This was around 6 years ago when I was 18...A buddy of mine had a party and the next day another friend, who was responsible and didn't drive home, asked me if I could drop him off to get his car from that house. No problem, I was headed out with another friend to go up to golf galaxy, we would just drop him off on the way.

My car at the time was a '97 Ford Ranger...the absolutely most base model you could get. Bench with vinyl, no radio, no power steering, stick shift, single cab...ya know...base. This particular morning happened to be a very rainy one. So, 3 guys across the bench of a ranger down some back country roads. His car was parked in the field along side my friend's house where the party was at the corner of an intersection. This field is bigger than a football field just to give you an idea of just how dumb I was.

I approached the field at about 40mph saying the words "I just got new tires on this thing, let's Baja!!" The moment I hit the grass, I realized this was a massive mistake...I was headed straight for his car (a solid 300+ feet out in the field) with absolutely no way of getting this thing to slow down or turn because it was literally pouring rain. We all braced ourselves for the inevitable and slammed into the corner of his bumper. Caved in the trunk and shattered the bumper...luckily avoided damage to the rear 1/4 panel of his '02 Ford ZX2. Knew someone in the biz and got his car fixed for around 800 bucks...and my truck looked like it had hit a pole.

To this day, my parents still believe that I slid off the road in the rain and hit a brick entrance-way to a development.

Ironically...he has since been rear ended in that car 2 other times and had the bumper replaced both times. Still has that car today.
