Poll question: Is it hard to find a PARKING SPOT in your neighborhood?


A car is seen wedged into a wall Monday, Sept. 13, 2004, after it crashed into home Sunday night in Warlingham, Surrey, England. The occupants, who were upstairs at the time of the crash were unhurt and the lone driver was taken to East Surrey Hospital where he was being treated for non life-threatening injuries.

5. Someone Parked Their Mother's Station Wagon in my Porch Once
...when I lived back East. Took the curve too fast. She was OK, her mom's station wagon
was totaled, and my porch needed a bunch of work.

7. LOL
On a prom night in my small home town we had a neighbor whose house got run into.

Funny story - the kids missed the t-intersection, drove into our lawn, barely missed my bedroom window (my little 7 year old body asleep right under the window they would've hit) then zigged back to the road and managed to drive it all the way across the road and into my neighbor Leonard's living room. All the neighbors got up in the middle of the night and sat out in their lawn chairs to watch the police arrest the kids and extract the car from the wreckage. No one was hurt and Leonard, being retired and handy made out like a bandit on the insurance settlement.

Sad part? The car was loaned to the kids for prom night - it was a vintage '48 Buick, immaculately maintained. Idiots.
