What's the craziest thing you've done behind the wheel of a car or on a Bike? I'm talking crazy now. Don't say, "I did a doughnut once"


Personally I'd have to say the craziest thing I've done is fly across an intersection with all four wheels off the ground. I was a young and dumb 16 year old with an old beater Integra. Me and my buddy

Some friends and I took one of their trucks to a private road near where we lived. The road had some serious sink holes, some of them like 3 feet deep and 15 feet in diameter. Made for some pretty good jumping. We felt like the Dukes of Hazard jumping over those things, and we swore we were getting like 10 feet of air.

We decided to have someone stand on the road to see how much distance we were actually clearing ... we were getting a good 3-4 car lengths, but only like 18" off the ground

It was the length of your typical intersection so however long that is. I jumped off one street, flew through the air and landed on the other side. I never set wheels in the middle of the intersection.

In my mothers 96 Toyota Avalon , going down a small back street (non resedential) going about 80 mph, hit a little mound in the pavment on the pass side and got that side airborn - my car doesnt have enough power to go fast enough when you hit it lol

And then plenty of times in my civic on a dirt road and it sliding around the corner.

No damage to any cars, yet

On my friend's family farm property, he keeps an OLD chevy (like an FBI sedan) that is affectionately called the "bubble burster." This car has the radiator opening boarded up for good reason. At the end of the harvest, there are always some misformed hay bales on the property... so you get in the car (which has a couple of 5 point harnesses) and proceed to drive at speed THROUGH the hay bales, blowing them apart because they weren't formed properly so aren't AS solid as regular bales. They still pack a wallop tho, so the chevy is looking a little sad these days!

Last time I did that was 3 years ago when I was 19. Good times!

We took another friend's pickup over above mentioned sink holes, this time with unsuspecting other friend in the bed (with canopy). He was like "WTF are we going this way for?", no idea what was about to happen. We all braces ourselves with our hands on the roof, and his eyes got wide as he saw what was coming. In the rear view mirror (i was sitting bitch in the front), I saw him get launched up in the air, pinned up against the roof of hte canopy for like 2 sec (seemed like forever), and then slammed back down into the bed.

He was soooo pissed

We laughed our ASSES off after that one ...

I was driving a friend's F100 truck though a muddy field without brakes or windshield wipers so I couldn't see where I was going and hit a ditch. The battery jumped into the radiator fan and was chopped to pieces. I had to pull the battery out of my car to get the truck out of the field.

Another time we got this beater S10 and tied the throttle open, steering wheel, and then slammed it into gear and watch careen into a ravine.

Good times.
