Mine is still haunting me.

I went to a McDonalds drive thru and put my drink in the (IMHO) the worst cupholder ever made in my 97 Camaro. The first time I hit the brakes, the entire drink emptied onto the (automatic) shifter. Needless to say, it drained through the little plastic things that move when you put the car in drive. I cleaned it as best as possible but now they all stick together and when I put the car in gear, the whole console moves off the hump with the shifter. I have to hold it down or you get a good view of mechanical stuff under the shifter console. I think I need the entire center console now...not sure if it's worth it.

 

I left my car with my dad for 2 and a half years after he promised to do some engine work on it for me. When I finally got him to bring it back, he hadn't done any of the work he promised to do, and didn't even change the oil. 75 miles later, it spun a bearing and has sat in my driveway waiting to get a new engine ever since.

Edit: Just noticed this is in the 4th-gen section. Oops

 

When I first got the car, my old man convinced me somehow to put the stupid stick on hood scoops from advance auto on my car. Another reason why I bought the WS6 style hood for my Z.

 

^ thank god haha

Mine is similrar, dad convinced me ricer taillights looked good, bought em, used them for like 2 weeks got made fun of 1 time, now there in a box in the garage lol

 

Lmao bro you have no idea how much I was made fun of. I kept them on for about a month, ripped em off, got the double sided tape off the stock hood, and bought my WS6 hood.

 

I did the same thing with the drink in my 93. All I had to do was take the shifter **** off, pop off the shifter cover, and clean the moving parts. I'm not sure what the 97's looks like.

 

Something similar happened to me in my 94. Except I didn't brake and it spill all over, my gf decided to get fidgety and knock it over. The cup holder is too small to hold a sweet tea from wendys but the inside of my console loves to hold it.

 

With my first Camaro, I was going about 80 on the way to school on the country backroads. Came over a hill, and there were two cats right in front of me. I swerved, panic-braked, and lost control. Went through the ditch, flew about 30 feet, and landed on the roof. Rolled about 3 times. When I came to, my head was sticking out of the top of the car (it was a t-top) and the a-pillar was directly in front of my face. I should've been killed.

As much as that experience sucked, if it wasn't for that, I would never have had my Z28

 

lol my story is just like yours. but it was in my old firebird. my dad knocked over his coffee. it went every where

 

First time I decided to take a corner to hard (my fuel pump was messed up so my throttle kinda pulsed), flipped around back to the exit I came out of, swerved back the other direction inches from both curbs and ended up diagonal and backwards towards the opposite curb. I had to back up a little, and drive around two cars that slammed on there breaks to avoid me. Oh yeah, it was in medium-light traffic. My mom and her fiancee were in the car infront of me. She got out just to give me a death glare...still haunts me.
