    I was running a bit early for work today and I decided to get my car washed at a shop on the way to work.

    I pull up and pay and casually make my way inside. I dick around with the water shooter they have installed that lets kids like me shoot a stream of water at the passing cars on the conveyer.

    As I'm waiting outside because it's a rather nice morning, I see a mint Jeep Grand Cherokee slowly roll out from the end of the wash and then I notice it... there's no driver.

    As the car is now fully out of the wash the employees notice and full panic run to the front in a fruitless attempt to stop it from rolling into a mint Cadillac SUV.

    The slope of the drive is too steep and there it goes... slow motion... everyones' now running to the car to try and stop it. An employee jumps into the drivers seat door open last second but it's too late as the open drivers door slams into the back of the SUV pinning the guys left leg in the open door. This is bad.

    We all run over now and an employee jumps into the Caddy and moves it forward. Heavy damage to the Jeeps door and and the guys leg is badly bruised.

    It all happened in slow motion but at the same time was over in the blink of an eye.

    We all laughed after that it could have been much worse then we all kind of thought about what might have happened if the car had another 10 feet or so to pick up speed. It might have chopped the guys leg clean off. Fuckn hell.

    • lol buddha. I was impressed at how cool the guy who owned the Jeep was. More concerned over everyones safety than he was his car.kona
