OLD? I had 5 in 3 years when I interviewed. As a matter of fact the HR guy said (in front of the entire group when he called my name) "Man you've got a lead foot!" Of course, the entire crowd "ooo'd and aaah'd" like those at a circus.
I explained that I bought a Mustang GT, fixed it up, drove the h&ll out of it and realized I needed to slow down, so I did. The Capt started asking me about the car and we traded Mustang stories. Discussion was over with. I got hired with a few others. Most that "ooo'd" did not - the moral - have an honest explanation of why you did it and how you remedied the situation.
