This will either be a very short topic or very long. It will depend on how honest you are. Here is mine.

A couple of months ago I decided to take a 3 gallon plastic jug of used oil to recycle. I have been adding to this jug for about a year. It has sat out in the sun the whole time. I put it in the back of the bobcat in the hatch area. Because it was exposed to the weather it had become brittle. I hit a bump the jug shattered. I had 3 gallons of black oil flowing all over the back of my nicely restored bobcat. I had my daughter bring a shop vac out to my location. I sucked up as much oil as I could. I stripped the fabric off of the back seat. I rinsed it in Dawn dish soap for hours. I cut the sponge rubber into manageable size pieces and rinsed them out as well. Believe it or not, it all came clean. Now I will try to glue the sponge back together. I plan to use silicone caulk to do this job. Anyone have a better idea? So there you have it. stuuuuupid!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
So be honest. Let's hear yours.

You're lucky it was oil and you had Dawn. I had a battery, in a small cardboard box about the size of the battery. It flipped over even though it was behind the drivers seat on a floor mat. The carpet got soaked with acid. This car sfuff is a big learning curve.

i plead the 5th !!!

I did something differently stupid when I had a 1975 bobcat wagon back in 1987. I used to explore the dirt roads along high power line rights of way. I was heading down a hill and the front end bottomed out. Bent my lower lights back and bent the bottom of the radiator support backwards. Thankfully, the radiator or nothing else was damaged. I stayed to paved roads after that.

I took my moms old Pinto CW and drifted the back roads up where we lived in Apache Junction AZ lol. Lots of dirt roads to play on back then.

that sounds like a whole bunch of fun!

Back when my 78 Cruising Wagon was new and I was commuting to college I customized the interior of the car, using 1" diamond tufted red and silver velour, van lights in the back, all kinds of stuff. Then I had an aftermarket sunroof put in as well. One night I got home late from work and just set the glass sunroof on top of the car, but didn't latch it in place. Next morning before I got up my mother couldn't get her car to start to go to work, and took my Pinto. About a mile away from the house the wind just sucked the glass right off the roof and it shattered on the street behind her. That was bad. Then, because one bright idea is never enough, I had a window intended for the side of an Econoline van installed in the back of the Cruising Wagon roof, centered inside the rails of the roof luggage rack. When I replaced the old sunroof with a new one, I had a sunroof and a gigantic moonroof in my car. It looked cool and my girlfriend loved it. But I kept seeing drips in the rear view mirror because the thing leaked, not being meant for the roof of a wagon anyway. So I had to take it out, weld in a new piece of metal and paint it. Never again.

Matt,
You idea sounds like the inspiration behind the "Panoramic Vista Roof" I have in my 2012 Lincoln MKT.  Unfortunately, it leaks too!

I had a Glassback roof installed on my '07 Mustang & love it. I'd put one on my wagon if they made it.

Had my head through the rad support welding in the new motor mounts. Rod stuck so took the stinger off the rod. Lifted the helmet & wiggle the rod off & sort of falling backwards, the helmet got knocked down.....shovi ng the hot tip of the welding rod into my left eye. Lucky, got the eye lid closed in time. Just burned a line from below the eye brow to the eye lashes.
Rushed outside & put a handful of snow on it.
Very close call. Had me freaked for a couple days.
Did this last week....

Sounds like that one falls under - blessings I have received-  Glad to hear you came away from that one OK.

This is what I call a truckload.
 

 
40 landscape timbers, 6 bags of mulch, 3 gallons of stain & a partridge in a pear tree.

i see 41 landscape timbers in there! 

Luckily I only paid for 40    I counted those 10 times as I was loading them & still got it wrong lol. The 2nd load was 25 more timbers & 800 pounds(20 bags) of topsoil. It was heavier but didn't look as impressive. You won't catch me doing this once the car is finished.
