Car Nightmare.......Ugly Meets Speed

[crackboy]

Nothing quite so scary as coming down a hill to a stop sign and the coefficient of friction is nill. We do have a lot better public works equipment to get after it now a days, but still happens sometimes.

It was my first winter in Minnesota with my old Corolla.
As I was leaving the gym parking lot slight downhill approached and I broke to find out my brake pedal was stuck.
I panicked and stepped on numerous time to eventually pump it through.
Next day my Minnesotan co-workers acted like "Oh, you didn't know how to pump your frozen brake line before start driving?".
You know...
That was not normal after 8 (not real) winters in Texas.

At a lunch place I frequent there was a Bentley GT parked taking up two spots right in front of the restaurant. Not way out where nobody cares, but right in front in a very busy lot at lunch time. So I am chatting with the owner about what assholes people can be when a beater Toyota pulls up and squeezes into the remaining spot two inches from the Bentley's driver side door, and just walks away. It was classic, unfortunately I wasn't around when the Bentley drive returned, but it must have been great.

Nope.
He's not pulling out.

I parked a little Renault near a restaurant in some little village in France. When I got back it was in a different (adjacent) spot. No sign of damage or skid marks (parking brake was set).

Parked my old FJ55 next to a snowbank, afternoon warmed up a lot while I was skiing then went drinking and it got dark and cold. I got in to go home around 9pm and didn't think to look at the passenger side closest to the snowbank. Let the clutch out and it didn't go anywhere and I still didn't think to look so revved it up just a bit and popped the clutch and it started moving. All good right? No. Both tires spun off the wheels and stayed frozen to the ground The truck had sunk about 6" into the slush and then it froze hard. I spent hours with a torch melting that shit out so I could get it towed so they could plow the lot that night. Sukked

Heheh. I did this too in college. Pushed some crapcan that was fully on my Pathfinder's chrome rear bumper and hanging out into traffic in the intersection behind it.

Did this once myself. Came out of the wetlands music venue I'm NYC and some asshole was right on the bumper of my Jeep. Pushed that fucking thing clear up full onto the sidewalk and left. Thank God this was way before there were cameras everywhere. But yeah good times.

This is a horror story...

This is what happens when you park like an idiot at REI apparently.

That happens to me at Kirkwood last year only it was a cracked rim. I though the bead broke but unfortunately needed new rim and tires.

this is a great site^^ lots of pictures of my people coming to Canada and learning to park

Richmond BC is > 50% AZN many of my people have never driven a car when they get here but they have all this laundered money from china so they buy a nice car and park it IN the 7-11

Skidog - I think I know whose car you pushed. A guy I know got a HUGE ticket for parking his car on the sidewalk one night about a block from Wetlands. He swore he didn't actually leave it there but it's kinda hard to argue that you didn't when your car is across the sidewalk backed up to a building.

Hah - I saw this happen at Meadows about 10 years ago. 'cept it was a sunny day in early spring and an old pickup - 'yota IIRC.

It was parked next to me in the early AM but when I came back at 2pm it was two rows back and up against another vehicle's bumper. The lot started the day as an ice sheet, and sun caused the ice underneath the pickup to break off from the main sheet and started sliding down the lot like an iceflow with truck on top.
