About 10 years ago I was driving around with a friend of mine in his neighborhood. He lived in Illinois and I was visiting from Minnesota.
We were getting ready to leave his neighborhood and go out onto one of the major roads, but there were two cars right there in the middle of the intersection. Friends that felt it was necessary to catch up on everything. Well, usually when you see people do that and they see you coming, they wrap it up and move on. Not these, two though. I guess we didn't exist or something.
Anyway, I got really pissed after waiting there for what seemed like 5 minutes and jammed it in reverse and floored it. I smoked them up pretty good, but I startled my friend at the same time. He yelled something so I thought I was about to hit a person or something, so I kind of jumped and lost control. The car ran up the curb and hit a big tree, about 6" thick. There wasn't any damage to my car, other than the pile of buds that fell into it from the shock. The tree, however, had a big crack in it.
When the lady who owned the house came out, I told her that my accelerator got stuck and that her tree probably saved my life.
She bought it.
Anyway, that was about the stupidest thing I've ever done in my Mustang.
