Zimu's story reminds me of a short story of mine...and how st00pid things can happen to anyone. I was driving and I had a full unopened can of soda I was going to drink once I got going for a bit. I had it on the seat but as I was going down a hill it must have rolled over, fell off the front seat and rolled toward the front of the vehicle. I don't know how I didn't notice this happening (maybe it was the loud music) but when I went to tap on the brakes imagine my surprise when it didn't go down. I looked down and couldn't believe my soda was firmly wedged under the pedal.

Talk about bad luck! I had to kick the crap out of it to get it to move but finally it unwedged. No harm no foul...but it taught me ANYTHING can happen while driving. If that had happened in traffic it could have been a real adventure.

<< I opened my sunroof up and grabbed a whole bunch of change from my change bin and just chucked it out of my car. >>



This is the coolest thing I've heard that can be done to a tailgator so far. Strange the windscreen of the other guy's car didn't shatter.. ;)

Hmmm,
Once I pulled up at the lights in the left hand lane (being the closest to the kerb in Aus) and to my surprise this woman drives up to the lights in the Bicycle LANE. I was thinking wtf? Light goes green and I pull away. Look to my left and there's the woman calmly driving in the bike lane. This continued for about 200m when she pulled into a driveway. I swear that's one of the weirder things I've seen people do.
