So as two of you know, I was startled awake by the wifey yesterday cause she missed her bus for work. She told me that it was snowing outside and that I needed to get up and start and clean off Abby so that I could drive her to the train station for work. Without even thinking, I hit the button to start the car and several seconds later, I hear it.
BOOM. Yes she was in gear when I started her and she took off down the block. She got about 50 feet before pushing a Jeep Liberty halfway down the block. Eventually, Abby got under the rear end of the jeep and pushed it out of the way and stopped about 300 feet away from my house, at the end of the block. Now I'm in the process of picking up parts to piece together my once perfect Abby..... *facepalm*      The moral of the story? Always keep good parking brakes on the car and try not to leave it in gear...... ~Chris This post has been edited by bloodMoney: Dec 23, 2009 - 7:29 PM -------------------- ~bloodMoney
