(yea i got my just deserves for that)well on the way out im still hauling ***...i turn on to the road and kick it again.weeelll i didnt know this road as well as i thought i did and my front 2 tires were bald (newbie mistake) damn near taking a turn at 65+mph at about a 75deg angled road...it holds all of 3 sec...im off in the brush in the grass, branches are just rippin my car to shreds..or so i thought...i had my driverside window down and i got popped under my eye w/ a branch that flew in the WINDOW!! 
and then i heard this loud pop..there went the driverside mirror(didnt break the electrical wiring though..surpised)i then wipped it back on the road and was scared shitless...and was a/b ready to cry when i pulled into a parking lot and looked at the damage. 2 HUGE dents in the driverside quarter panel, driver mirror, and an *** of paint(pass. side was clean though

what can I say... 
by the almighty
I guess it's just that time of your life, if I had a z28 when I was your age, I'd probably be dead by now

I took my z28 and ran into the Home Depot outside gardening section(the gate). They were watering the plants and I thought it would be funny to drive by and slam on my brakes to scare a friend. My car didnt stop and I hydroplaned into the giant gate. Didnt really do as much damage as you would think. I sure looked like an idot though. Ive taken a turn and hammered it half way though resulting in my car going up a curb. These are all reasons a young teen should not have a sports car. Im 25 now and I cant believe all the stupid things I did in my camaro. But hey, you live and learn. Now im a pilot...LOL. Think about that next time you get into a plane.

You got lucky. My friend took a turn too fast and ended up spinning out.......with the back end going in to a telephone poll. His girlfreind was in the back seat, shatter both arms and broke a leg (lucky she was on the pass. side, or she would be dead), the passenger up front had a concussion and his head looked like a basketball, and the driver was just really shaken up, with a fractured wrist...

One time I was tryin to show off and took a 25mph corner pretty hot. The car was holdin fine but then comin outa the corner I figured I'd really impress someone and romp it and exit the corner sideways and shoot off. Well when I punched it the rear just bit and it pulled the weight off the front tires which caused instant understeer. I slid halfway off the road and when it shot back up on the road I was all outa shape, fished side to side about 3 or 4 times before it went sliding at a 90 degre angle to the road and slowly went off the road while it was sliding. Luckily there was no ditch and I went through someones yard and came to a stop perfectly in the middle of their driveway. Put her in reverse backed out and drove off. The only thing it did to my car was get a little bit of dirt on my front drivers side tires sidewall, Because it was acting like a plow when it went halfway off the pavement.

**** man, be careful. I pulled out chasing a 5.0 and floored it while turning right when it was a tiny, TINY bit slick and ended up doing a couple 360's and cracking my fender up against a light pole. These cars don't like turning too fast. Not something to be fucked around with. I'm definitely a little more careful with my car now. A second time? You wrecked twice already?

I haven't wrecked my WS6 yet "Knocks on wood". Unfortunately, I did wreck my old '99 Ram taking a turn too fast. The truck started to fishtail and instead of letting off of the gas, I pushed the gas pedal down further while correcting the fishtail, the truck then did a 180 degree spin into a curb!! Blew the front tire, bent the rear rim, damaged the rear axle and driverside drum brake, and broke off cement from the curb!!! That was the stupidest thing I have ever done!!!

Well I'll post up my dumbass story. About a month after I got the 2000 I past a two man road crew who upon hearing and seeing my car promptly gave me the motion to spin em. Deciding to give them a show I kicked off the tc and popped it half way down going roughly 15mph. The road was perfectly straight and I had already straightened out from a turn. However I forgot it was about 20 degrees out that day. My rear end immediately swung wide for the other lane, I corrected with the wheel sending the rear the other way. I proceeded to do this back and forth three or four times before I got it back under control. Needless to say my hands were white from squeezing the wheel, and I believe my corn hole may have torn a piece of my boxers out. The construction workers however viewed it as an awesome sight and gave me thumbs up that I could see in my rear view.
Since then I've been really careful about road conditions and applying power. Unfortunately I did get T-boned in an intersection, that however was nothing to do with control or knowledge of the vehicle, just an idiot driver error
