By far the best story I've ever read on SL...

...that involved someone doing something extremely stupid and then trying to turn it around and brag about it being awesome.

Way to go.

Dood, like the other day, there was this old woman crossing the parking lot at the grocery store. So I like totally floored it and ran right into her cart and freaked the crap out of her. Then I turned around and did burnouts in the parking lot. People all over were staring at me. Man they thought I was so cool.

I have th Typhoon too, I haven't been thru a puddle since.

I wish the guy would have cracked his bumper going thru the water tho....no MAJOR damage (engine, suspension...etc.) But enough to serve as a reminder.

One time at band camp I drove my AWD Subaru suspension'd tC out of an F16, did a triple backflip and stuck the landing right into a parking spot at school. >.> <.<

I did this with a humvee and set a sheet of mud water up about 10 feet into the air. It was a canvas top though, not a hard top... and it was torn. My ACUs (and my tc's) were soaked and brown.
