[Panzer909]

Oh! I forgot this one that I KNOW you’re gonna love it:

Years ago, I drove the car up my back yard for a wash. (My back yard is at a slight angle – nothing steep but enough that it would be a good idea to put the parking brake on) Anyways, when I was done washing it, the battery was on its way out & died so the car wouldn’t start. My yard is also very narrow, so the only way to get it out for a jump was to push it back out. I get in, release the E-brake, and a friend pushes it. I didn’t close the driver’s door completely in my haste but didn’t think much of it. So with only a small nudge, the car begins rolling backwards quickly. This takes me be surprise and the door suddenly swings right out over the uneven yard…….right into my Oak tree next to the car!!

Seeing this for a split second right before impact, I knew FOR SURE that the tree would rip the door off as the car rolled backwards. But – and in a miraculous display of true German engineering excellence – the door caught the entire car and stopped it dead in its tracks on the downhill angle. The crazy part is that it made no marks, scratches, or bent anything. I couldn’t believe it.

True story!
