Oh cool- more reminds me of stories. Ok- i'll play- we had a client here on student visa from some mid eastern country. Parents bought him a full on zoot suit slant nosed cab. He comes over so we can do some service- he is just so enthralled with the car- he keeps going over to it every 5 minutes to touch this , look at that. We finish the service and back it off the ramp. He drives it around the block to check it out and parks it at a jaunty angle facing the street, then comes in to pay. As he is ready to leave, he reaches in and starts the car- where upon it backs up into our building denting his quarter panel and our door!!

Visiting a buddy one weekend- we are all waxing our p cars, talking Sh#t, having a good time. Bud #1 reaches in his car to show how it starts up so *****n since he put a turbo fuel accumulator on. Yep- with the door open and the car being in reverse it started right up, backed up and pinched Bud #1 between the house's chimney and the now wrapped backwards door. Broke his wrist and i can assure you he never ever left the keys in any of his cars again and always stepped on the clutch before turning a key
