guppie01 0 #57 February 5, 2009 Not a good idea to do dounuts in the mud, in the dark, in your 4Runner, then try to flip and tow it out with a Rav4. Skydivers after hours lack all reasoning. g"Let's do something romantic this Saturday... how bout we bust out the restraints?" Raddest Ho this side of Jersey #1 - MISS YOU OMG, is she okay?

lurch 0 #58 February 5, 2009 Never ram an old snowbank. From pavement into a 10-foot high snowbank at the edge of a parking lot in a jacked up 4x4 warbuggy. The vehicle went violently airborne, then steeply nosedown in midair and the first part to hit the ground was the bullbar on the frontend. It ground along on the bar for a second, almost went over on the roof, then fell heavily back onto all four wheels. The impact dislocated the engine and tranny 3/4 of an inch on the rails and left it idling in neutral with the stick still in "drive." And a nice new bruise on my neck from getting clotheslined on the steering wheel. Seeing pavement coming up at your windshield is never a good thing. For a second I thought the drivetrain was broken till I dropped it into "2" which was now the new "D". No matter how tough your jeep is, if you drop it on its nose from an altitude higher than its own wheelbase, its gonna hurt. I drove the thing for another 5 years though after I fixed the frame. It actually still drove straight on the highway... -BLive and learn... or die, and teach by example. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lurch 0 #61 February 5, 2009 Well, there were two things I wasn't expecting. First was the snowbank turning out to be solid enough to be a beautiful ramp, second was what was gonna happen when the rear suspension (with rancho shocks and a double springpack, compressed to the frame by slamming the jump at 30+mph) unloaded at the top of the ramp. One of life's best "Oh, SHIT!" moments. Only time in my life I've had a vehicle so cleanly airborne you coulda stood at the base of the snowbank and it wouldn'ta even took your hat off. That car was FUN. -BLive and learn... or die, and teach by example. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There wasn't anything he could do about it, but he got fed up with her and pulled the key out of the ignition while still going 50 mph just to shut her up.

skittles_of_SDC 0 #69 February 5, 2009 Quote Flare. +1 If you are making a braked turn at 50 ft. you sure as shit better plan to flare from breaks too. It's not a good idea to let up so you can get a full flare. Don't jump over railings without being completely sure whats on the other side. When you are little, it's not a good idea to put on roller blades, find the biggest hill in town and see how fast you can get going down it. especially if your parents don't know where to go to look for you. While starting fires with caps (thing cap guns) sounds fun, it can go very wrong very quick. Your closet is not suitable to be converted into a swimming pool.

gearless_chris 1 #72 February 5, 2009 Quote Quote Wash your hands really well after slicing habaneros. Especially if you wear contacts and/or think you might be getting lucky any time in the near future. Better yet, wear gloves when slicing hot peppers. Blues, Dave I have a box full of latex gloves for making chili.

Good thing I made sure there were no cars coming first.Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.
