Ok this is probably my dumbest. Many years ago a new highway was nearly complete. Freshly graded and ready for concrete the next am. Me and two buddies find 3 D9 Cats parked. the one in the middle had a 6 ft paving attachment on the front end. I got on the first and had no clue how to start the damm thing. My buddy on the middle cat fires his right up and spins it out from the other two. As buddy #2 and I went to sit and watch the sunset over the lake and buddy #1 digging the shit out of this new road. Well that Ahole spins it 90` and starts heading towards us up on the hill. The paving attachment heads over the barrow pit and starts up the hill. What a hole he was making. Next thing we know this dude is running along side of the bull dozer. We thought it was a cop or some highway dude and we were busted. The setting sun was in our eyes. Turns out buddy #1 had jumped off a D9 cat heading up hill with the throttle wide open. Screaming what do I do now? well as that cat hit the top of the hill headed for the woods, we split. Come to find out the next morning, It cut a road 1/2 mile thru the woods before it hit a tree it couldn't knock down. The "new" road missed a trailer park by 50'. It was found the next morning 6 ft deep and out of fuel. the paving attachment was destroyed to the tune of 100k.
