And today it happened to me. That's right, I wrecked my first car. But for those those who have experienced the same, you know that doesn't quiet do the even justice. Let me add a little detail to the story.
This week is my graduating week, full of festivities to send us of f into the larger world. Today our school held a picnic to give us one last day with the entire senior class. After a day of fun and excitement, I head back across towns towards the school zones to get to my house.
It's 3' o clock, so all the buses are swarming around doing their duty, and unfortunately I get stuck behind one of the giant, yellow monsters. I'm in a good mood, so I'm not complaining as much as I normally would.
The bus pulls around the bend and stops at the railroad tracks as all bus drivers do, then continues past. I proceed to follow. At that moment I thought I saw something flash in my rear view mirror and then... BBBAMAMAMAMAMMM!!!
My car gets stuck under the bus and I'm left with smoke and dust from the air bags.
No one was hurt, in fact, the bus driver hadn't even noticed I had hit her until I came out waving my hands at her side door. I wasn't too startled, frightened, or mad. But after a while it starts to settle. I really liked that car. Now not only do I not get to drive to my own graduation, but all those memories made from my first car are gone, I'll never get to drive it again. There's now an empty space in my driveway where my car should be.
So after hearing my sob story, I kindly ask others to share their own. You may not have wrecked your first car, but just tell a small story or some memories of it. Everyone has some form of attachment to their first car, right?

i wrecked the shit outta mine. was reeeeeal ugly. thankfully no one was hurt but man that car got pwnd. i totally get what you mean about having memories about it. that car had a lot of my childhood with it tt

I wrecked my first car @ age 17. I've been a very good driver ever since. I NEVER take my eyes off the road. That 1 was my fault, yes, but since then I've had a perfect driving record and im 33.
Just use it as a learning experience
and... sorry for your loss

Yeh, since most people get their first car in high school, it's easy to build a lot of attachment and memories around it
I'm 17 as well, in fact my birthday is next Tuesday XD
I'm generally a VERY safe driver, it was just an unfortunate coincidence =\
But thanks for your condolences

I'm 17, I'm a fairly safe driver, not very very safe, but a competent one for sure and i've only ever been in 1 accident and it wasn't even my fault. Then again i'll give my self time to fuck up big time.

I have yet to wreck a single car. Even with my first having its brakes fail in the middle of an intersection while going about 80km an hour (50ish MPH)
Knock on wood I don't have to wreck a car at all at my own fault.

Had a big smash on the freeway when i was 20! Cost an arm and a leg to get it towed away too!
