Probably the worst parking EVAH!

Post by Xamonas Chegwé » Thu Jan 30, 2014 4:45 pm

A woman managed to reverse her car out of her driveway, across the street and through the wall of a neighbour's kitchen! An engine fault meant the car began revving uncontrollably. The woman tried to put it into Park, but that meant going through Reverse, at which point it shot out of control. She made quite a mess and it really isn't funny but... :hehe:

We have so many cases of cars crashing into stores or homes in old Melbourne town. Almost exclusively, they involve either:

1. Young, alcohol-abusing hoons

2. The elderly and confused...

I have escaped category 1, but am probably drifting towards 2... :?

Erm, yeah. I'd call that a mechanical malfunction rather than bad parking, for which there are many examples. Five of them here:
