I used to e-brake slide my old Accord around every corner for a month or two, until I killed both my back tires. This was pretty stupid, but at least my parents paid for it "Gee, I wonder how the back tires went bald in a month. It's a true mystery."

I was driving too fast in the rain last christmas night and slid the DSM into a curb. Bent up my rx-7 wheels, bent the front left suspension, put a ding in my head that bled a lot but didn't do any lasting damage. Had to buy a parts car to get the parts; Still riding on the dang steelies and will be until I can get the wheels fixed and new tires in the next few months.

Drove my old Accord into a parked car on the side of the road one morning on the way to school. I was dead tired, running on three hours sleep as was my usual way, it was the coldest morning in several years and the windshield was frozen. I just stuck my head out and started driving. When my face froze I pulled it back inside and drove looking through the 4" crack of defrosted glass at the bottom of the windshield. I could see 60-70 feet and that would've worked if I hadn't been so tired that I got distracted by some kids on the side of the road, running into the parked car while still looking to the side. I was only going 30 mph but it was 2700 dollars damage to the Accord and totalled the other guy's Camry.

long story short...
i got REALLY pissed one night, and my g/f was riding w/ me in my sohc zc crx...going west on I-4...on the on-ramp at thonotosassa i took off, got up to about 120, semi comes into my lane ahead, barely made it between him and the guy in the left lane, angle was too sharp, ass end broke loose to the left, countersteered w/light gas (i've had to save fwd slides before), but it snapped back too fast and slid the other way (facing the right...slid across median @ ~110-115-ish sideways, then backward, went across all 3 lanes on eastbound side, and hit the wall...
thank God nobody was coming then, at 9pm on a friday night...
thats how i lost the crx
i only had a scratch and my girl was fine
talk about a hard-learned lesson
