Silliest thing you done to your car?

I had just bought my first 306 an XLDT and decided to check the oil and noticed it was reading a bit below the minimum mark so I decided to by some Oil. Ithought being that low it would need alot of oil, so I got a big 5 litre can of oil and....well you can probably know where this is going, but 5 litres later I pulled out of a car park and ahead of me was a 10% uphill gradient. The engine began to race and a huge plume of white smoke bellowed out of the exhaust so I pulled in turned of ignition rev needle at this point was nearing the 5000 rpm mark so I put it in 5th and stalled it. Damage was new turbo , Cylinder head and a complete set of Glow plugs and needed angine rebuild.

Robbies suggestion I stick this in here......drove into a kerb whilst parking, it didn't look as high as it was!
