Unhappy Not-thinking-ahead thread

So, for those that were at the cruise night in Yorkton I need say no more. For those who weren't, Umm, well, I kinda sandblasted (gravel-blasted) some very nice cars while lighting up leaving the parking lot with a BUNCH of people watching. I wish I could say it'll never happen again, but with my luck.......
My dad just sighed and said, "That luck just follows him around, kinda like me."
So there's mine, what's yours??????????

I`ve been there, done it many times and many lessons I have learned so I hear you loud and clear there Dave.
Too bad but it`s done and over with, so I would guess it`s time to move on.
Too bad the cars weren`t ricers with fart cans........

Not to worry, I'm over it. Just thought others might have stupid/humourous stories to share. I don't mind going first.

Your story Dave, reminds me of when i was younger, I had my grand prix out at a gravel pit bush party, and I was all hammered up, and started doing do nuts in the middle of where everyone was parked!

I had a few people mad at me that night for rock chipping their newer cars!
