Post by 74ausfiat »

....i was driving my amazing fiat home from work.
i turned down the street i live on, started pulling up to my house..

but wait, whats this?

my breaks went out!
no they weren't soft or going out. they were out.

and. well. i ran over my own motorcycle!
hit it and drove over it about a foot. the kickstand went thru the grill but didnt puncture the radiator.

so now both things are going to the shop.

haha

what a world.

"Most accidents occur within 25 miles of home". :( :( They fail to say, "MANY accidents occur 25 FEET from home". Our club membership director has dinged two fenders, a trunk lid and more, including lowering his lift on his own car!

When I was cycling, a popular tip was to place the garage remote in the bike glove, so that you'd (hopefully) remember the bike on the roof before entering the garage. :shock:
