Stupid things you did when you were young thread

So, I was 17 and had just traded my 77 Olds Cutlass Salon for a 70 Ranchero with a 351C...

The Ranchero was a LOT faster than my Olds was, so I was instantly propelled into True motor head status at my high school. One day, I was changing the oil...I had just dropped all of the oil out of the car, replaced the plug and had changed the filter and put the new filter in the car.

A couple of "Car Guy" buddies stopped by and wanted to check out my new ride...It had holes in the glasspacks, so it was fairly loud. I proudly sat in the drivers seat and fired it up. It sounded great, but had a strange ticking sound. I let it idle for about 30 seconds or so before the sinking feeling came over me that I had not put any oil back into it. I quickly shut it off, and acted like nothing had happened.

My buddies left and I quickly poured oil in the car (Hoping that would help)...and then fired it up. It ran as it always had...so I did not hurt anything that was not already hurt.

I wrecked that car while racing my buddies girlfriend in her 68 Firebird...more on that later. Yes, I won, but had to "rub it in" and win...a LOT. I will save that for another thread.

Thanks,
