My friend Mark tells a story about the old VW Squareback with the full auto tranny he had. It seems that early one morning before a big VW show he went out to start the car and the ignition switch wasnt working. So Mark (who is 6'5") slid under the side of the car on his belly in front of the rear wheel with a screwdriver and proceeded to short the starter solinoid to start the car. (betcha cant guess where this is going) The car fired up with a fairly high idle since it was on the choke and proceeded to try to drive away. The only thing keeping the car from driving away was Marks shoulder! So here he lay in the dark with the car going Rrrrrr - Rrrrrr- Rrrrrrr trying to climb over his shoulder and pinning him to the ground. After a while he realized nobody was ever going to find him, and realized that he was going to have to let it run him over. So he finally reached around the tire and rolled it over his shoulder and past his head. He then had to leap to his feet and jump through the open rear hatch slamming teh car into park as it jumped the curb and headed for his neighbors house. He said the car was less than 6 ft from the house when it stopped.

Every time Mark tells this story I laugh until I cry.
