When my wife and I were in Germany in February we decided to use a ride share to get down to Nuremberg and back. Using a combination of pigeon German, English 101 and some good luck we found a ride with a nice woman who spoke about 4 words of English. So we're in the car cruising down the Autobahn at like 130 mph and smoke starts to come into the car through the vents. At first she plays it off like, "Oh, this always happens", but the the car is getting like REALLY smoky and she starts freaking out.
Now, if you've never pulled over on the AutoBahn, imagine pulling over on a regular highway, but twice as fast. She finally manages this and by the time we pull over I couldn't see the front seat it was so smoky. So we get out and she pops the hood and kind of mimes, "Just the coolant, it's just steam, we'll be okay". My dad's van used to do this so we're fine. Then I notice something on the ground a couple of feet behind the car. It can't be. It.
It's a piece of the engine. And as she pokes around, more pieces fall out. We had to camp out on the side of the autobahn until the German AAA showed up. It turns out she'd had her car in for repairs and they forgot to put the screws back in. Good times.

I overtook some motherfucka that was going 30mph on a backroad that was set as 55mph. My NEED GO FAST instinct bubbled forth and I passed him at 75mph. The State Trooper going the other way wasn't enamored with my public speed racing feat though. I'm sure the dude I overtook was laughing at me as he drove by at SUB FART SPEEDS as the trooper handed me a $180 speeding ticket ;_;

Every day I drive to work is a combination of bad car experiences. I think ppl are either suicidal or insane. I'm gonna get one of those rock crawling trucks with the tubular exo-skelton welded onto it so when ppl try to change lanes into the side of my car at 9000mph they'll just bounce off and hopefully run off a cliff and die.

This happened on a trip to New York City. I was 15-16 and with my father: We are driving in a rental car towards a bridge. My face is buried in a Sega Nomad with some Mega Drive import I'd found. Next thing I know, I wake up after having blacked out...the windshield is hit, the front of the car is dented, and the airbags are out. My glasses are in the backseat, my face is completely bruised, and my nose really hurts. I look down and see the Nomad. It has a huge crack in the screen, presumably from where my nose it hit. My father is nowhere to be found. He finally comes back and gets a police report; some asshole cut in front of him on the bridge, and he swerved to avoid a crash, hitting one of the pylons. The airbags popped out and knocked me the hell out. We cleaned up, got another car, and went on our merry way.
Also nothing too terrible came from this, but between my brother and I, we had three accidents (NOT our fault!) in the SAME SHOPPING CENTER. Two were idiots hitting the side of the car when my brother was driving it, and later on when I got the car, a UPS truck backed up right into the same side door of the car that one the people who hit the car earlier did it. :lol Right before we got rid of the car, at my university parking deck some freshman kid backed up into the SAME DENTED DOOR. There was no damage; it was just a bump, but the kid saw the big dent and freaked out. I was laughing my ass off. :lol :lol

well i wasnt really racing with him, he's always lapping round and he was getting up my backside so when we got to a roundabout (it was clear) i dropped a gear and got away from him easily (only got a little car thats glued to the road so i can throw it around corners) then when we got over he took me over
yeah its pretty stupid and im gonna try not to get involved in shit like that again
