What's the dumbest thing you have done with your car?

Best times in the car were also my most destructive times. Ramming garbage cans / recycle bins, and going off this jump in the middle of an elementary school field.

The brakes on my Monza Spyder that I had in high school were squeaking, so I put some grease on the shoes and put it back together. The squeaking went away and it actually still stopped. I got a lot of flack for that the next year when I became a mechanic.

Forgot to tighten the right axel nut and wondered what that grinding noise was. Drifted around a few corners only to make the noises worse... than i noticed i didnt have an axel nut anymore. In my defense I just got it running and was anxious to take it out.

Lowered it with coilovers, then when one of my shocks broke i took a 3 in metal pipe and slid it around the strut to hold the spring holder up.... umm its still holding strong, but hey it saved me some money.

The worst thing I ever did was buy my first DSM. Its been downhill ever since. Money, money, and more money.

drifting it into a curb doing 20mph.

Buying my heavy ass 18 inch motegi mr7s and putting yellow scorchers on the wheels. They where for my Grand Am, it was tight. Talk about a waste of $1200

Either putting my own clutch in only to end up dropping the tranny 4 times in a row and wasting 8 months of downtime.

-or-

Driving about 6 miles to work on a flat tire in my beater.

I made a cardboard gasket from a ceral box for the oil fill cap on my '77 T-bird. Had a bit of an oil fire under the hood. Luckily I was able to put it out.

I also rebuilt the "iron duke" in my first 84 SE Fiero. That was a big waste of money, I even put a header on it. :(
