After spending hours shoveling & snow blowing from our latest storm I wanted to rearrange the cars on the driveway...put mine first followed by my wife's. I had my son jump in my wife's car but it was stuck on a little ice & he couldn't get it loose. I tell him to get out & I'll show him how to do it. Now the fun begins! He gets out & shuts the door because I was coming up the driveway with the snow blower. Low & behold he leaves it in D!!!!! He swears up & down that he had it in P....yeah right. The doors all lock & the front wheels are spinning on the ice. Talk about panic setting in because I knew that at any moment the ice would break & the car would shoot right into the garage. I start looking for a brick to break the window but that fast the ice gave way & the car shot into the garage. Holy **** & other & other choice words I muttered. Luckily the driveway is on a nice slope & the amount of junk in the garage literally stopped the car without doing any damage. This all happened so fast it was unbelievable. My wife comes out to see what all the damn noise is from & freaks out when she sees her car jammed in the garage with the front wheels still spinning. She runs back inside & grabs the spare set of keys & problem solved. Dumb **** kids...then again maybe the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree. No visible damage to the car & we put the garage back together. I hate this weather!!!

    Glad that nothing much was damaged. Funny story.

    You and Tony should hang out in your garage in your underwear with Tony's dog. You guys could have tons of fun :)

    But I put it in park!

    Sure you did kid. Cars pop out of park, miss reverse and neutral to get to drive all the time. It's even an added feature on some cars.

    I guess you have a great reason NOT to clean out the clutter in your garage! Priceless!

    Now, I just have to figure out how to get an equally good reason NOT to clean out my very, very cluttered basement!

    You give me reason to hope.

    Now that it's over & no one got injured & the car didn't get damaged we're having a good laugh about it. We all said the same thing that we should have taped it & put it on YouTube. That would have been hilarious. But how the heck do you do that in that situation without it looking like it was staged. It happened so fast & was so scary, getting it on video didn't even enter my mind until it was all over & of course too late. Oh well maybe when the next storm comes we can try it again LOL!!!

    Glad everything worked out OK Phil. I know that panic mode very well. Sh$t happens when you least expect it.

    As for the rest of you Bozo's claiming Phil and I should hang out together.....why not man ? We have similar tastes, similar mishaps, probably could share a lot of the same stories for sure. Most likely **** in the same manner too. God help us if we were neighbors.
