Whats the dumbest thing you have done in your car...
And no, I am not talking about speeding...
This weekend, due to my wife being mad at me for getting the C63 (long story), she refuses to let me use her FX35.
Well, I was working on my walkway, and needed about 10 bags of crushed gravel for drainage base, and some sand to cover it before putting the stones down...
Can you guess what happens when you hit the gas in the C63 with about 900 pounds of bagged stone in your trunk and on the back of the back seat (had seats down in an attempt to distribute the weight evenly)...
It all shifts to the back of the trunk in short order and cracks the plastic under the carpet over the spare wheel...
Excuse me while I go smack myself in the head a few times...

giving the key to my friend so he can drive back from our road trip since i drove there and i was tired... and then he was curious what the car tops out at, and decides to go for it... at night... in a construction zone... with 2 lanes... on the left lane only (because driving in the middle of the 2 lanes would be illegal?)... and barrier walls on both sides
was i scared? yes
how fast did he get it to? 172 mph (still climbing but he let off)

I did the same thing with my seats....was so pissed that those fancy jeans ended up as a nice rim cleaners.

Potholes are not my friend, neither are slow drivers in the wrong lane!
Overtaking a slow moving car on the wrong lane (next to the curb)
only to hit the mother of all potholes....at speed.
Tyre got a big bubble and I now have a new rim on order.

Ran over a sand bag that I didn't see following a car and I have two scratch lines down the dead center of my front bumber way underneath. It's all the way where it meets the underneath plastic protective shield and is totally unseen. I couldn't sleep for 3 and half weeks just staring at the cieling at night...

Ran over what appeared to be and I thought was a very large wet beach towel on the highway. Had no where to go so I straddled it. Apparently it then tumbled, wrapped around and ripped the entire rear Revozport carbon fiber diffuser off the rear of the car!!!! CRAPP!!!!!
