Ha! What an idiot!

Now confession time - what's the dumbest thing you've ever done with your VW? I've got a couple...

I'd had my first Beetle 13 days. Driving along with some friends, probably not paying much attention to the weather conditions, hit black ice and stuck the car in a wrought iron fence... bent the beam and both front wings.

The same Beetle, a couple of months later. Parked outside a friends house, across his neighbours driveway. Went to back the car up,  checking the door mirror for the car behind,  didn't see the lamp post at the other side - bent the bumper and wing!
