Something you've done that 99.9% of TW members have not

Been there done that.

Came about an hour away from losing both feet to frostbite and had to be heli'd out. Still have no feeling in my feet.


Also got a concussion playing tennis.

My camera burnt up at the next fire.

Touched a 1.2 million dollar car.

Porsche speedster carrera

 

I got 2nd place in the Alcatraz Swim (without a wetsuit!).

 

I've done that in my own vehicle to mess with friends lol....it usually scares the hell of them

 

Now that's impressive!

Hell, I had to do that to almost every day in my old golf TDI. The tuning wasn't quite right and would go into limp mode if I didn't hit boost fast enough. 70mph, turn the key off, hold the wheel straight, and turn it back on. Good as new.

 

ive got that key too!

 

1. Ran a lap on the Indianapolis Speedway...literally ran.
2. Got air in a rental car in Ireland; right hand drive, M/T Alfa Romeo.
3. Drove a lap on the Nurburgring in Germany in a rented 3-series BMW, my laptime was...nothing to brag about. That was scary.
4. Got hit by a Ferrari on my bike when I was 8 or 9. No serious injury to me, or my bike. The driver was more worried about his car than me. I just rode away with the story.

 

I hope no one else has had the pleasure, been robbed at gun-point...

 

You my friend have had a interesting life.

Ugh... no but I did get grazed in the neck by a bullet in a drive by in 94 while working a traffic accident. We had a BAD gang problem during that time.

 

Growing up I had to learn to castrate hogs and shoe horses.
I got to ride in a boosted Ferrari (950 hp)

 

Riding in a Ferrari, that's pretty vanilla; however, castrating hogs... soo wee baby!

 

My step dads a farrier, I've pulled a shoe before, freaking hard haha.

 

The hardest part for me was getting the new one on good. When we would go trailriding, if my horse lost a shoe my dad would make me walk. I got pretty good at it. lol.

 

Oh I know shaping, hammering in the nails, and especially trimming are the hard parts. I wasn't about to try any of that quite yet haha.

 

My wife and I sat up top in a pit stop crew box at a NASCAR race at the New Hampshire Motor Speedway... during the race. (2008)

Being right there at the action and in the trailer and garage was a pretty cool experience.

 

Decided I was too lazy one day to drop my tailgate to get my mountain bike out of the bed…. tried to lift it over the side, front tire caught, bike slipped, and the front sprocket slid in front of my TRD Sport sticker on the driver side. My mistake, my fault completely. FAIL because my truck is Nautical Blue, and the biggest scratch shows down to the metal. Any suggestions for touch-up paint? It won't buff out.

 

Watched live as my Dad won $40,000 on The Big Spin in '87.

 

Tough one...

1) I've been winter camping with a buddy for a week in a snow cave heated by a candle lantern (by choice)
2) I've had a (glass) bottle of homemade soda detonate in my hand because we over carbonated it (whoopsies--10 stitches)
3) Caught a tip skiing and went face-first into a snow gun. Probably got a concussion out of it (double vision, splitting headache, etc), but being young, dumb and invincible I just kept skiing.
4) Spent six months living in a camp with no power or running water because it sounded like fun. It was a mile hike from where you parked, and I was working a regular 40-hour job an hour away at the time. Getting up at 4AM to bathe in the lake got old eventually, mostly because it was cold as hell. It woke you up in a hurry, though.


Shrug. Nothing earth-shattering, but there it is.
