Driving While Stupid

Today after yoga I was having coffee with my friends Carla and Janet, and we got to talking about stupid things we've done in the car. Janet had us cracking up when she told us of the night she drove straight into the garage with her daughter's bike on the bike rack! The bike just bounced right off the rack and landed in the driveway with nary a scratch. I told of the time I drove into the parking garage at Evergreen Hospital........WITH the car top carrier on! I heard a scrape, a crunch and then "Oh Shit!" Thankfully the nice lady behind me (and the three cars behind her) backed up so I could scoot out, and hurry off to find more appropriate parking while trying to hide my head in embarrassment. The damage? Just a dent that popped right back out when Jeff pushed on it. Another time, when I was married to Doug, we drove right into the garage with the Christmas tree on top of the car! As soon as we parked we looked at each other and said "Oh Shit!" (common phrase of the chronically stupid) and then brainstormed a way to fix it (his idea? Drive back out - Noooooo!! Duh, the tree would have been stripped bare!). The solution? Roll the tree off the side - and quick before any neighbors see how stupid we were! One day I had Hannah (and all the other kids) at Children's hospital for an appointment. We left after dark and were driving in the parking garage, trying to find a way out of the damn thing! I drove around and around and finally came to a section that was REALLY dark - I could hardly see! I said (all indignant-like) "they should really get some lights in here, this is ridiculous how dark it is, I can't even see!" There was a brief silence followed by Hannah saying "DUH, Mom! We are OUTSIDE!" We had some good laughs..........so what's YOUR stupid driving story?
