Most dumb thing / worst thing youve done to a car

[Adamal]

Its called increasing your power to weight ratio.

I suspect when my oil filler cap went walkabouts it was because I'd left it sitting on top of the engine at some point and forgotten to replace it before closing the bonnet and later starting the car

Oh yes, and taking my old S13 to PitStop Onehunga for a service. They cocked up the oil filter and put on one of the S14/S15 filters, which ended up with oil pissing out of my engine down the motorway and my engine almost dying.

Or just leaving the whole thing at the petrol station.

A while back I let a lady pull out in front of me coming out of a petrol station, she smiled and gave me a friendly wave, and I smiled back as I watched the petrol cap slide across her roof and fall onto the road.
