Me-- Cut someone off on the highway pretty badly when driving into Boston. The highway split into two directions, with LARGE metal rail dividers in between them that would kill you if you hit it head on. One side goes to the left to go to downtown Boston and the other goes straight toward Red Sox stadium (Fenway Park). Well, I sped up to 110 mph and cut across 3 lanes in the span of 1 second, just baaaarely missing the divider and just baaaarely missing the person. Then I sped up and passed everyone on the right after the lanes had already merged, almost scraping my brand new car against the concrete walls and almost hitting 5 people. I almost sh_t my pants after that after realizing what I did.

One of mine would relate to a car and driving too. I had been in Paris staying at the Westin Hotel (obviously) and had bought a BMW on ebay. The car was in Newcastle, in the north of England. I flew over, picked it up and without having anything checked or changing the registration or getting insurance I drove it down to London. I was in such a hurry I remember flying down the M1 - sometimes hitting 100mph. It was night-time by the time I got to London and raining.
I'd also like some of the money back - as someone else said. I blew about 50 grand that trip in a few weeks on very silly things. I spent 10 thousand just on gold jewellery in Bali just because I was convinced it would be a good investment.
