Reply #19: Well, there was that time, [View All]

I went down a LARGE hill made of very sandy gravelly soil. on a 4-door Datsun sedan.

Looking for a friend that was camping somewhere in the area. I went to the top of the hill to get a good view, and rather than back up to get down, went down the other side of the hill where the rain had carved a deep narrow ditch into the hill. I figured if I could straddle the ditch, I could get down to the bottom...

I guessed wrong....

The side of the ditch crumbled and the car fell sideways into the ditch, driver side down.

There I was, in the middle of nowhere, with the car laying on it's side, INSIDE a ditch...

I climbed out to survey the damage, and after a few moments realized there would be nobody to rescue me.

I climbed back into the car, started it, put it in first gear, and DROVE the car down the ditch on it's side for about 100 feet.

The ditch flared open near the bottom of the hill and the car eventually climbed out of the ditch and fell back on all four wheels.

The driver's side was all bright and shiny; it looked like a De Lorean.

But the driver's side mirror was gone.

Boy, it was hard explaining that to my dad...


You did WHAT!!!!!
