Dumbest things you have done while DYT

I don’t really have any of my taco because I’ve learned my lesson.. (well, on road lessons. We will see about off road lol)

But years ago I missed an exit, and did not want to take the massive detour. So at 80mph I decided on a last minute sharp right turn into the exit I had missed. It was late at night, I’d say about midnight.. So, 1. Fortunately there weren’t any cars. 2. The exit went down, so I basically flew 4ft at 80mph on a 1990 Acura integra that was lowered to a very dumb 3in off the ground. Because it was such a low car, the front end hit first, followed by the front wheels, then the rest of the car landed.

Miraculously I didn’t hurt anyone, nor myself. But when I got home the front bumper was basically falling off. The front fenders were bent, and never realigned again. I think the whole car might of bent up a little to be honest. Still drove it for another year, that poor car was my first car and man did I do a lot of dumb shit at 17. I beat that car to death and sold it with a broken trans, cammed out with 300k miles.

I now drive at speed limit on the slow lane.

 

I was at a local kayak drop spot and got out the truck to throw something away and forgot to put the truck in park. Truck started slowly driving away so I had to hurry up and jump back in the truck and put it in park. I removed the speaker behind the gauge cluster so the truck wasn’t beeping at me to put it in park when I got out the truck.

 

I have fishing rod holders mounted to the bed rails in my Tacoma. At least once a season I’ve backed into the garage, having forgotten to remove the rods first.

Rods are still usable though, since they’re designed to bend. And because I’m lucky.
