haha i've done something like that...though luckily i didn't hit anything. took a left turn way too fast and before i knew it..i was facing the where i just came from. [] it was late and nobody was out on the road fortunately..but i wouldn't have tried taking it that fast if there were people there.

I took a corner too fast, and I scratched the curb... well,I hit the curb... but luckily there was only damage to the rim. No real damage to the tire other than a small gouge [&:]

Okay, possibly the dumbest thing I've ever done..........period.
It happened to me today. I have been tuning all of my cars that I've had from 17. I am now 28. Today, I was changing the spark plugs. I usually,
once I loosen the plugs, use a pen magnet to retrieve them from the plug chamber. I had gotten so use to the magnet....I was looking for it today and found that the magnet had broken off. So I drove around the whole island looking for another pen magnet.....about 2 hours.....and then it hit me....."@$$hole.....use the spark plug wires to take em out!!! DUHHHH!"
Another thing, I used a dish washing sponge to clean my car one time. When the sun hit it I was like oh shiat. All I saw was swirls from the pad.

Here's one at least....
I was screwing around in a dirt lot and went to leave...I decided i wanted to spin the tires a little so i revved it up and (didn't quite) drop the clutch. I left it like halfway in or something....
The clutch was soooooooooooo soft it didn't even feel like it worked. Oh and my civic didn't want to accelerate either
