cars are fun when....

Those that know me, know that I am really looking forward to the new transformers movie. Optimus, Bumblebee, Hardtop, Ironhide... those guys made getting up for school in the morning a little easier, right up until it was replaced by the smurfs.

I started thinking about my cars, and all the stupid going ons that my cars have seen over the years. There was that time I got my little Subaru Leone up onto its two right hand wheels taking a corner a little too fast one night on the way home. That same time my 20 year old stock standard ugly grandpa car beat my friends brand new tricked up car in a race. There was also the time when it skidded over a roundabout and onto a front lawn, nearly ripping the front wheel right off. Oh, and all the times when the car just decides to not start for no reason.

But having said that, some of the best times of my life were in cars. Obviously, girls and cars are a great mix, but the most laughing I have ever done in a car was with boys.

One night, in my dodgy old car with headlights that would fall out if you drove over big bumps, and that had only one crackling speaker my friends and I turned the music up as high as we could manage, and started dancing in the car while we were driving home. Every dance move literally shook the car and made it move in the lane. We used the interior light as a disco light, and were dancing, singing and generally looking stupid when a carload of girls pulled up next to us at the lights, in a nice new car that had speakers that actually worked. Needless to say we looked stupid.

Another time I was driving some two 95kg twins home one night, when they went silent following an arguement. 2 minutes later my car shook on the road, and then when I looked to the back seat, one of the twins had turned the other twin upside down in a fight. His head was right down under the drivers seat, his feat in the air.

I wonder if I am allowed to mention the times we went 'McScurfing' where a friend held onto my car, and was then towed down the street on a McDonalds tray. When I was towing people I didn't like, I would drive faster and aim for the little reflective lights stuck in the centre of the road. Good times.

So anyways, at the risk of getting some rather scary and unsavoury stories, I am wondering, what is the most fun you have ever had in a car?
