The Car Saga

So, last Sunday I came home from hanging out with my friends and decided to park my car on the street instead of in the driveway because 1. my parents were having people over and 2. I didn't want to get stuck cause I was going to be leaving in the next hour. So, I park, get out, and go inside. The next thing I know my dad comes running into the computer room and tells me to grab my keys, license and registration.....my car rolled down the hill. WHAT? I was SO confused. Why is my car down the hill and why do I need my license and registration?

WELL...apparently my car hasn't had enough adventure in the past 4 months and rolled down the hill into a ladies yard at the bottom. SERIOUSLY! I mean I got in an accident in July do I really need another one to add to my record? I guess so.

So, anyway, the lady whose yard my car had rolled into called the cops, since well, there was a car there and it wasn't hers. (i probably would have done the same) The cop came knocking on our door to ask and see if we knew whose it was or if it was ours. ("yes, officer that is my car" - stupid and pissed off look on face) So, my car took out a nice large pile of rocks and half of a hedge. Thankfully, no one was hurt, no one was given a ticket and no other cars were hit. THANK YOU LORD!

So, the pile of rocks were put back to where they belonged, I drove the car back up the hill and everything was grand....not so much. The putting the rocks back and driving up the hill is true, everything grand not so true. I called my mechanic who came over on Monday and said, "sorry, not so drivable, we will get this looked at." As of wednesday I was told the damages and as of today it is now back home, safe and sound with the bank account of the owner hearing echo's of what used to be money. But...I have my car.

The positive side: No one was hurt, no other cars were hit, and I now know how to properly park a manual car on a hill.

Negative: I am broke

Positive: God is teaching me a lesson....I just don't know what it is yet. :)
