Holy fork Batman, that was close!

So I was working on my car, just finished and moved the car out into the driveway, still running, and ran inside to tell the missus I was going fro a quick test drive and to grab some

I came out of the house, and was WTF, where's me motor?


Handbrake wasnt on all the way, it ran down the hill and stop inches from the wife's REX. Close one. What a plonker!

If I did something stupid like that, I don't think I would take pictures of it, post them on the internet, and call myself a "plonker" (whatever that is).

i did that with my lancer, kinda. What i did was it wasnt in gear and no Hand break. i opened door took my foot back off break. It started to roll so i jumped back in. Tried to slam on break but hit clutch instead. It rolled back, got cought on a pile or bricks and bent the door parrelel to my fender. I repaired the door brackets that day and later had door repair on outside cause fender dented up door. but fender was ok. now the gap for the door is a little bit wider barly :-/ but still fixed. I wasnt so lucky as you and I didnt even get out of car, you completely walked away from it hahahaha. You almost desrved for it to hit. But happy to hear it didnt.

Wow! Your black Evo is almost as dirty as mine!

...unless you actually have a white Evo.

Seriously though, you are the luckiest person on this forum!
