FaultyClockwork Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 I mixed up the gas and break for some reason, and floored it in reverse into the front of a parked car. The car was really old so it wasn't quite made to survive a crash like that, and I totaled it. And it belonged to the nice security guard at the bank near my house. :( Link to comment
Ceraziefish Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 YEAH, WAY TO GO FAULTY! YOU FUCK UP THAT OTHER CAR! GNRAAAA, FC STRONGEST ONE THERE IS Uh, in all seriousness, that sucks. ): Link to comment
FaultyClockwork Posted August 6, 2008 Author Share Posted August 6, 2008 Yeah, har har. I forgot to mention that I was driving my mom's BRAND NEW (as in, two day's old, literally) car. We have to replace the bumper and a muffler. :sad: Link to comment
Siendra Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 Good thing you're running to Montreal in a week or two, 'eh? Seriously though, mistakes happen, but ouch. Link to comment
FaultyClockwork Posted August 6, 2008 Author Share Posted August 6, 2008 Good thing you're running to Montreal in a week or two, 'eh? Seriously though, mistakes happen, but ouch. Yeah. I won't have to go to the bank for a while. ._. The guard and police officer were really nice about it, and so were a few other people from the guard's bank. I'm feeling a bit better now. It could have been way worse; no one was hurt. Still though, it shook me up. Link to comment
GummyBearOfDoom Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 That sucks dude, when I was practicing driving and backing into spots I did that a shit load. Luckily I did it in a church parking lot so no one was there. Link to comment
Ikari Warrior Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 Glad to hear no one was injured. I almost did that when I was learning to drive. I mixed up the gas and accelerator by accident and almost went full throttle into a parked van. Thankfully, I found the break and stopped, but still...scary shit. Link to comment
Ceraziefish Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 THIS IS WHY EVERYONE SHOULD USE MANUAL TRANSMISSION IF YOU GOT THE BRAKE AND ACCELERATOR MESSED UP, THE CAR WOULD JUST STALL AND NO ONE WOULD GET HURT. Case in point, I never hit another car whilst learning how to drive. Of course the first couple times I tried driving, I couldn't even get the car moving so yaaay. Link to comment
FaultyClockwork Posted August 7, 2008 Author Share Posted August 7, 2008 wait.. you didn't get in a car crash.. you caused a minor car accident.. very misleading title That wasn't a minor accident! I totaled someone's car! Fgt. Link to comment
Natsu Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 nice to know that you weren't hurt and fuck manual transmission cars. Link to comment
Ceraziefish Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 nice to know that you weren't hurt and fuck manual transmission cars. All I'm saying is, this would not have happened if FC was learning to drive on a manual transmission~ (despite all the other advantages stated by other AE members). Link to comment
FaultyClockwork Posted August 7, 2008 Author Share Posted August 7, 2008 So I should drive shitty old cars just to avoid backing up into people? :hardgay: Link to comment
Ceraziefish Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Shitty old cars? Plenty of new cars have stick shifts... EDIT: In fact, that reminds me of another advantage; manual transmissions are also cheaper than automatics (though that really only matters if you're buying a new car). EDIT EDIT: Also, they're more fuel efficient. Hoochiemania! Link to comment
FaultyClockwork Posted August 7, 2008 Author Share Posted August 7, 2008 Yeah? Well, your face costs less than an automatic transmission. iceburn.jpg Link to comment
GummyBearOfDoom Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Rule 34 automatic transmission Link to comment
FaultyClockwork Posted August 7, 2008 Author Share Posted August 7, 2008 I can't R34 that, but I can do lunch. Link to comment
Natsu Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Yeah? Well, your face costs less than an automatic transmission. haha quoted. Link to comment
FaultyClockwork Posted August 8, 2008 Author Share Posted August 8, 2008 haha quoted. Damn, I'm in two sigs at once right now. Bitchin'! :headbang: Link to comment
Svenska Aeroplan Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Massive driving fail. Also, older cars and manual transmission FTW. Link to comment
