The Most Stupid Things You've Done With A Car
1. Petrol in the eye and mouth...
“This week - when I was feeling a little bit ‘fragile’ - I spent 10 minutes loosening the bolt on my rear shock absorber, only to realise that I was tightening the hell out of it to the point of shearing!
“2 hours later - still feeling ‘fragile’ - I swapped out the fuel filter, and in the process poured petrol into my eye and mouth. Don’t do it - hurts like a mopho!”
- Alex Kersten
2. Gas all over the floor!
“I changed the fuel pump in my car, with a full tank of gas, in my friends garage. Three gallons of gas all over the floor”.
- Ben Van Deventer
3. Cleaning dad's car...with a rock
“I was 3 years old and decided to ‘wash’ my dad’s car…with a rock…all the way to the bare metal…”
- Edvin G
4. Tried to jump a car...
“I tried to jump a car over a steep hill. Turns out no one was smart enough to disconnect the airbags….”
- BMarmis
5. Locked myself in the boot
“Closed myself in my car’s boot…had to punch the rear shelf and jump over the seats to get out”.
- Aaron Dawson
6. Slammed the door...on myself
“I was getting into my mum’s car after having an argument with her and went to slam the door shut. Stupidly I hadn’t put my leg inside the car and slammed it onto my shin and broke it in 2 places”.
- Matt Thompson
7. Forgot I was in an auto...
“Forgot I was in an automatic, used my left foot on the brake thinking it was the clutch, I don’t have to say more, do I?”
- Boosted Doge
8. I washed my mom's car seats
“When I was a kid I had heard that my dad ‘washed his car seats’ so I decided to give a nice surprise to my mom and do the same thing to her car. Except I didn’t know how to do it so I used a garden hose and a LOT of water. She wasn’t that happy but a salesman at insurance company was impressed with my skills”.
- Konsta Laitinen

Why’s there a pic of a fuel filter for a fuel pump story?
As a child I engraved my name into the paint on my dads car, backwards. ‘Xela’
Alex. I like that name
I really miss the rollgolf
Hahaha not even near me. When I was two I turned the keys in the ignition of a manual and crashed it through the back of my garage and would have hit my dad if there wasn’t a big cycad in the way.
after several hard nights at work, I fell asleep at the wheel while coming home.
Destroyed my beloved RX8
You are lucky you didnt hurt yourself! Any injuries?

I fell asleep for a few seconds once in a rental in America when the time difference to Europe was a bit too much for me. Gladly I woke up just before hitting a guard rail.
I’ve done the same thing with an automatic car once… My friend put the gear in low/l/1st gear depending on which car u have… Anyway I took the car on to the road and accelerated like crazy… Then since it’s my natural response to change the gear at such a high rpm I took my foot to press the clutch but the brake pedal of the car was so long that it occupied part of the area where the clutch would be and it was 30KMPH or something to zero in 1 second!
Forgetting to take my car out of first when releasing the clutch when I’m parked always have to look around to make sure no one is looking it always happens when I’m running close on time to work
Worst one I’ve done was my mums car when I was about 15…opened the door to get in after school after a really bad day (a bit angry at this point) and hit myself just under my nose with the corner of the door…the door I opened with pretty much all the force I could manage.
Yeah that bruised a LOT.
One time I went around the bases in my camaro on a baseball field… I got arrested
I was at the corvette dealership and I got locked in a corvette zr-1. The battery died when I was inside and I kept knocking on the window. They changed the battery while I was inside and then I got out. (Corvettes have electronic buttons to open doors)
This is pretty good to imagine hahaha
