That's hilarious! What kind of coding is that? I've been learning about coding... Not very well, obviously...




Alright... I've been posting stuff on everyone else... Now it's my turn.

I was in an alley, and the sun was in my eyes. There was something on my windshield that made it impossible for me to see, so I saw a place to turn out of the alley. What the grime wouldn't allow me to see was that there were steel cables going up to a pole, kinda close to the side of the alley. I was going about 20, and decided to cut the turn a little bit. Next thing I know, I hear this grinding noise, and the front of the Blazer is going up into the air. Of course, brakes don't work on tires that aren't touching the ground. Miraculously, I went straight up it, the cable right in the middle. Then it stopped. Suddenly it just starts leaning to the right... I'm sure I'm gonna roll... Suddenly- BOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!! from the transformer, flash of light, and another snapping sound. I slammed into the ground, threw it in park, jumped out and started freaking out! There were all sorts of deep skidmarks in the grass from the few feet when I tried to stop before leaving the ground. The cable I hit was dangling there, and I nearly knocked over the pole. And, oh so lucky, this happens half a block from the school, first thing in the morning. People heard the boom, people saw the top of the pole rocking back and forth in the air, etc. Jr high power was out for hours, internet at the high school I go to was down for a bit longer. Only thing Neko got was a dented bumper and some acceleration on the wearing out of some already worn out parts! And a bulb went out at the same time, not sure if that's related or not. Probably is.

After that, I completely redefined "leaving the scene of the accident," using the spectacular display of a backwards peel-out in dirt. Of course, my friend called me "squirrel" for a while, and nobody- not even my teachers- will let me live it down.

I still go to high school (senior year) so anyways i was drivin a few of my friends to school that morning, well we were running late and there is a set of train tracks on the way to the school. Well being my luck i stopped at a stop sign and saw a train about 50 feet away from the intersection, i was roughly 60ft away. Now i love to take risks so i put her into high gear and floored it (peeling off a ton of rubber in the process). The train was hitting the horn cause he saw me and well i beat that thing by 10 ft. My friends now think im one crazy Sob (kinda true).

well, i almost had someone find out how well my Winter Import Bumper works last week.

some guy in a CRV decided to ignore all of the glare coming from the road in front of him-which was behind me (the school bus infront of me slide sideways a foot & a half when he stopped!) because i left about 25 feet (or so) between him & i, i waited ti'l the last possible second to move forward the 2 feet that he needed to stop.

wish i had of pulled out the camera to get a pic of the look on his face.

definately would've been priceless!

not taking that little bit of your post out of context, but it should've read.........."people that have no idea", 'cause i've gone through snow so deep that it was coming up over the hood. and this was in my '96 Jetta......while driving down the 400 (locals will know what kinda snow this highway can get).

i lost count of how many Cherokee's, Explorer's, Blazer/Jimmy's i passed that night.

Win.
i've got that one beat. i have a Super Single (that's what the name on it is) from a CN locomotive for my 'Burb. you should hear how freakin' loud it is @ only 75psi! problem is, i can't seem to find a quick enough 12V compressor to keep up with it.

oh man a few weeks ago i was going to work and saw a car stuck in the ally a block down, so i went down to check it out, guy in a jetta got hung up in the snow and broke his front bumper off, a little low to the ground..shoveled everything around cuz couldnt get under it to hook up the tow rope.....and the guy had no idea so had to tell him if he tried to back out he would rip his bumper the rest of the way off, so another guy showed up and we pushed him out after several rocks and him stalling his standard about 4 times......so he drives down, and where he SHOULD turn onto a busier road he keeps going down the ally, and does this again and then gets stuck again 2 blocks down the ally. Foreigners, dont even know if he understood what we were saying..so this time i thought, ok im just going to let u sit there for a bit, so went to work went inside got stuff all put together and went back outside and saw him still stuck there...so bunch of us from work went to push him out and he KEPT stalling it again and again and again as we tried to push him out....one of the guys pushing is a farm boy and just says stuff up front how it is.. he looks at him and says. why are you driving down the ally you shouldnt be driving down the ally.....then as we push he stalls the standard AGAIN....now he has stalled it so many times the battery is dead and it wont turn over.. so the farm boy goes, you should have bought an automatic...foreigner goes (my friend told me to get a standard it is better on gas), haha, so farm boy goes well you should learn how to drive a standard then....surprisingly he had a jump pack in his car so he jumped his car got it going, we got ready to push it again and just got him unstuck, got him about 2 feet forward and HE STALLS AGAIN, pushes the clutch and rolls back to where he was stuck..LMFAO....so jumped the car again and got it pushing as the farm boy (who is about 7 foot 2) starts yelling at him GIVE IT GAS GIVE IT GAS..........wow

ever notice how the ***-hat that can't drive stick, always ends up in front of you, while stopped on a grade-no matter how slight the grade may be.

i just don't get it. i mean, if i could ease out the clutch in my Jimmy and get going, while on a 3 to 4% grade-without touching the throttle, why the hell can't you @ least do when you are using the throttle?!!


should be a driving test for both Winter driving & driving stick before you'ree allowed to drive in either one. (that being Winter or stick).
