Default Odd Car stories v.7even

Wanted to tell a odd story that happened.

Needed to buy a pressure guage to measure my compression, so I headed to Sears in search of one. I arrive to speak to a clerk about where to locate one. As he points in the direction, I spy a sexy hot mama walking my way.. damn she's fine. Anyway... I walk over to where he pointed and grabbed it off the shelf, just in time to see that sexy hot chica walking away. So I purchase the item and head out.
I get home to find myself ready to get some compression numbers. I start the process and find out all cylinders are good. Phew, 130k and still going strong. Anyway, I take the car for a drive down a few winding roads cause I have an hour before I gotta go to work and nothing else to do. I get on the main road and I notice the when im above 4k rpms, I can hear this tapping noise coming from my engine. It was very faint so I just thought it was a rock in the tires. Well I pulled over to still hear the tapping (better not be a midget with a hammer). I pop the hood to see the 4th cylinder's spark plug boot resting on the valve cover with a stream of blue electricity extending between them. I was hypnotized by the sparking and was watching it for about 5 minutes before I realized, hey what's that smell? Doh. The spark plug aint even in it either. :doh:

Post odd stories now

my friend was driving down a street behind two hispanics in a sentra. they are going kinda slowly and pull over to the side but immedieately pull back on the street. at this point my friend wasnt getting mad or anything and just continued to follow this beat up sentra...

so they approach this second intersection and the street that they are driving on so they have the right of way but the sentra decides to pull off to the side again like he is going to drop someone off at their house. so my friend had enuf of this shit and decides to pass them. he starts to go around and these guys gun the accelerator and so my friend tries to turn left to avoid them (now int he opposite lane) but they ram right into his passenger door pushing him across the street.

my friend pulls off to the left side of the street, the sentra makes a u-turn and speeds down one of the side streets.

so my friend gets out and there is the headlight housing, grill and all these parts off the sentra that they left, he picks up the grill and this woman comes up to him and asks if he has been an accident because there is a sentra just up the street and it looks beat to shit.

so my friend grabs the grill and starts walking to the wellsfargo bank (where they were supposedly parked). half way down the block, he sees them pull out of the lot and drive away.

so that is the story of my friend's hit and run that happened today.
it was a 02 accord also

My battery dismounted from being strapped down in the trunk, flew out of the trunk , ripping my ground wire out of crimped end, battery hits sparco passenger seat and I am left drifting without power down a hill.

Spirited driving :rick:

I was at home one night and outside I hear BAM!!! So I go to check it out and some drunk driver hit one the parked cars out in front of my neighbors house. Well the sum'biach did not stop but left the front bumper behind, with the license plate! :chuckles: So my neighbors and I gather up the pieces left behind and call the cops. No more than five minutes later, a pickup with four mexican dudes drives by 3 times and finally decides to stop and try to gather up all the evidence. (one of them was real quiet and couldn't stand up straight=hit-&-run candidate in my book) Anyways, we let them gather it all up and leave, rather than the situation turning sour, hell we wrote down the plate number anyways. We figure as fast as they got here they probably didn't go far and the cops could trace the plate.

Well the police showed up a couple minutes after these guys left and we gave them all the info we gathered. They ran the plate and it ends up being registered to some gal somewhere 40 miles away! Dammit, we should have got the plate number off the pickup .

Not sure if the police ever tracked this guy down. I hope so cause drunk drivers need to be flogged .

It wasn't reported stolen, maybe lent to somebody. Either way that mo-fo is a danger to the community.

I came outside to the sound of a car alarm; turns out my neighbor's Pontiac Bonneville had flames shooting around 25 ft out of it. Fire department arrived shortly thereafter; cause of the fire: spontaneous combustion/electrical short.
