When I was first learning to drive a stick in my friends car, I stopped at a light and when i tried to go again I stalled. Tried again and stalled, and I couldn't figure out why. I kept stalling backing up traffic real bad. eventually a cop saw this and turned on the lights. He comes up to me asking me what the problem was. Me, allready embarrassed, told him i'm learning to drive a stick, and I couldnt get the car to go anywhere. Well after a while we find out that I had the car in 3rd gear the whole damn time. I wanted to cry....

I've got two moments to share, one embarassing for me and another one that started embarassing but ended up... stupid. Just read on:

Second day after I got my car (still trying to get to learn stick), I go with a couple of friends to a famous hamburger restaurant in a nearby town's mall. It was a saturday night... the time for the weekly meets (after the meets comes "la fiebre", the races). Well I'm trying to cruise around the mall parking lot, looking at cars, making fun of another cars when my car stalls. A couple of times...
Yes, I know, I know, embarassing... VERY!

Second story: I was recently invited to race by a Mitsu Mirage Technica (I don't know if there's any in the USA; it's a stupid version with some emblems and a CD player; owners over here think they've got the $hit... I think they're all a pile of it. They're a pest!). So we stop at a red light, wait for it to change... GREEN! GO!
...
Stall.
Yeah, I stalled. But check this out: IT WAS VERY GOOD FOR ME TO STALL! Why?
A car ran through the red light. Poor Technica. Lost it's front bumper and lights.
Ditto... does that suck or what?

I mean... I was gonne ruin my 04! But got rid of a pest. Yay!

this summer, i went to the races (undisclosed place) and it was hot!!!!!!!!! there were like 100 cars plus!!!!!!!!! anyway, groups of the crowd started leaving so i'm like, "great, it's time to get it on". so i bounce with my friends and they manage to block the highway. fine, whatever. we all line up on the emergency lane while they start the race and stuff. we were all chill'n, highway was blocked like 30mins!!!!!!!!! after a could of people raced, the inevitable happens, cops come. so me and my friend run into each other cars (the fun stuff) and bounce as fast as we could. it was mad hot cuz u see all the cars scatter!!!! anyway, when we reach where we all meet up, i get out my car and i say to my boy, "yo son, i think you burned the crap out your clutch!!!!", cuz we smelled that joint from outside. he's all scared and he checks his car and he looks at me and says" yo, that ain't me". when i come to check my car, i see my e-brake was on all the way!!!!!!!!!!!!! can u believe i hit 100 plus with my e-brake on!!!!!!!!!!!!! that burnt smell stood in the car for a couple of days!!!! there goes my brake pads.

A couple weeks after I got my Vic, my g/f at the time asked if I had it broken in yet. To make a long story short, a cop pulled up behind me during midstroke. Luckily he was cool and told us to move along...

That was my most embarassing moment.

Ok fine... here's one from last year.
Walking back to my car through the parking lot with a new girl I met and I'm about to put the key in the door and she's like "isn't that your car over there?" (points to another car). So I say "don't you think I know my own car?"
...I was trying to get into someone's 4dr Civic and mine's a 2dr.

...and driving...
Sunday late night cruise, I stop at the lights next to a Mazda that wanted to race me. Well I got an A/T unfortunately, but what I learned was rev it in N and hit to D. (I know it's bad for tranny but it works).
Lights turn green and instead of D I pushed shifter wrong way to R flew back and Thank God I didn't hit anything... Mazda guy musta been like WTF - Idiot.
Try to imagine it cuz it was hella embarassing.

Hmm.. here's one.

I just got back from getting some McDonalds, get out the car and go inside and start surfing th e net while eating. My mom goes outside to smoke and comes running in "What happened to your car?" I'm like, huh? Turns out I forgot to pull the e-brake, it rolled down the incline, rolled through some gravel, and missed a 12ft dropoff into a waterless creek by inches. If it would have went in there it would have totalled the car more than likely. God that was dumb.

BTW, The guy who did a neutral drop into reverse, you made me laugh really loud at 4am.
