When learning to drive....
 

... did you ever hit anything?



ROFL

ROFL

:spock:

Kinda, but it wasn't a real person. It was an Avalanche fan. The City of Detroit sent me a thank you card and season tix.

:cuss:

Like I need this with a daughter who is almost 16! Thanks :huh:

A bong :bong:

Slayer hit all of those?

Nothing, although I failed my first attempt at the on-road test...

Before learning to drive, a friend of mine were highly anxious at the time to drive a car. So, we hopped into my brother's Ford Pinto and tried to drive it up Antioch.

At that time, Antioch was just a two-lane road with very minimal traffic. Anyhoo, we tried to crest the hill, but the Pinto ended up going back down the hill in reverse. We were fifteen and yelling, but we made it out alive...I then waited until I learned to drive.

I'll second that one!


(Now that it is out on the BB, I guess this means we won't be seeing Slayer for a day or two);):D

Sorry.... had to make dinner
 

Apparently, he hit a house in my dad's car.... Haven't seen the car yet, but he said it was just a scrape on the side of the car, and the rearview mirror was popped out. You'll have to get the details from Slayer....

I don't know how exactly he accomplished this, but it got to the point where he said "Come on, most people hit something when learning to drive", so I thought I'd see if that little piece of BS was true.

HE HIT A HOUSE!!! HOW IN THE WORLD DID HE NOT SEE A HOUSE???


ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL

This is one of the many reasons men don't live as long as women. S1ayer's dad would probably like to strangle the kid. But since it is his own kid, he has to push some of that emotion down deep inside.

I made a turn that was a little too wide and ended up in the left lane. When I was getting back into the left lane, I turned the wheel too much and got on the sidewalk. While attempting to hit the break, my leg was pushing on the wheel and caused me to turn right and into the house. Other than the side-view mirror, the only damage is under the right headlight....some dents, scrapes, and two small holes where the brick punctured the metal. :banghead: :banghead: :doh!:

Something to assist with the police report:

Gotta give you credit, at least you showed up to face the music.:thumb:


So, is this little incident big enough for you to get demoted back to the parking lot - or will it bust you all the way back down to a Huffy?

ROFL ROFL

:LOL: :LOL: :LOL:

I think he may have topped out on the Huffy...;)

So Slayer, you wouldn't have been lucky enough for this to have been your house would you? It be bad if you ran into a complete stranger's house. Shoot it'd be even worse if you ran into a niegbor's house and had to endure all the niegbors pointing, laughing and installing concrete retaining walls to protect their homes from the kid down the street.:)

Let's hope Slayer never drives anything larger than a clown car ROFL

No, it was in Platte City, about 20 minutes from where we live.

Not sure if they talked to the owner of the house or not.... I know they filed the one-car accident report though.

Slayer was probably pontificating on a deep subject and was distracted. (Tell that story, Slayer, and stick with it).

:LOL: ROFL ROFL :LOL:

Oh man, I literally spewed Mt Dew over that :eek: :D ROFL

There was a truck in the left lane that made me panic a little bit, which got me on the sidewalk......the rest of the story is at the bottom of the first page.

I really do have to give big time props to Slayer for showing up here and owning up to this whole thing! :toast: :thumb:

True, but he also really didn't have a choice thanks to Bearcats prompt reporting. ROFL :LOL: :thumb:

ROFL

That's a classic.

More like this...... Except the sidewalk was much skinnier

Well, after the thread a few days ago in which Slayer wanted me to let him drive on the highway.....

THAT'LL TEACH THEM TO NOT BUILD HOUSES RIGHT ON THE STREET!!!


:D

Wouldn't you think they would know better than to build a house right where Slayer is trying to drive?

you think thats bad I would come home after a night on the town
and one time the mailbox was under my suv and about 4or 5 times after that I would drive the kids to the bus and I always
took out one of the naighbors mailbox :D

How in the heck did I miss this thread?

I don't even have anything witty to add. Imagine that. Speechless.

Must be the baby, eh Phil?

Riding a bike, didn't wreck. Riding a motorcycle (13) I didn't have any problems, driving a car (16) no problem. 4 wheeler, no problem.

But when I was maybe 10 my uncles stuck me on a three wheeler. So I'm just driving in big cicrcles trying to understand how the thing drives, I have never drove anything with a motor. After going around a few times one of the uncles yells out for me to give it some more gas, I give it a bit too much. As I panic hitting the break I never release the accelerator. Now anyone who has driven one may remember that the breaks didn't do anything with the throttle turned. Very embarasingly, I actually hit the broad side of a barn.

Morphius
Still gets **** about that one.

Chin up, Slayer. Those things happen.


In 1979, I had a Mr. Misty on my dash on my way home from work at the Dairy Queen. (Yes, that Dairy Queen, ENDelt. My picture's on the wall there, by the way.) I made a left turn, and learned that inertia will make a Mr. Misty slide. A quick lunge, a loss of control, and suddenly I was up on a high curb. Tore the brakes out from under the car, but I never told my parents. When my dad noticed that the car had no brakes, I just shrugged. That was about two weeks after I got my license, and I was just lucky I didn't hit anyone or anything.

Shortly after I got my license, I hit another car. Barely.

I was stopped at an intersection and a big truck was making a left turn in front of me. He was close, and at the time I had no concept of where the front of the vehicle ended. I thought the truck was going to hit me, which would be BAD, because I was in a Vega.

So I threw the car into reverse and smacked the vehicle behind me. Did no damage to my car, but I did have to replace the other car's license plate holder.

Other than that, the only collision I was ever involved in where I was driving was one I got in deliberately, so I guess you can't really call it an "accident." :D

Oh, do tell, Mr. Riley.

I was chasing my arch-enemy through the streets of Kirksville. I got beside him on a two lane, one-way street and swerved ahead in front of him (my motivation being to stop him so I could drag him out of his car and kick his ass).

Now, in the movies, when this happens, the other vehicle stops before hitting your car.

But real life ain't a movie.

In real life, you cut in front of the other vehicle, and IT HITS YOU. And it's your fault. And you just happen to be directly in front of the POLICE STATION. And you have to pay to repair the prick's car. And your insurance rates go up.

:cuss:

Of course, the following week I did get the guy out of his car and beat the shit out of him, in front of all my friends and all his friends, so that certainly took the sting out of it.

Would someone explain to me why this particular thread is stuck at the top? :spock:

good question

This is the kind of thing they put in the movies and we all laugh our asses off over because it could NEVER happen.


Obviously we have not met Slaya Andretti!

I agree, I'm never getting in a car with that knucklehead. Imagine him with a cell phone trying to change radio stations.

Had my first 'accident' three months ago......

In a drunken stuper, I was moving my truck out of the driveway and into the garage when I nailed a friends 'Rodeo'.....That cost me $1,300 bucks! ****ing foreign cars!!!!!:grr: :banghead: :cuss:

on my first "practice run", I hit a trash can in the alley behind our house. No damage, but my dad laughed at me and gave me alot of sh*t about it.

Thank God we didn't have the internet in those days. ;)

Maybe it's just me, but it sounds like in the car on the road is the safest place with Slayer behind the wheel. What you don't want to be walking down the sidewalks - or worse yet, hiding in a house.

ROFL

No fatalities...never found any bodys under my suv
a tree once

:LOL: :LOL: :LOL: ROFL .............OMFG Slayer........If I didn't have too work, I could be having some fun with this.........:fire:

I have been in two accidents. One was sleep induced and the other was rain induced.

The second one REALLY pissed me off as I did all the correct things and a tire fucked me.

Did it bend ya over ? Give ya a reach around ? Did it use rubber ?........Kiss ya when it was done...............?

Damn, Jeff, that is almost as funny as SD's.

Hack - It didn't need to use a "rubber" (think about it).

That's what I ment............;)

Hmmmm, interesting. :hmmm:

Why on earth would you want to deliberately hit someone with a moving vehicle? Only one of two things come to mind: 1. The car in front of you was driven by some hottie, and you are one of those guys that will rear-end the chick's car in order to get her phone number. OR 2. You are a raging maniac who feels like every other driver out there needs a lesson, and someone pissed you off to the point that you had to ram your vehicle into theirs to prove a point.

Hopefully, it's number 1. And, even that is shameful.

Otherwise, I'd be interested to know why on earth you would deliberately hit someone with a 2,000 pound moving vehicle?

ROFL ROFL

2000 pounds? I think cars weigh considerably more than that.

Apparently you don't read so well. I explained the circumstances behind this two posts later. I was also 18, probably drunk, and very pissed off, the the individual in question had been terrorizing me for months. My goal was to cut him off, make him stop his car, then beat the shit out of him in a fair fight. Prior to this, the only time I saw this guy outside of his car was when he showed up at my house with five other guys when I was alone.

And as I turn 38 on Monday, that would mean that this took place nearly 20 YEARS AGO.

So stick your condescending lecture up your ass.

Frazod- chill.

I wasn't being condescending, and I wasn't trying to be an ass. I was curiously kidding around, but you don't know that because the post fails to prove the tone of my voice. Maybe I should have a left a smiley face at the end.

Also, I didn't read past your post. I was reading down, and came across your post and was astonished to read about your "deliberate" attempt to hit someone, and I immediately responded without doing any further investigation...

Sorry, you took it the wrong way...

No problem.

You didn't convey the sarcsasm very well. You also made it sound like I ran down some girl scout on the sidewalk for kicks on a Saturday night.

Inserting a smilie would have been a good idea.... :D

:D

I was indeed being sarcastic, and wasn't trying to accuse you of anything...:toast:

You probably tried..................Not that's there's anything wrong with that............:evil:

I learned long ago not to take out my rage behind the wheel of a car.

It's much better to do it here! :D

Yeah, those cookies suck..... :p

No $hit...........And they cost a bunch, for what you get.........Typical female's, think everything they've got is gold........;)

Yeah, but I still buy them. Go figure.

How can you tell 'em NO.............Our nieghborhood has got 2 of 'em...............:banghead:

I hit a gas pump when I was learning to drive. We did most of the training later at night. My dad wanted to fill the car up and had me pull into one of those card lock places. I swung too wide and the corner of the bumper creased the front of the pump. Really no big deal but freaked my dad out. For the next two weeks, all I heard about was how I almost blew us up, etc. :rolleyes:

Had a girlfriend that ran into a house. It was just after she got her license. There was this farmhouse just past a long sweeping corner. She made it through most of the corner, then apparently just decided to go straight (I never did figure out exactly what happened). She went through the side of the house and hit a piano. Fortunately, no one was hurt.

Ryan

Slayer, don't feel too bad. I had an ex-girlfriend who ran over her Driver's Ed instructor and broke both his legs.

She failed the course.

If nothing else, this poll proves that there are at least 5 women members of this board during the offseason....

You sure you didn't drop the cherry off your blunt into your lap?

Holy sh1t! I give him points for showing up to take a beating but a house???? Send him to Iraq and they may surrender rather than take that kind of a beating!

Dave

PS I'd have never done this but I'd never confess to being this dumb publicly!

"YOU ARE DUMB PRIVATE PYLE BUT DO YOU EXPECT ME TO BELIEVE THAT YOU DON'T KNOW LEFT FROM RIGHT!?!?!?!"

Kinda reminds you of slayer huh?

Dave

Sometimes you make it difficult to like you...


;)

I voted "No", BTW...

Ok, who else around here hit a house???????

The smart money says TommyKat.

That's probably why PapaSmurf is glad to drive her around - it is easier for him to drive her around than it is for him to repair the walls in her garage for her.;):D

ROFL ROFL

:LOL:

:shrug:


Not me, but I have worked 1 or 2 when I was working the ambulance in MO.

pretty much. :thumb:
