Mine are:
1. Autocrossing an Atom
2. Tracking a 12C
3. Drifiting an E63 AMG
Also the total cost of all of this was £248. So all of that automotive joy for the price of a cheap tablet.

In no particularly order.
That one time I ran from the cops after crossing paths with a tan Tahoe while doing 95 in a 55. In my 92 Camry 4cyl Automatic.
Driving a 2006 Ram 3500, with a Cummins and six speed Manual trans.
Snow drifting a 2009 300c AWD, seriously a surprisingly fun car on snow, and dirt with TCS off.

I wonder why drifting luxury cars is so much fun.

First (partial) lap of COTA in a Gator, months before it was finished
First full lap of COTA in my car, days after it was finished
First time on (any) track in any car (in this case, my MINI)

Hitting 120mph in an atom on track
Driving an Aston DB9 at 16 before I had my licence
Driving my first car home from the dealer (I know a dull drive but it was a big deal for me to finally have a car).

A DB9? That's surprising. I always see Vantages but never DB9s for track days.

Yeah looked exactly like this.
I think it was because it was a 12-16 track experience so they wanted a neutral easy to drive fast car with an automatic. Also this was a fair few years ago and some of their fleet predated the year the vantage was released.

1. Autocrossing for the first time (Hyundai Tiburon GT V6).
2. Driving my new/first car home from the dealership (Genesis I'm sure you've heard me talk about all too much).
3.1. Figuring out I can get and hold my car sideways without dying.
3.2. Finding my favorite driving road that is both a beautiful sweeping ribbon across some hills near the Mississippi and nearly deserted save for the occasional motorcycle gang and farmer truck.

First session at Road America without an instructor.
Being told I was "really hauling ass" while autocrossing.
Winning the Ladies Night Bracket Race one week back when I was into drag racing.

I really don't understand how someone runs from the cops. If they are able to get your license plate, they know who you are...

Blasting down snow covered country roads with my 2wd S10. Getting it sideways, pulling off simple drifts. That was so fun.

1) Blasting down a dirt path in a handful of different race-prepped rally cars, then parallel parking them
2) that one time I took 5 friends off-roading in my Jeep YJ and getting it stuck
3) learning how to drive by taking a Ford Escort Pony around an ATV track

1. Five straight hours driving at the limit during the Vegas to Reno desert race.
2. Team O'Neil Rally School
3. I was going to say cruising around in the rally car, but honestly I think towing the desert truck home to Massachusetts from Nevada solo was a bigger thrill, because I was genuinely left to my own devices, on my own, in unfamiliar territory. The schedule was mine alone to control, and when problems arose they were mine alone to solve. It was the first time I ever had to be THAT independent.

I was headed south, and the cruiser was headed north. As they passed I saw the decals on the side and knew it was a sheriff. I watched my rearveiw mirror and saw him hit the brakes, But I was going 95, and he was still headed the other direction. I let off and thought "I'm about to lose my licence"(I already had like 9 "points" from other moving violations, and in Wisconsin 12 points is the limit.) . Just as I started to to slowdown I realized where I was and knew what I had to do. I pulled on to a side road, knowing a friend of mine live in the area, and flew. I ducked down at that buddies house for the rest of the day, and actually got away with it.
