How about sitting on grid at an autocross, and then trying to start your car... when its allready running. allways a great attention getter...

Rep Power: 296 no check this. I was making a left hand turn at a light and this hot a$$ girl was stopped on the street I was turning on, heading the other direction. we make eye contact and she mouths out "hey tom" and i just get stuck...forget im making the turn and drove straight onto the side walk. Man, i was so embarrased!!!!! luckily i was driving a rental tahoe and it was tall enough not to damage.

Rep Power: 368 Pulled up at a stop light, this guy in a Cavalier (do they follow me around or something? Gawd I hate these cars) pulls up with his system up, starin me down and bobbing his head. Not to be outdone, I turn mine up and actually shake HIS mirrors (yay Brahma!). The light turns green, we both proceed off the line (not racing). I stall. Very sad.

Rep Power: 0 i remember when i first got my car. the girl at the dealer ship was really cool, and she offered to drive it to our house, cuz i had the rental still, and my mom was in hers. no big deal right, well then she has to get back to work somehow. (keep in mind that she is this really hot mexican chick, whos like 22. god she was gorgeous) so she climbs in the front, and my hommie is in the back. he can drive a stick, he taught me. so i tell him to drive and he pulls one of those "hey its your new car, bro" type things. so im now sweating bullets. we start ok, but then i stall at just about every stop we come too. and if i dont stall, i was peeling out. so we get on the freeway, and we are crusin. now its time to get off, and instead of going from 5 to 4 i got from 5 to 2. wow can you say embarrassing. and she was just laughin at me. not even tryin to play it off. i wanted to die. lol

when i first got my vic, my girlfriend wanted to drive it. it's a/t, so i wasn't worried. for some reason we went back and forth on it for a couple hrs, because i didn't want to be "easy" and just let her drive it. eventually after i got something out of it, we end up getting ready to leave, after all the negotiations though... i left the lights on and it wouldn't start. i felt kind of dumb. she thought i did it on purpose and held a grudge for the rest of the day.
This morning I pull out of my apartment and went down to the end of the street. There's a bus stop where there are always a bunch of hotties waiting and sure enough there were about 4 just waiting there looking as fine as can be. I take off in 1, not too fast because I wanted to check them out. When I get within googling distance I needed to switch to 2nd and it just didn't want to go in, Grinded once, 2x, 3x! OMG! Took it to a shop already and they said I have a bend shift fork from all the racing i've done. F*#^!

Rep Power: 279 stalling out always embarrasses me 
but my most embarrasing moment in a car was when i still had my first car, a 5speed saturn. i was just arriving at work and this hot girl (who also worked there) was leaving. so i quickly pulled my car into a spot, put it in neutral and took the key out.
i walked over and started talking to her, when all of a sudden she looks behind me and says, "your car is blocking traffic"
i turned around and my car had rolled out of its spot and was blocking two cars that were trying to come down that parking lane. turns out i had forgot to put the e-brake on
the funniest thing i ever saw though was when i got my first bike.
i had only had it a week and my friend joe said hed teach me some stuff. so we went out riding, me on my bike him on his bike. after an hour or so of riding we ended up at the mall for a break. i pulled in and hadnt gotten off my bike yet and joe pulls up gets off his bike, all "smooth" looking and then the bike falls over. turns out he forgot to put the kick stand down. i asked him what happened and he said, "i was trying to impress those 3 girls over there"

I went up to this chicks cottages, and after welcoming me and the usual formatilites of meeting her parents for the first time, they were happy with me and they offered me to stay the night and proceeded to show me a spot to park , so I get in my car throw it in reverse. they had this HUGE truck with a black grill as tall as my car, so as I backed up I looked in the mirror, figured it was just darkness and BOOM backed right into her uncles truck. Luckily there was ZERO damage to his truck since I hit this metal thing for attaching snow shovels or somtin.

Now im not one to really race. But i was on my way home from work today. And this POS ricer wannabe cavalier was driving like an ***. And i guess i pissed him off cause i got in front of him but i didnt cut him off...
Well we pulled to the light to go over the bridge and i was in front and he cut off the guy in the next lane to get up front. So he all looking at me saying something i dont know casue i had my windows up and radio on but i saw him talking some kind of ****. So i hear him rev his little riced up pep boys exhaust tip motor up. It sounded like complete ****. So just to prove a point to a little punk *** kid. I decided well when the light goes im gonna smoke em.
Now granted im completely stock no add-ons. So I hear him over there reving a bit like he was gonna take off...light turns green i floor it and the little punk stalls his car.....hahaha i laugh all the way over the bridge and didnt see him again.
Wasnt me embarassed but it was someone else embarassed.
