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

This sums up every fail on the list
Reading all these things like:
The only “weird“ thing I did was kissing a car and putting ice and snow in the exhaust of a Golf 6 R. This was the result next day: (he only made those smoke rings and we forgot to get the camera:( )
That could be one hell of a show. Vaping Cars!
I have an essay coming on mine in the next week or so…
It’s a peach that can’t be explained in a paragraph.
Tried to fit myself in the boot of a 911 on the press day of Brussels Motorshow (with the consent of Porsche). Heard the next day on the news that they had to stop people doing this on public day at Aston Martin. Laughed so hard 😂😂😇
I once left the keys in the ignition of an old Dacia,lock all the doors,but one,then I got out and slammed it,and couldn`t open it anymore. -> Keys locked in the car
Good News
WORST THING I DID WAS SELLING IT
Please, when I was little my dad gave me the keys to our brand new VW Passat, it was the first car we had with a key to unlock the car from far away and it also had that feature where you could unlock just the boot, I used the latter feature, proceeded to lock the car keys inside along with our keys to our house where the backup one was fast forward to 4 am we have a locksmith breaking into our house just ot get us the backup key.
That rock on a car thing actually exists, in Sydney.
A coil spring almost knocked my brain into orbit when I was swapping shocks and springs on my subaru.
It seemed loose and the bottom of the coil had broken off, so I took off the top nut without using the spring compressors thinking it wasnt any tension in this one. I whacked on the damn thing with a hammer to remove some corrosion or dirt or something and it flew off past my face and landed on my foot. Damn was I lucky the thing must of have went 7+ feet into the air.
Safety first and dont be an idiot like me, dont take shortcuts.
Point 5: can’t lock myself in my trunk, i drive a e87 =P
Battery is in trunk and from outside its electronic, so you need to get inside the car from the front to open the back to change battery x)
