Time for a fuel cell!!

 

That's like a Bugatti. Haha

 

Damn that sucks

 

I hit a pretty big rock last year and it popped my tire

 

That sucks, in more ways than one.
On one hand, you damaged your car and lost gas....

On the other, I was expecting a seriously badass video of epic tire-shreading Evo burnouts/shenanigans that somehow managed to empty your whole tank in five minutes

 

Looks like I might end up installing those tank guards I bought awhile back after all...

 

Rock? Where are you from that something that big and does that much damage is called a rock? That's a freaking boulder

 

One of my earliest memories as a child was my sister and I in the back seat, my mom was driving and my dad in the passenger seat. My mom saw a ball of snow in the middle of her lane and thought nothing of it so she drove right over it. Turned out to be a huge rock covered in snow and it ruptured the oil pan. The car had to be towed. That was the last time my mom ever drove with my dad in the car lol.

 

ouch!

 

that sucks....

 

LOL My snow-mom_never_driving_again-story is a 1+

This is the Reader's Digest version:
2wd Ford Explorer, trip from SoCal to SoOregon. Going up I5 in February, road closed for 4wd only. Cop assumed our Exploder was 4wd and let us go. Mom was driving, and borrowed chains from a friend, without testing them.

Stuck on the side of I5 in a blizzard putting chains on for the first time ever, and they were too big. Mom drives down the 8% grade about 200feet, chain slips off Right Rear and wraps around the axle, tire locks up. We go sliding for over 1.5miles down an 8% grade in near 0 visability, across all lanes of travel, with no control. All because my mom insisted that it was okay to go "because she borrowed chains".

To stay on topic, we did not go through all our gas in 5 miles, but in 1.5miles, all four of us lost our lunch and a little of our souls from fear.

 

That's crazy, very lucky. It could have been so much worse for you two.

 

Once a few years back I was driving a Jetta, ran over a rock in a parking lot. a little while later the oil light comes on. Pull into an auto parts store to get oil (it leaked) pour it in and puddle appears under car, cracked oil pan. Not wanting to have my car towed and repaired, I bought a can of brake cleaner, and that putty/epoxy stuff, that will repair metal. Let all of the oil leak out. sprayed it down with brake clearer, and slapped some putty on there. filled it back up with oil, drove home. Drove around for 2 more days to find a new oil pan and replaced it. But that epoxy stuff has found a home in my trunk from then on, never needed it again, but there is a tube of it in there.
