My son and I found ourselves in Las Vegas for a soccer tournament recently. It was the last club soccer tournament my son would play in as a youth player. He is a high school senior, and he is headed to college later this year. This is only relevant to set the tone for this…
The transmissions were now dead on the Nova and Oldsmobile. We managed to roll both cars downhill to a large, graveled clearing along the road (thank you, gravity). This would be our camping spot for the night. Beer in hand, we prepared for the stationary destruction phase. We had three broken down cars, the curiosity…
After doing my best Indiana Jones impression, it was my turn to drive. I hopped into the Oldsmobile 88 Royale. Compared to the little Nova, it was a tank. The dirt road we were on was wide enough to fit a logging truck with a bit of space on each side. It was close to…
It was my friend’s bachelor party, and we had just pulled onto an old logging road with a truck, an RV, and two and a half cars. Our plan was to find as many ways to abuse the cars as possible. The cars were destined for the junk yard. About a quarter mile up the…
Hungover or not, we had to check out of the hotel and head home. Our headcount showed two guys missing. We tried calling one of their cell phones, but there was no answer. The only plausible explanation (to us) was that they were dead or the got arrested. Assuming they weren’t dead, we worked on…
So, I was at a club for my bachelor party. I had just taken a spill on the dance floor, burning a hole in the knees trying to do a knee slide down a handicap ramp. In the meantime, a couple had snuck onto the dance floor while I wasn’t looking. I didn’t realize it…
Years ago, I went to Vancouver, British Columbia for my bachelor party. There were quite a few of us, so we took multiple cars to get there from Washington State. It’s been a while, but I believe there were five or six cars. I do recall riding in my friend’s red Jeep Cherokee. We were…
After buying the first car for my buddy’s bachelor party, we set out to find a second. Demolition derbies need at least two cars, after all. We found another car on Craigslist; an early 2000’s Chevy Lumina. This one was also in Tacoma…yay. It seemed that fate wanted us to take some Chevys off the…
Another friend was getting married, which meant another bachelor party. We gathered to brainstorm ideas for the bachelor party…over drinks. The bachelor said he wanted to do something that involved a car, and basically running one into the ground. It was simple and brilliant, and it was the seed for our next trip. Like unsupervised…
