Plowed a trashcan Options

[MonsterBOX]

ok you know those big plastic trashcans that you put out on the street in front of your house on trash days? well....its raining and im parked along the curb in front of a friends house and the trashcan is behind me along the curb (not knowing this) so my friend in front of me decides to leave and i throw it into reverse and floor it to back up and bam!....i look behind me and the trashcan is literally off the ground, bounces down the street and hits a miata...we get out of our cars and are like holy **** and the alarm on the miata goes off...so the dude comes out of his house like WTF is going on and we both look over the cars no damage at all..this must have been like a protection act of god...absolutely no scratches on anything....just wanted to share and embarassing moment and watch out for trashcans!

Now if you had a park bench/shopping cart spoiler you would have had 6.5 g's of downforce when you floored it in reverse. Your back end would have dropped enough for the can to harmlessly bounce over your car and it would have saved you the embarassment of apologizing to a Miata owner.

And did you stop to think of what would have happened if there was a child in the garbage?
