sucked.

I also filled up my oil one time and forgot that it doesnt drain out of the oil filter hole.. I was wondering why so little oil came out, figured my car burnt it all.. Well, I put the new filter on, put 4 liters of oil in, started the car up..and wtf it was terrible.

I then realized I didnt drain the oil.. So I had to go spend another $40 on mobil 1 and a filter.

first week I had my car I tried to race a vette (I was in a lane that was ending up ahead).. so i punched it.. got out ahead and started loosing it.. went sideways about 60 feet before I stoped in the middle of the road. Thank god the vette owner was paying attention. I learned to respect the power after that!!!

Couple of Highway shoulders, and how about running a dead red on the strip. How in the hell do you run a dead red at the beach and not get pulled?
