Deciding one day (not too long after I 1st bought the car) that Mercedes' ESP system must do well in the winter, turning it partially off with the switch, then losing control on a snowy major road at around 70-80 km/h (trying to gun it up a long hill without getting stuck), and sliding 20-30m sideways, uphill. Stopped maybe 1-2m away from T-boning myself against a parked car.
I've been driving like a grandma every since.

I accidently put my car key in the house, and it started up!
So I took it for a drive.
I parked in the middle of the road and sat on the porch.
I was yelling at people to get off my lawn when I woke up.

1st day owning the machine I:
1. couldn't figure how to unlock the doors (middle console, duh!)
2. couldn't open the gas latch (push, duh!!)
3. couldn't get the key out of the inginition (yank the f-ing thing, duh!!!)
4. didn't know that a tiny mechanical key resided inside the FOB, so I left it unlocked and watched the car all nite for 5hrs (wait, what?!)
LMAO In my defense, I've driven Honda's and 90's cars. "ain't no technology in a 90 EF hatch! only electric thing is the damned gauges and headlights"

Messed up my power steering pump but doing donuts with the ESP ON. Major fail on my part, I was only 16 and the car only had 5k miles. Warranty covered everything.

ESP had something to do with it?
What I've heard is if you hold the steering wheel at full lock, with pressure on the wheel, it toasts the pump, regardless of donuts or ESP.

One morning my hot 15 year-old sister came into my room crying. Dad had finally told her that her real parents were unknown - she was adopted. I was a good big brother. I put a comforting arm around her, and told her that it doesn't matter, that we'll always love her, and that I thought she was the most wonderful sister in the world. Then, I dunno how it happened, but we kissed, and soon things got really passionate - clothes came off, and... we had the most amazing sex. Sadly, it didn't last. After I came, I found out the condom had split. She started crying again, and I got the shakes. We went downstairs, hand in hand, to break the news to dad that his adopted daughter was probably pregnant. I have never been less amused by the words "April Fools".
just kidding... it wasn't me, but i feel like i would wanna share....

Hmmm,, let's just say that a cotton ball with rubbing alcohol left sitting on the aluminum console in the Coupe will eat the clear coat off.
