I've got one.
When I was 18ish, I bought my first car. Some old hulk of American pig iron. The water pump was leaking, speedometer didn't work, massive hole(s) in the exhaust system plus a myriad of other issues.
I bought it as I fixer-upper, a fun little project car. Didn't even have my full licence yet. (This was when I still enjoyed driving) First day I had it, a buddy from work came over. We spent some hours working on it, got the thing to stop pissing water all over the floor.
Got late, around 1am. Time for buddy head home. He comes up with an idea, "Hey, let's test out that water pump. While we're at it, why not give me a lift home?" Of course being 18, I naturally thought that was an excellent idea. Besides, what could possibly go wrong?
Now not having a licence, I can't register or insure a car. So I borrowed my mother's license plate. Filled up the radiator, and off we went on what should have been a 15 minute round trip.
About halfway to buddies house, I turn onto a yield lane. The f*ck? There is a police car just past the end of the lane, parked in the middle of the street. I start slowing down. Buddy says, "no, no, no. Change lanes, go around." Ok, worked.
I am officially crapping myself now.
200 feet or so down the same road, parked in a McDonald's facing the street, two more police cruisers, with cops in them watching over the street I am driving down. I have no idea how fast I'm going, I am the only car on the road, with a couple of burned out lights, making way too much noise, probably going the wrong speed with a stolen plate. I figured I was f*cked for sure.
The crap in my pants was crapping it's pants now.
Nope, nothing. I drove buddy home without incident.
Now it's the way back, I immediately got lost. (Yup. 10 f'ing minutes from my own f'ing house. I got lost.) I eventually got home. Had the windows rolled down and the heater cranked, as the engine was beginning to overheat (I am a lousy mechanic).
Put Mum's plate back on her car. Close the car door... Oh for f*cks sakes! I actually locked the f*cking keys in the car. An hour later, I finally got the keys out. 4am.
I have no idea why I got away with this. I shouldn't have. It was stupid of me. I would have found myself in serious legal trouble. Not proud of this at all. Never did it again.
I took the fact that I got away with it, as God's way of saying, "I gave you this one, don't push your luck."
