What's something foolish you've done?

Drag racing at night on a narrow street. I was about 18.
We were about 6 people in 4 cars. Not nice cars. Not fast cars. Just our used old cars. One car (Julian's) was severely handicapped, "speeding" along on just 3 of its 4 cylinders. (It's debatable if there was any real racing going on that night!) We lined up 2 cars at a time at one end of the street and had a third car at the opposite end marking the finish line with headlights.
The consistent winner, Russell in his mom's red Chrysler LeBaron convertible, was crushing the competition in style. Then the cops showed up. Apparently they were tipped off by frightened residents. Somehow the officers decided we weren't worth their time. We weren't drinking, we were barely "racing", and I think we seemed fairly harmless. We certainly were't the hard-core drunk driving, speed racing, up-to-no-good kids they were expecting to find. And, shockingly were just told to drive home and stop being stupid.

They're so many! But I will share one, it was our Filipino period in the morning, I was so mad about our adviser because she can't stop nagging at us. What I did was I drew her face on my lecture ntbk and share it to my seatmates. I even signed my name below it. Hehehehe >:D<

Officer: "Your eyes look a little red."
Russel: "Maybe it's because your lights are shining in my eyes, Officer."

Your V6 dominated over '88 Mazda 626 V4, Alex's little Jetta, and Julian's '89 Mazda Protege with missing cylinder connector.
