Me and a really close friend, gustavo or goose for short, spend a lot of time wasting time during the summer. we always had crazy ideas and things to try. well one time we were heading on the way back to his house and it was raining pretty bad. i decided to show him the cool new trick i learned after watching the fast and the furious.... drifting. i had a little 4 cylinder honda accord that was like 14 years old and ready to fall apart so i didn't really care if i wrecked it or not. anyway we have some fun drifting around and stuff for a while in my neighborhood until we had to get back to his house to meet curfew. well about 2 months later gustavo got a new car for his birthday. a used (but new to us) bmw. this thing was faster than anything we have driven and was a bunch of fun to zip around in and speed and what not with. well later on in the summer him and i were at the neighborhood pool with some friends and a huge thunderstorm hits us in the middle of the day. well goose had to get something from his house before we all went out later that night so he and 2 other guys (mason and rohan) leave the pool. of course you can guess what gustavo tries to do with his bmw. yes, he tries to drift. well here's what happened. rohan runs up to the pool about 10 minutes after they left and starts screaming "guys goose just wrecked his car! you have to see this, he is on top of the huge rocks in the front of the neighborhood!" well we all end up there to find his car balanced on top of a gigangic boulder with one wheel on the ground and the others in the air.

It never ceases to amaze me how many people try to recreate movie stunts. Thanks to people like Goose we'll probably start seeing disclaimers smack in the middle of movies!

Movie stars do it. Stunt people do it. I can do it. NOT! And my son wondered why Adam and Jamie always say on the DVDs "Don't try this at home." (My kids haven't.) Thanks, Mitch.
