Alright! It's time to drop your pride and tell us what happened to you or what you've done.
I thought if this because yesterday.. don't hate me.. I got stuck in mud and got pulled out by a Toyota.
Share some stuff with me so I don't feel alone!

went exploring alone and while going up a hill climb realized there was no room at the top and ended up locking my wheels in reverse going done, hit and scrapped by hatch and had to do a "K" turn on the hill. It was stupid and dangerous but thankfully nothing broke and touch up paint has fixed my hatch

One time I went wheeling with buddies and tried to hold my swaybar up with bungee cords when I disco'd it. It was going fine until I heard it fall underneath the axle. The only way to get it back above again was to flex each side and pull it up one by one. No problem.

I decided that since there were only trees around, I'd flex up one of the leaning ones to get my swaybar out. So I approach the tree and misjudge how much of my tire is on the tree. I give it a bit of gas and climb a small amount, only to have the tree split a bit, go between my tire and fender, and crush in my fender a bit.

I'm wasn't too angry since I thought, "Okay, I'll just find a new one. No problem." It's now been about six months since that incident and I still haven't found a Forest Green fender, since apparently they're rare. Oh well. It's not rusting and it doesn't look too bad, so I'm not too angry about it.

Here's a picture of how the fender looks currently:

I haven't had any really embarrassing moments yet. Which is embarrassing. I need to try harder.

Rescued a mistubishi something or other SUV from sticky mud at an offroad park. about 90 mins later...and about 20 mins before the place closed, got swamped and a ranger pulled me out. silver carpet is now dirt brown in most spots.
