Teens and small block 350s dont mix

Teens and small block 350s dont mix / what have you done that was stupid.

So yesterday my brother decided to show off and try to drift his truck in to an area two foot wider than his truck. Well he ended up putting it in to a centerbrick wall and destroyed his front and and caused 2 grand in damage.

wow gotta say,ive done stupid stuff but that pretty much takes the cake.

It's 'his' truck... Now if it was somebody else's truck I could agree with you. However I say live and learn, the lessons that hurt the worst teach the best.

Now if your parents are doing it right. He's going to get a job and pay for it or learn a little about budgeting and overtime at an existing job.

 

[Lil-Pony]

Yup, still dont know what to do with him, he is family, but sone times he just doesnt think things through, and this does take the cake in many aspects. May turn this in to a what have you done that was really stupid thread, yeah i will, so what have you....

 

[Lil-Pony]

Ohh believe me the parents arnt paying a dime and he have to pick up every extra shift at HEB (grocery store) to pay this one off. And it not really "his" truck he payed for part of the lift and tires, and for other accessories, but my grandma gave him the truck as a 16bday present,

A few months of walking to work and bummin' rides tends to cure crap like that...makes you learn to use the side of your brain that contains forward thinking...video games don't teach that.
I hit a country bridge at about 35 mph once back in the day...was all good, but we didn't notice the hump just before the bridge or the fact that the guardrail was old, rotted barnwood. That F100 jumped up straight and landed in the center of the old bridge just right...but we had to get out on the other side and change our drawers...made for a cold morning goin' commando in the duck blind.

At least he did not hurt anybody. That is what is important.

 

[Lil-Pony]

yah, it good he didint hurt any body, but he wasnt wearing his seat belt and if the steering wheel didnt catch him it could have been a lot worst.

the old trucks sure can take a beating. commando in a duck blind, that doesnt sound to good.

i hope this will teach him to use that other side of his brain.

Old trucks? It dont look that old...

Reminds me of the time my buddy tried to get air in a cavalier on a 2-lane farm road with a big bump in it. He ended off the side of the road, 10 feet into a wall of dead blackberry bushes. If he only went a few feet further, he woulda been into a farmers field. Other than a missing mirror, a flat tire, it was in decent shape - til we pulled it out. lol

pulling it out they were unable to get under the car at all, so they attached a shackle to a loop they found under the spare tire in the trunk. Well after turning the hole for the spare from an innie to an outtie, and then ripping the shackle right off, it caught on the trunk (which was closed) and pulled the car out. While ****ing up the latch in the process.

speaking of the f100, my brothers truck is a 92 gmc if you couldnt tell what the make of it was.

it sucks when recovery of a car causes more damage than putting it in the wrong place.

I was home sick one day and watched the teenaged neighbor come down the road a couple times with his 350 S-10 doing 270 deg turns and going backwards into his driveway. He did spend two Summesr with a NASCAR pit crew (UTI) and probably spent a lot of time out on the frozzen lakes having fun and learning how to do things like this.

Yeah, sometimes just screwing around in a reasonably safe area can teach you stuff that can be useful further down the line. During the winter I used to do low speed e-brake drifts in icy empty parking lots. I learned how to recover my FWD Altima when the rear-end started to kick out that way. Then one winter during a snowstorm I was coming off a hill from a friend's house when I started to slide at a 90 in the road. Had I not known to throttle out of it I would have probably slid off the road and down the steep 20 foot drop into a tree.

My brother also has always been the stupid one. Just the other day he destroyed his trans output shaft trying to jump a speedbump on his Jetta.

 

[FritzTKatt]

It's ok, it was a chevy. Now he has an opportunity to get a Ford.

 

[Lil-Pony]

Stop it with the hate, i mean it been a great truck, but i rather him have had a ford and not have done this to said ford.
Speaking of spining down highways, 2 stories
Both down on the coast,
My friend would rip the ebrake of this pos car they had while going down the highway at night while no one was out. They would practice high speed drifting.
Well one day in the middle of the afternoon on the way to austin or something an 18 wheeler lovked it brakes up for some thing and got it sideways. Causing all the cars to lock it up, well my friend drifted his truck though this 10 car pile up. Wasnt with him when it happened but wouldnt have wanted to been.
