    I used to like driving my TD-25 Dozer to lunch when I was in the military. Most people did not know it had street pads on so I wouldn't damage the road so they were in shock. It was a blast.

    Raced a CASCAR Super Series stock car on a road course (kinda like the old Busch North series, but in Canada), and more recently an honest to goodness monster truck. THAT was FUN!

    I've drove a car through the Ohio river from Kentucky to Indiana and back.

    Always wanted to pilot a hot air balloon.

    I was abducted by aliens in 1969. I got to take their craft for a quick spin after the probing.

    Was it the XUGTI craft? Because I also took a ride on that one but my friends said it was too much of a craft for me to handle. They were right because we took 90° turns at the sixth dimension into the third. It was wild and I had no problems except now my right big toe is now my little toe and my little toe is my big toe. But I'd do it again.

    1961 Ford Impala with over 200K miles on it. Drank a quart of oil a week. One day I got the hair brained idea I should change the oil. Big mistake. After that the only way I could drive it was to roll down ALL the windows ALL the way so the smoke coming through the floorboards wouldn't kill me or cause me to be driving in an interior fog. Had to park it.

    Sold it for $100 to a guy that was REALLY excited to buy it.

    Apparently that model is really in demand...

    ... in the demolition derby.

    He won.
