How about trying to drive over an almost-entirely (but not quite!) crusted-over pile of snow with my old crappy Continental street tires in the parking lot at work. Everything was fine for 80% of the way across, but then one front tire punched through. Then the other punched through. Then the back wheel, spinning in place, burned through. I was S-T-U-C-K.

At least it was a holiday and there were only 5-10 people around that even had a chance to notice it, and the tow truck got there in about 10 minutes. No risk to the VX, but VERY HIGH risk of getting my stones busted about it on a daily basis for the next 6 months! Only one person figured out that I was not just action-parking on the snow, but he was sworn to secrecy!

Seeing as I just picked up Zooper Trooper's S/C, I should have some more stories of dumb things I've done in the next few months. :-)
