ever pinch your parents car before you got your licence?

Never took my parents, but helped a few mates take their parents cars back in the day...

Anyways, yesterday arvo, out the front bringing in the bins and this kid across the road kept on stalling his car when trying to back up the hill (car infront). They asked me if i could back it up for them and said sure nps.

Get out of the car and watch them drive off - then got thinking, shit they were way too young to be driving, must have just stolen their mums or dads car.

So own up who pinched their parents cars for a midnight run and who crashed their parents car? images/smilies/mrgreen.gif

Some guy I went to school with (who was a total dickhead) wrote off his parents XR6 Turbo while they were away on holidays (on his P plates)

I've never done it because my parents cars are ghey.

I never did, wouldn't have even considered it. I had a friend, however, who made a habit of it. Before he had his license, would take his parents car out a couple of times a week. His parents never caught on, until the police showed up at his house after the neighbors tipped them off.

haha thats your parents...? or is this a big joke.. also thats a 300 and you called it a crossfire. If you actaully did that burn out and 150 mph run, well done images/smilies/lol.gif . I on the other hand never went cruising before I was of age then again in canada you only have to be 16 to be fully licenced so its not that long of a wait.

I did take my parents car many times before i got my license. My father knew about it and didnt mind. Until i was waiting to park and this moron, who just did get his license, hit me in front of my house. No damage to my moms car and a good bit of paint off his minivan. So my father who was mowing the lawn looks up and watches this guy try to speed away only to come to a stop and turn around then apologize. We then made him give us $300 saying we needed to paint the bumper. Never figured that i didnt have a license.

I never took my parents cars... mostly becuase they're all GM shits and I just loathe driving them... But several of my friends, including my girlfried, took their parents cars before they were licensed.

One of them wrecked her parents 1 week old Subaru Legacy GT. It was a perfect "I told you so" instance.

We were in the airport and my mom gave her key to me to go get the car from the parking lot, it was an SUV and I had little experience with big car, but I scratched the car a little by hitting another car. I got scared and just brought the car to her and didn't speak of it again (it doesn't really show, the color of the car hides it). 2 months later she noticed it, and assumed someone scratched her car with another car, I didn't corrected her.
