Time to order up a new batch of Darwin awards.

That's one of the stupidest things I've seen, (and yes, I have seen someone do it before.) The downside is that you're are leaving a running car open for anyone. For example, my brother once forwarded me a video of some kids trying to ghost their car, and when the kid left the car, someone off the street got into the car and drove off with it. That must've been a kick in the teeth.

Every generation believes that people of it's time are the stupidest and most inept-ever and that this bunch will take us all down for good.
Now that I'm old I see that there is infinite room for infinitely more stupidity. There are still plenty of chickens around, right?

Put the "wreck" back in reckless...

Ghost riding on a railroad crossing in front of an oncoming train!

Because something on the ground needs flattening, obviously!

I can understand the desire to live dangerously. I've gotten off my garden tractor while it was still running and in gear. What a rush!

As told to me by someone in the Air Force with a Freefall Badge, "There's no such thing as a perfectly good airplane!"

AI698,

After 8 months of straight MRE's while deployed to Iraq (2003-2004), I got a little sick just looking at your avatar.

I can change up the menu, if you like.

I only have to eat them once or twice a week.

Someone needs to convince these idiots that leaving the car in neutral is for wimps. Try it in 4th with a brick on the accelerator--that's really daring!

Who knows? It might be just the thing to top off a hard day of robo-tripping...

Wasn't that stunt shown in a movie, oh, about 40 years ago?

(Film score by Jerry Goldsmith, BTW)

I bungee jumped 275 feet into Skipper Canyon. One time got that out of my system. I have a special place in my heart for crazy people but I think killing yourself by doing something stupid is an inherent right and part of the American dream.
I hate to see laws passed that try to stop idiots from self-destructing. These types breed like RATS.

But the problem for the rest of society is that when they do not quite kill themselves, they are in tax funded health care for the rest of their lives... and I have to pay for that!

Isn't this phenomenon what some refer to as 'natural selection'?. Word is around here is that a Kentuckians' final words are something like "hey, y'all... watch this!".

Naw, it's more like "Here, hold my beer. Hey y'all, watch this!"

What makes you think he doesn't already!?

Plus, with all those gears, you need Wayne's long arms to reach inside from the ground...

In my case, it was to impress a girl.

Ken F.

What about ghost riding an airplane? Now, that takes skill. And that bedsheet.

The song is already there, Ghost Riders in the Sky.
