Today, I took my girlfriend to a local drag racing spot to get her more involved with my friends. Her ex showed up and wanted to race me. I won the race, but blew my engine. I had to use his dad's towing service to get my car home. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my friend with benefits got my new car stuck in a mud hole. I had to call my ex to get us unstuck. FML
Today, after having saved up my money for months to buy my college-bound son the car of his dreams, I got a phone call telling me it had been totalled during a drag-race. I only gave him the keys two days ago. FML
Today, I went to my boyfriend's house so that he could break up with me. I went out to my car to leave only to discover that all of the wheels had been stolen. Even the spare. I had to spend the rest of the day with my ex-boyfriend finding a way to get my car home. FML
Today, I went on a date with a girl that I really like. I picked her up from her house, and as I was pulling out of her driveway, I hit her dad's BMW, knocking off the bumper. FML
Today, my girlfriend's dad let me borrow his car for transportation to work because mine got totaled. This car is a complete dump and I've realized he's only letting me use it so it's my fault to fix the broken things on the car. So far, I've had to replace the battery and two popped tires. FML
Today, my boyfriend got pulled over and arrested for driving with a suspended license. Instead of getting my car impounded, his friend thought he'd do me a favor and drive it back to me. He doesn't know how to drive stick and blew my engine. My boyfriend is in jail and I no longer have a car. FML
Today, I was racing my friends to the car for shotgun in the parking lot at night. I opened the passenger door of the car to find an old lady staring at me. It was the wrong car. FML
Today, my car broke down. My boyfriend, who is not too handy, insisted on fixing it. He called me outside and said he was done and started the engine. Moments after rejoicing, it burst into flames. FML
Today, I got to drive my mom's car. I'd recently watched the new Fast and Furious movie, I thought it'd be fun to drift around a few corners. I ended up smashing straight into someone's front yard. FML
Today, I went for a drive to clear my head of relationship issues. That night, I got pulled over. Lost the car and my license. I texted my girlfriend, saying I was sorry; she left. Lost her too. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

From the sound of it, maybe he is in high school.

I think I understand the part about you and another drag queen having a race but not sure about the engine & towing stuff. Was it Go-carts?

No where in the FML does it say drag queens...

Ummm....maybe I missed something in this post but it said her ex wanted to race him. So it sounds like the ex wanted to prove something. He just took him up on the challenge. He simply wanted her to be more involved with his friends and his hobbies. Maybe y'all should read the post correctly before judging OP.

His hobby is apparently racing, since that's where he took her. And getting into racing you know blowing your engine is always a possibility. I don't see any reason to give OP sympathy.

#28... The op said it was a "drag racing spot". Pretty obvious his friends are into illegal street racing. If op was any kind if man at all, he wouldn't endanger himself, his friends, or the public by accepting such an idiotic challenge. Winning the race doesn't prove anything, except that op is an idiot who hasn't grown out of the posturing, preening, and strutting stage of an immature male.

Way to go for focusing on the negative side of things!

By the way, I was talking to #32.

#100, one day when you grow up, you'll understand the importance of considering both the positive and negative side of things before making a decision you regret.

Now that you have to replace the engine anyways, you can put a larger one in and beat his ass twice. (Hopefully without blowing it up also.)

Get an Autobot. That should fix all your racing troubles, but I figure you'd be burdened with saving the world every other week. "No sacrifice, no victory."

Then you have the chance to say to him it was his son's fault you blew your engine.
Zebediabolical 45
How is it his son's fault? OP willngly raced and took the chance. I doubt it's his first time, since he refers to it as a hobby.

Calm down, Paul Walker.

As many racers would tell you, you need to do whatever it takes to win. Hope the damage isn't too extensive though... But you still won, so you'd better get some tonight OP ;)
JoshMohawk 11
I don't understand the connection between winning a race and getting some... Maybe you could explain juvenile connotation?
tj4234 36
44. You've clearly never raced before...
JoshMohawk 11
I've never felt the need to prove anything.
