Rolling

Thanksgiving was delicious. Except that upon parking on a lovely San Francisco hill, my car jumped back, hit the car behind me which caused that car's brake to disengage, making it propel backwards in a semi-circle, jumping the curb and driving itself across the street to finally come to a lovely, um, stop against another car on the other side.

The best part was all the kind area residents stopping to say "Quite a way to start Thanksgiving."

Ha ha ho.

I drive my car once I week to move it for the weekly street cleaning. That is all. And I take it grocery shopping this one time... Surprisingly, the damage was minimal. And no bystanders (there was an extended family standing at the corner) were killed. Car number 3 is kind enough to not pursue it any further. Luckily it was just a dent against the door. His car was old already so he didn't seem very concerned. Plus he was a nice man. Car number 2 seems to want to pursue this. The damage was a few scratches to his bumper and a dented light but he wants to get a quote.

Can someone steal my car and rid me of it? My car company won't allow me to break my lease. Unless of course I pay a penalty equivalent to the remaining payments. (There are 13 months left on the lease).

I should move to Arkansas just to have a reason to have the car. Or better yet, New Jersey.
