ITT, We tell road stories

ITT = In this thread.

Tell any funny road stories you have. Again, keep comments to a minimum (you guys suck at this).

Here's mine, not the greatest, but we couldn't stop laughing for days:
Friday night rolls around. Me and a friend make our weekly run to 7-11 on the other side of town to cruise. We come back, after not seeing anything cool. We come back, and another friend has showed up. We decide to give it another go and we all go to 7-11 again. My friend wanted to drive my car since he doesn't get to drive manuals. While the other guy runs in to get his slurpee, we switch drivers, and I'm in the drivers seat again. A black Stratus pulls up, sitting on chrome, heavily tinted. Three or four skinny white guys come out, their faces covered in acne, wearing big black coats, and letting their ice hang out. Now my Honda was a pretty ricey car. The lights were the blueish 'ultra white' stuff, and i had clear corners. The worst part was I had spinners. Me and my friend were banging the system. So these kids are staring at my car the whole time my other friend is getting his drink. He comes back. I rev the engine and whip out of the parking spot. I look over to the other side of the car, and BAM, a cop is staring me dead in the eyes. Incredibly awkward. I have to pull the ebrake and let the car sit there for a few seconds while I fall over on the steering wheel laughing, the cop is still watching. I regain my attention, and slowly leave. The cop never cared about us, I think he was after those kids.

I got off the highway one night on the exit to my apartment. There were two left turn lanes and a guy in an old Camaro pulls beside me and starts reving his engine so I rev my little 4 banger back and laugh. He would then pull forward a bit and push the clutch and drift back, let out the clutch and pull forward again. He drifted back and the light turned green so I took off and looked back and saw the lights dim as he restarted his engine, he had started to let out the clutch to pull forward again and must have seen the light change and popped the clutch stalling the engine.

On night me and some of my friends were out having fun
and a one of are friends we knew had a brand new car
and worked at a pizza shop - we hung out with him
to get free pizza - he was a big fat jerk tho - we waited
for him to get off from work to get a free pizza - and he wanted
to race - My car is big and old, and over a 100,000 miles and its
only a 3.1L V6 - he has a new car same size motor - smaller car
- So I knew I was going to get beat - Then I looked at his dash
it said 85MPH - and Mine goes to 120MPH and really does it
and more - I was hoping it had governor -

We race, he smokes my *** at first - then I speed up to 100mph
he starts to fall back a little - then I go up to 120mph - I see him
coming up fast and catch me, then slow down, then speed up,
then slow down, My friend gets the idea - throw the pizza at him
when he comes up beside me - I see him closer and closer
and splat we threw pizza - he all most goes off the road
and falls behind - priceless - I did lose but I got revenge

He was ****ed he said it dried on his car and took a hour
to remove at the carwash

Later he got me back in a way - we were paint balling
we only shoot at signs and trash cans and stuff ,not people -
we were driving and shooting at each others cars and he
shot the glass out of my side mirror

I was on a 4 lane road going out to meet this girls father, we were going to go on a date. well at the time i didn't have my license or my car so i'm driving my mom's 95 ford windstar. i pull up next to this viper at a stop light and put the car into neutral and rev my engine, just for kicks, he obviously beats me and i doubt he was trying, and once i got to her house i saw the car in her driveway, it ended up being her dad. he didn't recognize me, but it made me laugh.

Well aren't you guys boring. I'll share a really short one to keep this thread from dropping off.

Back in October I was doing chinese food deliveries. It was the peak hours for delivery, so I'd run up to the back door, grab the new stuff, and run right back out. Well it was one of those days for me. I was tired, and just not thinking right. Around this time I had just been working too much. Going to school for 3 hours a day, plus 40 hours of work that I really didn't want to do. I had been getting lazy. Sometimes I'd forget to leave the car in gear, some times I'd forget the e-brake. One time I had pulled up to grab a delivery, and forgot both. I hop out, walk in the door (and thankfully I leave it open), and start talking to my boss. As I'm talking to my boss, his wife comes walking up and shouts "Ben! Your car!" I look out the window, and sure enough, it's strolling out into the middle of the home depot parking lot. Now, I start to run out to go save it before something happens, and it being one of those days and one of those months, I had forgot to put my belt on. Us kids love to wear baggy pants. I'm chasing after my car, trying to hold my pants up, and I have some papers that I had no time to drop in my hand. Was a hilarious sight. My boss, who is an incredibly serious and unsocial man, was even laughing.

Maybe you have to be drunk to get this one?
