Okay, so this is only funny if it doesn't happen to you. When parking on an incline always remember and never forget to put the parking brake on. If you don't this may happen to you -
It was raining really hard and it was cold and I had an arm load of stuff to get out and take in the house so I was distracted and in a big hurry to get out of the rain. I had all my stuff in my arms and had just unlocked the front door when I caught the movement out the corner of my eye. When I looked around there went the jimmy, right down the driveway. I couldn't move quick enough to stop it so I could just watch. Now I have some work to do.
OUCH!!!!! I don't see any humor in that - just a lesson to be learned. Our drive is steep and sometimes I'm in a hurry to get in the house. I think I'll take a moment to double check my e-brake's set. Did the tree get pushed over or is it just the way it looks in the picture?
ReplyDeleteOh sad! I'll bet Anna is upset. :) I remember when that happened to the blue mustang on Bellwood Ln. Only it didn't get stopped by a tree. If I ever live in a place with a steep driveway, I'll have to keep this in mind!
ReplyDeleteMell - It may be funny in a while . . . after I get the pickup fixed back up and painted, but for now I'm not laughing.
ReplyDeleteTara - Anna is over it now she just wants it back in condition to drive. Maybe she will help me with it . . . hmmmmm.
Hmmmmm... all I have to say is this looks very familiar.. where I have seen something like this before? :)
ReplyDeleteSorry Mel, I really can spell if I pay attention. I forgot to say that the tree was already leaning it just got a little scraped up but the fence right in front of the tree will need some repair.
ReplyDeleteDevin, Yep . . . I thought Ryan might appreciate this blog entry.
