After I bashed into some boulders, flew through the air, and then landed back in the road, I discovered I no longer had a left front wheel and the right rear was looking a little rough.  However, as you can see from the second picture, one week later she was up and running like a champ. Junk Jap cars anyway!</div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="3ca36cf0.jpg" border=0 width="310" height="207" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"><IMG SRC="3c840cf0.jpg" border=0 width="320" height="207" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> <IMG SRC="3cc76a80.jpg" border=0 width="630" height="424" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>Nick Parisi- 4 NDB's total, 3 last spring alone.</B>  </div> <div> First was my Trans Am wreck, that POS just wasn't contollable.  Or something.  . .Second was the Mazada explosion.  Third was the untimely flipping of the mail jeep, and fourth was a golf cart slide right into the back of the poor ethanol truck.  Wet concrete + slicks = OOPS!</div> <bR> <div> <B>Travis Slagle- 3 NDBs.</B></div> <div> Travis decided to do his best Coy Duke imitation with one of Kettering's school Grand Prix.  After a quite unbelieveable 45 ft of distance over the roughest road in america, he cracked the transmission, mangled the oil pan, and displaced the motor in it's mounts.  Other details are sketchy, we do know he had to pay the $500 insureance deductible and is no longer allowed to drive school vehicles!  #2 is the debacle pictured above, and #3 is as follows, from Paul Bahna, aka our 'Eye (liquor) in the Ghetto':</div> <bR> <div> <I><B>Word on da skreet..</B></I></div> <div> has it that Travis "Coy Duke, not Bo" Slagle had a little mishap involving his truck. My question is, does he get an NDB for backing his truck into a 2001 Grand Ma? What about the fact that he was in our house at the time of the accident? Apparently, he parked the truck without leaving it in gear and the truck ghost-rode backwards down the skreet towards the ghetto. He exits our house, surprised to find his truck missing from the driveway and even more surprised that his truck 'backed that ass up' into a parked grand am about halfway down the block. Grand am: $2700 in damage. Only damage reported to the Ford: dented tailgate and chunk of bondo flew off.</div> <bR> <div> <I><B>My repsonse</B></I></div> <div> Although it wasn't technically 'driving', neglect and/or incompetence on the part of the owner caused this incident, so I'm inclined to award an NDB to Travis for the events that just transpired. That puts Travis in a 4 way tie for 2nd place with 3 NDBs, shared with Ed, Paul and Marty. I'm still leading with 4.</div> <bR> <div> <B>Mark Kleckner- 2 NDBs.</B></div> <div> Just recently took out a stop sign during an autox in Flint Michigan with the fabled T-Bird.  Unfortuantely the damage was done with the driver's side door, so it's gonna be a biotch to fix.  Unless bondo is used. . . . .which it was.  Also recieves an NDB for taking out his 10 bolt at Silver Lake...too bad that particular jump wasn't on film.</div> <bR> <div> <B> Paul Bahna- 3 NDB's total, all two years ago.</B></div> <div> His first NDB was also in a golf cart, except the cart was a rental.  He backed that azz up right into a pole.  Second NDB award came with a Jimmy Spencer style wreck right into a fence with his Corolla.  However, the Corolla and Paul escaped with little more than bruised pride.  Lastly was a rather hilarious rollover with the BAJA student vehicle.</div> <bR> <div> <B>Jimmy Hendricks- 2 NDB's</B></div> <div> First NDB worth mentioning was caused by a misc. U-turn in front of Paul and the Corolla, leading to 2k worth of damage.  Other is an  accident over this past work term, apparently the driver in front of him didn't warm up her brake lights for 20 min, leading to the driver getting rear-ended by the NFS.</div> <bR> <div> <B>Jeff Hribar- 1 NDB.</B></div> <div> Thinking his 2000 Chevy Silverado was a submarine, Jeff piloted his poor truck into a massively deep mudhole.  Water, by most accounts, was up to the seats, and everything including his headliner came out wet.</div> <bR> <div> <B>DJ Carter- 1 NDB</B></div> <div> After frequenting one of many watering holes around campus (Rube's), DJ hops in his Cherokee and proceeds to do a big ol smoky burnout, like we have all been instructed to do.  However, he was right in front of two Flint police officers, who didn't find this drunken display of vehicle abuse funny.  He got away with a warning!</div> <bR> <div> <B>Ed Heil- 3 NDB's</B>.</div> <div> Not really worth mentioning, he tried to run over a skunk on the golf cart and ended up getting sprayed.   The garage smelled for a week.  There was an incedent up at Silver Lake, whereby Ed decides to take a sand hill at full bore in his truck.  Well, he had the momentum, but his front bumper smacked the sand and stopped the 5600 pound behemoth in it's tracks.  The result?  His new bumper was now at a 45* angle to the ground.  Not to be outdone, he tried it again later in the day,  with the same results.  The last was a result of screwing around in a Kessel parking lot in the winter, a boulder decided to smack itself against the front suspension of his F150, leading to masssive frame damage.</div> <bR> <div> <B>Sean OShea- 1NDB.</B></div> <div> Back when the electric golf cart was a novelty, and not an everyday occurance, Sean was racing around in the academic building with Mike riding in the bed.  Well he seemed to back that azz up, full speed,  right into a concrete corner pillar.   Mike landed SQUA on the floor, resulting in temporary (or was it permanent?) incapacitation.</div> <bR> <div> <B>Mike Radowski- 1 NDB.</B></div> <div> Back in the spring of '99, Mike wrecked his 1987 5.0 Mustang at a student autocross.  The skid marks are still in lot 7.  There are also reports of him spinning out trying to slalom in a construction zone.</div> <bR> <div> <B>Martin Pettus- 3 NDBs.</B></div> <div> Took out timing equipment at a student autocross, with fabled "white trash martycarlo".  Also had a few incedents with 92 Hyundai Scoupe, but those don't count because the vehicle deserved it.  The latest two do, however.  It seems the fearless Pettus placed his Hyundai into a ditch traveling at about 40mph, coutesy of overzealous e-brake use.  No damage, though!  And as of 10/16/01, Marty provided us with an entertaining story about his commuting adventure, combined with his spectacular off attempting a 180* exit ramp with slightly too much speed.  Encountered lift throttle oversteer, spun into the grass.  Poor car.</div> <bR> <div> <B>Jason Cartwright- 2 NDBs.</B></div> <div> Pulled a Paul Bahna and took out the fence in the GMTY esses.  Most likely due to the multiple witness phenomenon.  He also suffered a throttle return spring failure and promptly flipped/destroyed the 2001 FSAE car at a Kettering Autocross.  The rumor is speeds were over 70mph, nothing has been confirmed as of yet.  Jason had to go to the hospital, but is apparently OK.  Check out a pic or two <A HREF="http://briefcase.yahoo.com/alanklo " TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://briefcase.yahoo.com/alanklo "><U>here.</U></A></div> <bR> <div> <B>Claude Pilger- 1 NDB.</B></div> <div> In one of the first NDB's ever recorded, Claude and I decide to make a late night Taco Bell run.  However, Claude had ingested almost a whole 1/5th of Aftershock.  I made it there with no problem, however when Claude pulled my butt outta the drivers seat in the drive-thru line, I knew we were in for some trouble.  While attempting to smoke a cigarette, he pulls away from the window, and runs squarely into a light post.  His explanation?  He thought it was a garbage can!  I had to go back and retrieve some of the Mazda's parts from the hospital.  Note, the Mazda was owned by  Sean at the time.</div> <bR> <div> <B>Ryan Brookshire- 2 NDBs.</B></div> <div> Was piloting the golf cart, attempting to get it out the tight set of double doors in the delphi building.  He misjudged the distance, hit the door, then floored it in desperate hopes breaking something.  Gets an honerable mention for helpin his girlfriend move out and take all his stuff with her!  Also gave Whitmer's new 2k<I><B> EEEEEEEclipse</B></I> a cheap ricer body kit via front fascia damage from his S10's bumper!</div> <bR> <div> <B>Zippy- 1 NDB.</B></div> <div> In the single funniest NDB event ever witnessed, Zippy was running the golf cart autox course, when he decided to make a full throttle turn into a pillar.  Anybody who saw it will remember the sheer stupidity of the situation, we narrowly missed getting this on camera.</div> <bR> <div> <B>Bob Trees- 1 NDB.</B></div> <div> Back in the day Bob ran a school Grand Prix into a curb down in Indianapolis.</div> <bR> <div> <B>Drew Stahr- 1 NDB.</B></div> <div> Ran school's electric race vehicle into school's race trailer.</div> <bR> <div> <B>Jason Moore- 1 NDB.</B></div> <div> Hit his own Saturn with the 1995 Formula car, causing $2000 worth of k-member damage.</div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>Honorary NDB, sent in by Jeremy Peterson:</B></div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B><IMG SRC="35658c20.jpg" border=0 width="600" height="450" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></B></div> <bR> <div> "Behind the Bobcat you will see part of a 300 gallon holding tank that was</div> <div> instrumental in NDB (take special note of my redneck house). We wanted to</div> <div> remove the tank from the basement of the house through the cellar door,</div> <div> unfortunately over the 100 years since the tank was put in the walls around</div> <div> the staircase were pushed in making the doorway smaller than the tank. As</div> <div> I was lifting the tank up with the Bobcat the tank slipped and then got</div> <div> hung up on the rock foundation. This sudden movement caused my foot to</div> <div> slip forward on the pedals bringing the forks up, lifting the back of the</div> <div> bobcat off the ground and pulling it forward into the house.
