i was driving some friends to taco bell on night after a party, took a wide turn ran over the concrete median (you know those parking space dividers). I needed 2 new tires. thankfully they were covered under road hazard. eek.

i lost my keys at a party when i was drunk. never found them ever.

that was when i was a teenager...(about a month ago) i'm resposible now. i can't believe i'm 20 now.

when i was in high school i frequently took my car down snowmobile trails, through fields, anywhere else i wasnt supposed to drive it.

then with my first car that was stick i drove around with my parking brake on for a few miles. i didnt realize what the issue was until i got home and the rear brakes were smoking.
