Fess Up!..... Stupid Things We Did While Driving In our Teens.

[newportrider]

Way to many to list. Let's just say I survived and never hurt anyone.

I have the same list, but I quit/wised up when I hurt someone! Not a great feeling!

[RT DAVE]

Most noteworthy?  Going 150 miles per hour on the interstate with bald tires and 4 passengers without seatbelts in my charger.   

Honorable mention?  My buddy climbing out my car to shut my fuel filler cap while I was driving 30 mph in a residential area.   I realized he was doing so when I checked my rearview mirror.   I was just about ready to nail it when I noticed he wasn't sitting next to me anymore.  Checked the rearview and there he was squating on the decklid and reaching for the fuel filler.   Yes, he's still alive.

Sounds like a lot of us has seen some action in our younger days... 

I did my fair share of stupid stuff when I got my first car, and I'm just thankfull, that I didn't hurt anyone or crash into anything..

A couple of my stories:

Me and three others was driving with a buddy of mine in his parents car, when he decided to launch the POS in the air on a little narrow road, we hit a big bump in the road doing around 90 mph, and we were used to be doing around 65 over the same bump, which would only just make the car leave the ground.. I saw it comming, since I was used to him driving, and knew the road very well, but the three others had no clue 
He tore the mounts for the gearbox, and the car had several "grindspots" where sparks flew when we came back down again..

I jumped my first car, so the shock mounts shot in to the trunk. Funny how that makes a car not handle very well..

One time I passed a cop on the highway doing around 140mph (speedlimit is 70), as he was getting on the off ramp. I saw him comming on the on ramp in my rearview, with the lights and all, but he never caught me..

Along with a buddy, I designed a rally stage on some backroads close to my city, and the we took turns in trying to set the fastest lap, or get from A to B the fastest.. That was some dumb s**t right there.. Speedlimit is 30mph, and we were doing 90+ most of the way.. If I could get the road closed, I would actually like to try again someday, but no way I'd do it with other people on the road..

Other that that, we found it very amusing, for a while, to pull hard on the handbrake, making the backtires scream, scaring the living crap out of people on bicycles as we passed them..

Any new stories anyone wants to share?

Got way too many to list...
Here's just a glimpse.

Climbing out of the pass. side of my ol '67 Plymouth while best friend was driving about 45 MPH, to impress some b*tch in HS.
Street racing at night, almost everywhere, but most noticable would be down main street past Sheriffs office at 2:00 AM.
Driving down the street without all 4 FOUR hood pins installed. "Becasue I figured I was just going down the street, no biggie right?"

I attended lots of funerals in the 70s and 80s of the guys that didn't make it. No fun.

I love these stories, you guys are a crazy bunch! I get a kick out of hearing this stuff, one of my own stories:  I put a lawnchair ontop of a skateboard and got skitched (towed) by my buddies moped! We topped out the bike at around 35 mph and it was a blast! Very sketchy though at around 40mph you get speed wobbles and being in the sitting position on a chair, falling at those speeds would surley mean you have no more face (yikes) Very fun but it only takes one stick or pebble and youre done.

almost 29 years ago I shredded the Mach1. 

Oct 83


Dec 83


A few days later.

[Ghoste]

Whoa!!  How did you survive that?

[moparstuart]

Wow way to go Dave. If you going to destroy it do it right.  Lol.

[1970Moparmann]

Whoa!!  How did you survive that?

Holy crap .   Hit a tree?

[lloyd3]

Amazing! Came close to that in a Roadrunner one night. Thank god b-bodies crash well.

[marshallfry01]

How did you wreck that pony?? Was alchohol involved? Lol

[FJ5WING]

I didnt hit a tree but got hung up in a cable guiderail which snagged the rightside and got me flipping along the top of it while it ATE the car up pretty good. The guy in the oncoming lane told the police I flipped at least five times...who knows, because I sure dont!

I was attempting to see what the top end was, When I bottomed out the speedo it was still pulling so I stayed in it. No idea how fast I was going.
Dec 19th 1983... The cable replacement was pricey, the DOT charged me for 300' plus all the anchor posts and I replaced a utility pole.

Me and two friends found a 16lb bowling ball, got to the top of this hill on a 4 lane road, got in my 73 challenger and headed toward the bottom- we got to 75mph and threw the ball out the door toward the 4 way intersection. We got lucky because we were laughing so hard I took my foot off the gas for a second and the ball hit the tire and flew like a cannon ball into the ditch.  I'm so glad it hit that tire, I couldn't imagine what it would have done to and early 80's escort ... or the passenger that could have been inside!!
