im like the biggest drift wannabe ever even though i know you can drift in FF drive cars.

1. last year i was going down this hill and around this turn that i always powerslide on, but this time i wanted to step it up a notch so i hit like 50. bad idea. i jacked the ebrake and slid to much onto the sidewalk hitting a sign. messed up my front a little bit.

2. about a month ago i had some friends in the car and one of my friends aready knew about this one turn because we had slid it before. well i once again stepped it up a notch...well like 3 notches to be exact to 60mph. i didnt jack the ebrake but i still ****ed up. i slide around it fine, but the intertia of the slide slung me into these peoples yards. it popped a tire and later caused my a-frame to break and my axel to fall out of my transmission. also a side note to that story, someone had previously recorded me doing it and turned it into the police. they almost suspended my license for wreckless driving. and im banned from that neighborhood.

3. another thing that was really dumb was when i first got my car i went over 100mph without even having 500 miles on the odometer. good thing nothing ****ed up.

4. another dumb thing i did was one night last summer i had 2 friends in the car with a bunch of beer and stuff and i was going down this hill around 40mph and slid around that too. didnt lose control or anything but there was a cop sitting at the bottem of the hill. got my first ticket.

Im guilty as well,

Ramped a minimum 45 degree angle bridge over a canal, I stopped looking at the speedo at about 125 and a AWD BMW. I did the same in my '84 Camaro but at only 100, me and my friend both did it inline. I do not recommend this as I am a pretty good driver and the only reason I didnt wreck at 125 is probably the AWD, and the added weight on the wheels of my best friend in the passenger seat. He was thinking about buying a new bmw and wanted to know how much power it had and if it could corner.

Also, took a 90 degree right turn with a steep grade for the first 10 feet or so - pass side wheels came off the ground for about 1 second or less, the AWD on those things are kickass.

This isnt city driving but - One day in my '01 GMC Truck me and the same best friend went to a closed off road and there was this trail to get to a motocross track but to get there, there was a sort of dirt bridge(flat, no hills) which was just big enough for my truck to fit, and provided only about 3 feet on each side and it had just been raining, so there were mud puddles. There was this one huge one coming up and I grinned and gassed it, I hit it pretty fast and started fishtailing all over the damn place, and I couldnt see **** because mud went all over the windshield, and I did not have any washer fluid.

I made it out ok, didnt fall off the 20 foot drop that was there or anything, but as always, I got away.

People never tell you abut when they screwed up and wreck.

My best friend was doing donuts in a DSM(stock) and fell off the drop there (its filled with about 8 feet of water) one day, it was dark and he was drunk I guess. It was his moms car, and damn she was pissed. The car has been sitting there at her house(they pulled it out) for at least 3 years now. (Anyone interested in buying it, south Texas area, prob. pocket change.)

It only has a little bit of scrapes and of course all electronics are busted.
He was 1/2 mile from his house! Came home all wet without the car and his mom was already wondering WTF.

going 90 on a 45/55 "freeway" sorta thing... saw a ford f-150 and a black crown vic (this is before i knew about UC cops driving crown vics) the f-150 in the left lane, the crown vic in the right lane, with barely enough room for my 92 toyota paseo to fit, so i cut behind the f-150, cut off the crown vic, and speed off to about 100 before the vic came up behind me and flashed his strobes... no ticket..

In my sisters Toyota 4runner....theres this really skinny bridge near my house that has a hump on one side and if you hit it anywhere over 50...you will get some air. Crazy ****. So im feeling stupid and its me and my friend. I get up to about 80 and get a big fricken hop, now look, this thing is about 13' wide. Very narrow. And not to mention. A car was coming down the road, not on the bridge yet but close. I did it twice. It was fun but scary as crap...hahaha, i love youth

Some dumb/stupid/dangerous things i've done

Well In a parking lot my friend was playing around and standing in front of my car when i was parking so I reved my engine at him and crept up slowly not using the accelerater. Well I thought he would move but as it turned out I ran over his foot, luckily he didnt get hurt and we still remained friends haha.

A crazy thing I did to try and cut time off in traffic when i was late was passing everyone in the left turn lane then when the light turns green cut off the people going stright, yah stupid I didnt know what i was thinking.

Also now that civicskater mentioned there is a railroad track that was on my way to high school back then that looked like this /``````\ well a little lower but anways it was a pretty huge slant up. Anyways after I graduated me and my friends were going crazy and when I was approaching the tracks instead of slowing down I gunned it and my car flew in the air like a foot high at least.

Eh after I got into an accident and my car was totalled however (which wasnt my fault, I got rear ended while stopped) I NEVER do anymore crazy things, not even speed over 10 km/h. After you have an experience like that your whole driving mentality changes.

The craziest thing I have ever done was cut across 6 lanes of Philly traffic moving 65 mph, me doin 80 to try and make the exit, anyone who lives and drives Rt 1 every day will know what I'm talkin about... when I say cutting across I mean jerking the wheel to the right after realizing my exit was coming up sooner then I thought.

Three days ago,

Driving down a back road, about a tenth of a mile from my house, heading home.

There's a 75 degree Left turn.. you can take it safely, in a normal car at about 35.

I was doing 80 (note, i've done this a hundred time) with my brother in the passenger seat. I eased into the turn, everything was fine. Mid way through the turn, i noticed a bit of water on the road. No sooner than i said "FU(K" my brothers mouth drops because he knew we were **** out of luck, and the front tires proceed to slip. On the right side of the road is a three foot drop off, accented by a nice DITCH!......

I SLAMMED the brakes for about a quarter of a second to shift the weight to the front to make the tires grip. As soon as i did that my *** end slid right and i was "drifting through it".....

Cool you think? somehow the *** end slid all the way back around so i was facing the ditch, and sliding the opposite of a drift.

I corrected it, got the car facing the correct direction, and drove the rest of the way home.

Notes - The turn is about 100 feet long, and all of that happened in about five seconds. INTENSE!

If i would not have corrected this slide. My brother and I would be dead. No doubt. Hitting that ditch would have flipped my car several times. again... INTENSE!

That's the fun times that us Ohio Boys have.

you are very lucky my friend... ..glad to hear everything is cool though

uh... I've gone 105 in a 30...that's about it, I don't really do "stupid things" since all the dangerous stuff I do is usually late at night, and i've spent a lot of time building up my driving abilities, so I know what My car can and can't do....

Before my civic, i had a 300ZX. I was doing about 65 on I-90 and I needed to take the junction to I-405 but I was 2 lanes over in moderate traffic. The only opening I saw was just big enough to sandwich my car between 2 sedans. SO... stupidly enough, I dropped it in 3rd and blew across 4 lanes on the freeway to the far right lane of the off ramp flying through those 2 sedans. I didn't pay attention to any of the other cars around me so I didn't know if there was a cop around or not so I kept my foot on the floor and hoped that I wouldn't get pulled over. I felt real lucky after that.

i live out in the country and there is this one knoll on a road where if u go like 50 mph over it, ur front tires are coming off the ground. Well, after the first 5 times of doing it at over 60 mph i decided to go faster and hit it at 75mph and all 4 wheels were a couple ft off the ground and when i hit, i guess the body shifted and it cracked my windshield. This was in my 79' malibu, i was 16 then, stupid stupid, stupid.

also in my malibu, i tried drifting it on a 90 degree turn doing 45 mph, needless to say, i drifted right up onto a stone fence and came back down on the road with no damage. Man was i scared.

Going fast over a bump to get air isn't a stupid thing, say, you gradually change things, like try it at 60, 65, 70, 75... but it's when people try it at like 30, and are like "wow, that was fun, for more fun I'll do it again at 120... 4 TIMES THE FUN!!!" little do they know, they're probably going to die...

In Little Rock, AR theres a pretty well known road going through town called University thats kindof like san francisco.

Its got hills that go up and down, etc.

I had been getting to know the road a increasing speeds over a couple months, and one day I was going uphill and I stopped at this light next to a 96 or so civic. The guy wanted to race so went the light turned we went. I pulled on him a few car lengths, and at about 125 or so I looked to my left out of the corner of my eye and saw a cop. I was like oh, ****, there goes my freakin car for the next couple days.

The cop pulls up to the left turn lane next to me(im in the go straight lane) and in the meantime im turning my radio from my Dr. Dre "you dont really wanna ****, with me...) to something more sensible like some freakin country station(I do this every time I get pulled over, so the cop doesnt automatically think im some punk who thinks hes a G)

He he rolled his window down and yelled really load, "YOU NEED TO SLOW IT DOWN, SON"

I said " Yes Sir!"

He said " Nice car."

Then he proceeded to peel out, fishtailing as he turned left at the light, with his cherrys'n berrys on.
I was laughing my *** off because I couldnt believe he didnt pull me over. The guys I was racing pulled up finally and they were laughing at me and ****, but I just took off, hell I felt kindof like an idiot, but though it was funny as hell at the same time.

Must have been off-duty or something..

Anyone got any "He let me go" stories?

Just an hour ago getting on the freeway I decided to punch it while merging to getting onto the freeway and there was this green truck in front of me who i guess thought I was trying to race him. So I just keep riding along on the freeway and these guys in the truck keep comming up right next to me, so I drop it in 3rd and pass them. They kept comming right up next to me about like 2-3 times and I kept dropping it into 3rd and passing them. So on the last time i wait for them, and the passenger holds up 3 fingers trying to tell me that he wants to count it down. So as his fingers drop I drop it into third again. You could tell that this truck was a V8 because of how fast he picked up in the beggining. After I put it into 4th we were still dead even. I looked at the speedometer and it read 115. I was in the far left lane and this guy was right next to me. Then we start approaching a turn and I noticed that this guy was pulling away from me but I still kept going even though we were entering a turn. So I'm still punching it while we are turning and the left side of my car starts to bounce a little, and it kept bouncing and boucing and bouncing, and I was holding that wheel really hard to the right so I wouldn't hit the wall, but I was still punching it. I must have went like three lanes over while taking that turn, and I looked in my mirror and the guy in the truck had backed off, so I let off the gas after the turn. I pulled up next to the passenger and he told me "Your f*ckin' crazy!" with this grin on his face. I took the next exit.

That was by far the stupidest thing I have ever done, but it sure was worth it

Actually this is all just a big lie. I also never drifted infront of a del sol goign down a mountin.

Racing an older taurus SHO, at 110, with two trucks ahead, I passed on the shoulder lane, instead of waiting for them to move over. The other guy waited like a dumb ***, and I never saw him again, casue I was too far ahead of him. But i'm known to just do stupid ****, casue speed and dangerous moves, is what i do best. (7-miles finest driver).
