Trying to stay with my friends IROC camaro in high school, in none other then my mom's Saturn. Needless to say I slid right off the road down an embankment. Not a scratch to the car. Went to the closest bar(we were up in the mountains) bribe a guy $40 to use his truck and winch to pull the car up. All was good, not a scratch on the car . Then I started it and drove it home with the exhaust ripped in half, sounded like what ricers are doing to their cars on purpose.

Next day I begged my mom to drive it to school. She relented, and I had my buddy weld it up in auto shop. FREE and CLEAR, never got caught for that one, LOL!

Got in the car in my three car garage..... Opened the garage door with my remote......Started her up.....Goosed the throttle .......Let out the clutch....... Two seconds later my head slammed backwards as the car slammed into the front bumper ( a BIG OLD STEEL one) of a service truck that had parked on the driveway right behind my car.

I knew the service guy was in the house, I just didn't connect the dots- it was just one of those brain freezes. $4,500 in body and paint damage plus 3 years of higher insurance premiums. Yes, I am a dumbass.

I'll bet your mom knew.

Sometimes, as a parent, you just pretend not to know things, so you don't have to deal with it.

The lady across the way was reversing out of her garage and running late to pick up her kids after school just as a family friend was pulling (probably too quickly) into the driveway.
Wasn't even all the way out of her garage and WHAM!
Yeah, she rear-ended a car in her own driveway.
Try explaining that one to the fuzz and your insurance agent.
