Then the hubby told me why. As she was backing out one day she needed to run back into the house for something. She did so but forgot to put the tranny back into park leaving it in reverse. For whatever reason she didn't notice the car rolling backwards when she jumped out. It rolled down the driveway (at idle) into and across the street, across the neighbors lawn and into a tree hard enough to damage the tailgate.

It needs a new tailgate. Jeez talk about being pre-occupied.
