And another time I offered a girl from the office a lift back to work and managed to mis judge the lengtrh of the bonnet and drove striahg into the railing doh!!!

I drove through a crowded pub car park - and got lots of
(yes Phil, I know) - so decided to rev it then blast away.
Thanks to my newfangled SMG gearbox, I couldn't work out why it wasn't going, so just ended up sitting there for a minute looking like an idiot, till I remembered foot had to be on brake before drive would engage

First time after we got the Zed I told my wife that she'd need to be really careful when parking towards a kerb, as it was so easy to drive into it with the deceptive bonnet length. Demonstrated a reasonable distance to stop when we pulled up at only to get out and find the nose was at least 6" over the kerb and just nudging the grass.
She simply thanked me for the valuable advice

Haha, this is a good thread.
Ok most embarassing moments,
Took a corner too short and curb checked the hell out of the car. The car being as low as it is, scraped the right aero skirt and nicked up the rims pretty good.
Another time after shortly getting the car, my shop was having a car wash fundraiser, so my shift is up and I put the top down and attempt to leave the parking lot. Well I let the clutch out a little too quick and not enough gas and sure enough it stalled. Some lady said "if you can't drive it, I will!"

I got outrun by an Audi TT 
It was probably more my driving skills than the Z4 that let me down 
I got outran in the 0-60 range by a single cab chevy pickup (can't remember the model) he had a v-8. But I was dumb, I didn't increase the rpms before launch and I left DTC on....so what happens when I take off....not much....then shift to 2nd I must of overrevved a little cause the no fun light came on again and slowed me down. It was close don't get me wrong, but the fact remains he still beat me until around 50 then I was rocketing by him. I want a rematch but we haven't found each other at a light yet. Plus now he works in a different section so it's harder to find each other. Damn now I want to go drive the car.
I was pulling out of a petrol station and overheard some passing females commenting on what a "cool" car I had. With my ego swollen I decided to display my incredible driving ability's and shot out of the petrol station in full drift mode. I was very impressed with myself as I'm sure they were until I went to snatch second gear and completely f****d up the gearchange. Needless to say the sound of teeth stripping off second gear wasn't quite so impressive and I could just imagine them saying " what a d**k"! I opted for third gear in the end and set off home with my ego in tatters.
Most embarassing moment... OK I'll play.
Imagine yourself walking towards your car and then noticing that a few hotties have followed you out at the same time. Hehe... TRUE STORY.
So I'm walking back to my M with the Rick Hunter swagger, girls in tow and gawking at both my ride & I (OK, maybe more at my ride). I look back nonchalantly and notice a few winks and giggles. SWEET. At about 10 feet from the car, I swing my head back at them again, "click click" my keyfob, and pull the handle. WTF.... car's still locked. "Click click" still no avail. "CLICK CLICK." :x Now I start bumbling around, pressing all of my buttons trying to get a response from the car. NOTHING. By this time I swear the chicks thought I was being a poser in front of someone else's car. SHIET.
...I ended up opening the door with the key, leaped into my car and crawled up inside, defeated. Fricking keyfob had ZERO range where I was parked. Damn... those 10 seconds were the longest in my life.
Still traumatized.

Mine is also caused by female attention :roll:
Where I park my car there is a slight hill so I normally leave the car in first. One morning (actually 2 weeks ago) a group of girls went past which drew my attention :wink: They kept staring while walking past with a smile then I thought I start the engine up with a bit of gas on for added effect.............
The rest you can probably figure out yourself.
I was owned by my own car.
