I feel like such an idiot!

Five0 · 05-12-2001, 11:02 PM

I went for a ride and accidentally turned my NOS switch on arming the system but the bottle wasn’t on so it was dumping much more fuel and no nos. I had a race with a highly moded turbo eclipse and my car fell on it's face.
I did not know what was wrong until I got home a noticed that my nitrous switch was armed.

At least you didn't hurt anyting on the car. Not so bad.

Once I was getting ready for my burnout at the track before staging and I forgot to put it in 1st, I started burning out in reverse!

**** happens.

Oh man, burning out in reverse! At the track! That would have to suck so bad! What did you do? Just keep it going or stop and get it into first? Oh that sucks so bad! Did anyone really notice?

I realised my mistake as soon as the car started to pull instead of push, I didn't ge to the point of wheel hop. I just stoped and put it back in 1st. I still looked like a complete moron but at least, most of the viewers didn't have a 13.6 car to run me so they can suck it and keep watching!

I don't advertise things like that INTIMD8.
