Ever do somthing stupid with your e30? Self pwnage
Middle of February in NH: My driveway is covered in ice/snow.
My old eta sits on the other side of the driveway and I decide it is a good time to move it.
I hop in and start it up. Plop it in gear and the wheels spin ever so freely.
Car goes nowhere; I’m 16yrs old and by myself.
So what do I do? I leave it in 1st, hop out of the car and start pushing.
Sure enough the car breaks free and takes off without me.
Headed right for my house!:crazy:
(I thought I would be able to hop in and take control)
Well sure enough there I am running after the old eta that is headed for my house. Before it hits the house it changes direction and gets caught in a snow bank.
So gratefully it did not crash into my house, but now it is stuck in a snow bank! So I get in and try to reverse it out. No luck, so what do I do?
You guessed it, leave it in reverse hop out and start pushing.
The car takes off again and I chase after it. It is headed right for our woodpile and I’m thinking oh shit, oh shit!
I finally catch up to it do a superman into the car from the drivers side door and as I pull the ebrake the car slams into the woodpile.
I try to drive off and it is uber stuck. I decided that hopping out and pushing would not be a good idea this time.
So at this point I say fuck it and go inside.:drink:
I wait till it warms up and the snow is gone to move it.
Well there it is one day sitting in the air with the rear wheels off the ground.
(Snow melted from under the wheels)
It is sitting in my yard with a piece of firewood vertically jammed under the spare tire well. Balanced perfectly!
a week after having my car, abouit 8 years ago now....i jumped an extented curb at the local tim hortons and bent a rim/destroyed the tire. the first and last time i used my spare.
OK, I'll join in. When I was 18 I had a 79 shit brown rabbit. It was awsome. I went out dawn patrol one morning and checked the local surf spot. It was decent, but I wanted to check another spot down the street before getting in the water. So I got back in the car and went speeding down the dirt beach parking lot. At the end of the lot, where it meets the road, are some massive pot holes. I decided then that it would be a good idea to swing my car into the field of tall grass on the right to avoid the pot holes, all while doing about 50. Bad idea, tall grass was hiding slightly less tall stone wall. Absolutely destroyed both front rims and jacked the front of the car up so bad that it could never be aligned properly again. That was the end of the shit brown rabbit.
Drove over a large patch of ice going 70mph, lost control, went straight into the offramp wall. Somehow I didnt bend the frame, just f'ed up the fender fubared the b'cap and CA. Oh and now the tire rubs the strut under 5mph. Not sure if the strut assembly got bent or the shock tower moved ever so slightly.
As time went on, the factory developed the car each year, making it faster, more comfortable, and capable of handling at higher speeds.
You don’t want this. You want the trickiest, most dangerous, oldest model you can find. Only then can you prove to the world that you’re a man.
