Bro...
You took what should have been a stupid shit-post and turned it into a full-on feels moment. I feel like an ass.
Hope you're doing well.

You didn't qualify what kind of dumbest! I don't do a lot of dumb shit, I live dumb shit... so the bar is infinitely higher for me.
Maybe I'll post a video of the drive to breakfast tomorrow in dad's new toy. Smart money says I'm going to stop modifying my VW and buy a project car to try to hang. That will potentially be the dumbest thing I'll ever do.

31 years in the military, 15 years with a defense contractor, three wives. I put country and duty first, neglected my family. In the end the military industrial complex is a cold bitch and feeds on bodies, doesn't care about your soul. At 71 I have made peace with that, btw I spend a lot of my energy as an anti war protester.

I'm going to plead the 5th on this thread.

Sheesh - you guys are all depressing....
I tried to bring home a 3 ton, 22' long 1962 Cadillac Hearse with a little u-haul trailer, and a 1/2 ton truck (long story why.)
The hearse was so long, that the back wheels wouldn't fit on the trailer. I put some blocks under the frame and let the back end hang way off.
Over some hilly terrain, on the first downhill, the truck and trailer started fishtailing (bad). I had to steer back and forth, left to right, lock to lock, to keep from going down long embankment (autocross skills for the win.) The trailer had surge brakes, so hitting the brakes would have made things worse.
Once I got it slowed down, I turned around, and slowly drove back to the small town where I bought it. I had to pay someone to keep it for a week, until I could come back with an appropriate setup to get it home.
Here it is, being unloaded from the Penske truck I rented the next week.

That's a felony in some states
Now, onto dumbest thing:
Drifting my old B2600 with someone in the bed. Lucky for my Dumas and him, no one, namely him was injured.
