Car was surprisingly undamaged, part of the frame cut through the ramp.

>>two morons/ passenger wants to race

This is why I keep a Fake Sheriff's Deputy badge in my car. Just flash at them and it shuts them up pretty quick. It's only illegal to impersonate an officer if you're actually trying to do "police work"

>Get brand new sports car, used to driving a tiny MR2 with a turning axis that goes sideways
>Reverse bay park in a fucking awkward spot, right next to a large curb, and an even bigger fucking curb in front with barely any room to manoeuvre, think nothing of it
>Couple hours later come back, there's someone super close waiting for my spot to open up, literally the only way I can get out of the car park is to drive into where their car is, and then reverse back until I can make a 3 point turn about 10 meters down the one-way car park and turn around (but I didn't think of that at the time)

If only I didn't reverse park... I could have just pulled out and been on my way, instead I had to push the bumper back in place and lost a bolt, and the bottom is scraped to hell.

>Realize that close call could have been a big insurance claim and made my car enthusiast life much harder if the brakes where any worse

Glad It was only a close call and I learnt from it.
Still push any car I've owned but only when I fully understand the road and car conditions and no one else is near me on the road. I also never push the car if I have a passenger.
Got a few FWD cars sideways but always had the space and time to recover it and carry on like nothing happened.

Ayeee modestobro. Fuck this place and their shit drivers, that's why I'm moving to SLO

I don't get it user, it just took me over 40 minutes because of traffic to get from Manteca to Modesto. And there wasn't even any accidents or other obstructions. Just fucking stop and go traffic for about 10 fucking miles. And then the people in the city are even fucking worse. Everyone's on their fucking phones and swerving around, driving under the fucking speed limit. I fucking hate this place

The car was surprisingly undamaged, save for a few scrapes on the bottom.. I left the parking lot shaken and with a destroyed ego. My friend never lets me forget.

This is what nightmares are made of

Pretty sketchy if you ask me. I'd probably just use it once and toss out the window after.

did he charge you for pulling your car out?

Modestofag here
stay the fuck out of my way

take airport to kasson and get on the 132, retard
very little traffic as i'm driving the opposite direction to tracy

you can borrow a torque wrench for free from autozone, you shitheel.

That was 3-4 years ago, probably. I have one in my garage now

I fucked up recently, but it's not Veeky Forums related.

I don't think I've ever made a serious Veeky Forums fuckup. Fingers crossed.

I can't tell how fucked his mirror is, but I left a note with my contact info. Feels bad. man.

Bootlicker

>skateboarding

you should have been shot on the spot

What's wrong with skateboarding??

Checked. You're a cool guy.

Wow you got massively cucked and took it like a little bitch

Congratulations you have no balls

Papi lets me main his old s10 with the 4.3L the week i got my license because i had been driving for a while.

Get to smoking tires in parking lots because im like 17.

Decide i should drift down this notorious dirt road we have in my down which winds down a small mountain, hillside on right, gorge on left.

>Fishtail coming out of corner
>Fly off the road on the right
>stuck between to trees breaking both mirrows and crimping the front quarter panels

Had the trees not been there or had i been another few hundred yards down the road i would have gone off a cliff.

>mfw i have to walk down the rest of the road and hail some redneck to come pull me out with his real truck and chain.

>Papi

you have to go back

Thats a beautiful sprite look how happy it is! I wonder if design elements from the front end of that were used in the miata as inspiration.

>Driving home

I had some adventures with my first car:
>get lost in city

>turn left onto oncoming traffic going right
>nobody coming, thankfully just honked at by other drivers until I realized what I was doing
>embarrassed, did the reverse of shame back on to the street I was originally on
At least I had fun at my friends wedding, also:
>trying to park in a tight spot between pavestone for an elevated garden and another car
>going in slowly, thinking I'm clear
>I hear scraping sounds
>FUCK
>back out and try again
>scraped my cars bumper on the pavestone

>Papi

are you a little gay fucktoy

>not just walking away after seing some dipshit blocked the road and waits for you to drive away

do you even autism

I was yelling profanities for about 15 minutes straight driving home.

The damage was superficial at least, the fender was able to be pushed back into place with no warping or anything, it was just so damn stupid a reason to damage a brand new car.

The cunt in her hatchback saw me hop inside my car, she then made sure that 'nobody else could steal her spot' by coming up real close. It's not a real one way lane, I could have driven that way to get myself out or done the reverse thing, it's just 'frowned upon' because it's not the normal thing to do, so the bitch assumed I wouldn't go her way.

All I can do is be mad at myself for not thinking ahead and forcing that stupid fucking hatchback out of my way.

Shoulda ran him over. Big trukk beats small trukk. If he lives, and can still use his legs, he wont do it again

Dont remember specifics, but first time driving in a big city i fucked up multiple times. These arent going to be in sequential order, im typing them as i remember them

Same night

>driving around trying to follow the gps to get to the highway and get home
Looks like gps is saying to take side road and not highway.
>do that, all 3 passengers wondering why
>spend the next 5 mins driving the exact same route i just drove
>get to spot gps said to take side road at last time.
>throw gps onto the floor and ignore it for most of the way home

Same night again

>driving around at like midnight, not many people out for a big city. Looking for a place to pull over at so i can fuck with the gps.
>blow through a red light doing at least 40. Halfway into the intersection a car flys by doing at least 15 more than me.
