too many ... this one time in my izuzu trooper I hit this little jump over a curb into a down slope and figured id just go throw a fat grass run, but to my dismay the sprinklers were on and the grass was flooded and I hit it prob goin like 35-40 which i though was slow enough, ended up landing then like a joke hit my brakes and attempted to turn  which wouldnt work becuz i was now hydroplaning on an inch of water. Car ended up sliding honestly like 100 feet into a fatty tree breaking my windsheld and mangling the front of my car. Put it in 4 BY and bounced ... LONG LIVE GRASS RUNS AND BEING 16

I learned to drive in a public parking lot. My dad took me out in a big old Ford F-250 and had me practice three-point turns, navigating over and through the cinderblocks, and reversing in and out of parking spots. His logic was that if I could learn to perform those maneuvers in a great big truck, then I could do them any time in any other vehicle.

And he was right. I can drive great big trucks, AND little sport cars. It was a good lesson.
