Went to the Bank 3rd time I drove it! Pulled in tooooo- far heard the crunch of car hitting concrete. Got out very pissed off! Compounded it out still can see it if your looking. Only have put 200 miles on it so i have plenty of time to do some more stupid things

Had a minor fender bender in a parking lot. Pushed in the left bumper about 1/4 inch. Nothing big but it was when I was learning to see out the back with the top up. The dumb lady said didn't see me! Cop was like that bright red car?

#2- Sratched the bottom of the front nose 2 weeks after having it. Felt so dumb!! I didn't realize the curb parking distance at the time! A little touch paint later everything was golden

Let's see... 1st day I owned the black, nose into parking curb... then I hit my head on the window trying to get out as fast as possible to see the damage! Then, a few months later, rear ended the black into Ophie's van, which happened to be parked where it was not supposed to be. Took out a rear bumper, and cracked a rear fender. Then, ran over two truck tires on the Black Tie... it seems one was not good enough. So since the Orange was pristine, I had to rear end a palm tree next to the drive way. Took out the right rear fender... as in cracked in half. I cannot remember how many times I have had tho noses re painted.

The first week I had the car, I took it out to a friend's Chevy dealership. While I was there, it rained. When I left, the roads were wet, so wanting to show off I punched it pulling out of the driveway and ended up sideways in four lanes of traffic. Fortunately, I didn't hit anything.

Taking off the middle brake light my back leaning on the passenger side vendor, when I got up I put too much pressure from my butt and I cracked the rear vendor from the inside corner of the brake light to tunck. OUCH!!!! It's a pain in the *** to fix because that is the weak spot in the vendor.

The dumbest thing I've ever done in my Prowler is not drive it enough!

There were many a day this summer when I said to myself, "I better get home now, I've got things to do."

Now, several weeks later and dozens of degrees colder, I wish I had spent more time in the Kat while I could!

Road rage, ended up off road. Did a 180 at somewhere around 100 MPH. Could've died. No more chasing haters.

Ran over the prized hat belonging to Larry Lord, June of 2000, while on the Hot Rod Power Tour. The old hat took a hit at nearly 95 mph, and I've never heard the end of it!

1) Scraped the nose on a curb after 4 glorious scrape-free months.

2) Banged my head hard against the side view mirror while waxing the door. It hurt for a while!

Racing a BMW M5 on the outerbelt around the city, switched on the nitrous and hung on until the car hit the speed limiter at 134. STUPID (but I won)

Potentially dumbest thing was letting my 17 year old daughter have the kat for an entire weekned while I was out of town. She entered it in a two day car show and detailed the car better than I would have done. Weeks later when she hears me in a converstaion about the possible 0-60 MPH times with the notrous on says "Wow Dad, when we tried to time it from 0-60 we could only get it below 6 seconds twice" She never told me how many times they tried.

The first week I had it, the wife and I went to the Cheesecake Factory and used valet parking. The next day I noticed that whoever drove it hit a curb with my right rim & nose and tore them all up. I went back down to complain but they said they didn’t do it but offered me a free piece of cheesecake.. (stupid me, I didn’t even take the cheesecake)
I spent the next 4 hours with my dremmel (sp?) trying to get the rim back into shape and had to get the nose repainted....

Anyone have a silver rim for sale???

Probably the most stupid thing I have done was when I was working on my exhaust one day, I was holding the exhaust up with one hand and positioning it with the other. I wasn't paying attention and didn't realize that the exhaust was not being held on tight enough so that when I went to grab my wrench to tighten the clamps, the exhaust slid off, smacking me right in the temple and almost knocked me out.
