Comment Corner: What's Your Craziest Car Story?

A few years back, I had a bad experience with a squirrel and an MR2 Turbo T-Bar...

We've all done and seen some seriously stupid shit in our cars over the years, which is why we're opening up a discussions thread to hear what crazy car stories you've got.

The reason I ask is because I saw a squirrel today that reminded of something that traumatised me a few years ago. Before I get started, let the record show that I'm now scared of grey squirrels: here's why...

During my time at uni I worked as a 'pizza delivery expert'. It was easy cash and yes, sometimes girls would answer the door in their underwear. Anyway, on one particular day (Tuesday if memory serves), I borrowed my colleague's Mk2 MR2 Turbo (260bhp) for one delivery while he took my old E36 328i Sport.

His car was the T-Bar model, so the roof was off and the pizza placed on the passenger seat. I was stuck in traffic at 4pm on a tree-lined road in Exeter, Devon. Suddenly, with an alarming thud there was a squirrel upside down in the passenger footwell - it had clearly fallen out of a tree after a failed suicide attempt. Either that, or Pepperoni Passion pizza is a tree rat's meal of choice...

After this aggressive little asshole righted itself, it then looked at me like I was in the wrong, sprayed the car full of pissy fear and raced out of the cabin using my arm and shoulder as its spring board. This all happened in around 2-3 seconds, but the car stank and I was trying to work out what the hell just happened. Squirrels don't fall out of trees, so did someone throw it in there? Unlikely.

I've accepted the fact that I'll never know why this happened and truly hope that this will be the craziest car story I have to tell for the rest of my life.

Now it's over to you guys - what's the craziest car story you have?
