Worst Forum Story Ever?

I guess its a poll but there are so many out there. My favorite is the one about the guy who "flushed" his engine with a garden hose (wanted to switch oils, drained, and flushed...) and let it idle till death do us shake.

There's that guy who tried to hone his cylinders (from an Audi forum?) by running sand through his intake and running motor.
http://www.audiforums.com/forum/off-topic-5/hey-guys-please-help-my-mods-gone-wrong-80267/

There's the jet fokking black Lexus guy.
http://my.is/forums/f87/crashed-my-baby-147582/

There's the GSX-R guy who ran two bottles of NOS energy drink through his fuel system, instead of NOS fuel injector cleaner.

The Ducati guys have that infamous watermelon guy story.
http://www.ducati.ms/forums/11-ducati-motorcycle-chat/22432-went-down-watermelon.html

Then there were funny stories like the college kid in AZ who moved his booted Audi into his garage using wheel dollies and then challenged the parking enforcement company to come get their boot back.
Couldn't find the link (looks like it might be down due to legal issues), but it was over on vwvortex. Google booted, Audi, and APS and you can find other links telling the synopsis. But to read the epic blow-by-blow was hysterical as it developed over several days.

One of the most memorable ones here was the "outing" of Normy on Gaviator.

I wonder what Bill is up to.

Gaviator.......lol.

There was the Civic guy that couldn't get his wheel locks off, and then proceeded to sawzall his wheel spokes.

Remember the NOS thread with the crotch rocket motorcycle?

The kid though the motorcycle would go faster if he put NOS in the tank - NOS energy drink...

There was the infamous "Wentzel" thread on Pirate 4x4.

Here--I liked the "gereator" and of course the all-time classic BAW

A guy on my Maxima forum apparently ran sand through his intake to "polish" it...

Yes, the NOS in the bike, armor all on the tires, slap-slap-slap that cratch, how about the cut my sack thread.

there have been others, but I can't remember them all. I've apparently missed the watermelon/ducati thread.

Some other forum that was linked here. Two guys building a turbo something. Did worse work than my 10 yr old. People were lapping it up (not here). Car did start. Blew up shortly thereafter. I think the whole engine bay was painted blue? Funny stuff.
