Nothing major, When I was first learning to drive I misjudged the width of a driveway and clipped the front of dads truck with the back tire of a tractor. Also I learned one day on a steep hill that the clutch and the brake are not interchangeable. Could have had a nice new minivan for a hood ordament today. I was cutting cross a field trying to get home before I ran out of gas. Came out on the approach turning on the hiway Just as I did that a minivan came wizzing by at top speed.

One time before I had my licence I was backing my dads suburban out of the drive way so I could back it in to load some stuff up with when all of a sudden I look back and there is my brothers Oldsmobile moving sideways.. If I hadn't seen it I probably would have pushed it over the curb and in to the neighbors yard...
Creased the drivers side doors on the Old's but the suburban was fine..

My first wreck was last sat evening.... going back to my cabin on my 4 wheeler. 450 yamaha kodiak, I was going way too fast, and smoked a tree. I only did cosmetic damage to the atv, no frame of suspension damage, but my knee hit the rack on the right side. I stayed on the ATV, and my knee was the only body part damaged. I am going in for an MRI on friday. I have insurance on the Atv luckly enough.
Anyway, all thoughts and prayers would be appreciated since I have already had surgery on the same knee due to a football injury.
Thanks

you guys scare me, its almost like youre bragging.
My first accident wasnt a wreck, the closest thing Ive had to a wreck was in my dads ol beater 85 yota reg cab, shortbox. I was coming down the mountain on a logging road in 4wd rallying the whole way, started the slide too late, didnt power out hard enough caught traction and headed for the left side of the road. I had to crank the SOB back to the right so hard I spun 180 and hit the right side ditch sideways and it tipped onto its side then rolled onto its roof. Stopped the first truck we saw (45 min later) for a pull back onto all fours, put the jack-all between the roof and door sill to jack the roof back up so I could close my door for the drive home.
yeah we've all been 'tards....

17th birthday as well. I pulled out in front of a fully loaded cargo van in an 82 f100 with a straight six. Hit in the driver's side bed. Spun me completely around. I drove home, took the bed off, beat out the dent as best I could and then....
I chained one side of the frame to a telephone pole and another to my friend's dad's f350 diesel dually and YANKED! I drove her for four more years, then sold her to a buddy for $300, two years later he sold her at auction for another $300. To this day, she still runs and drives.

Touched up the scratches and the dent is still there. Guy I bought truck from owns a body shop and said just to touch it up and leave the dent or pull it.
