I do no recommend this.

My wife used to deliver pizza's in my Celica, she did this once picking up another order. The parking lot was slightly slanted, she didn't put it in gear or put on the ebrake and left it running. It rolled into a "pipe" fence about 15 feet away and popped a few clips on the bumper. Good thing the fence held as it was a 40 foot drop nearly straight down!

Edit: Here's a picture of a dude that wasn't as fortunate, same fence, but he missed it

If you weren't referring to mine, well, now I get to repeat being stupid twice for nothing!

Thanks to the stories from you earlier delivery-takers, I made sure to sort out this situation as soon as I got the key while my salesman went off the grab paperwork. Didn't want to fumble around with this when I'd actually need to first put something in the trunk. Man, the verbiage used on the button (and manual) is a little confusing.

Do you get a lot of "cowboys" in Wyoming? Not hating, I just find it to be a bit of culture shock, bein' a city slicker n' all. My Dad lived out there for a while in the 70's/80's; it was the only time he owned and carried a gun.

Glad I could help!

The first thing I did was to figure this out. Thanks for being the beta tester.

Second day with our new car and I got my first speeding ticket (44 in a 30 zone). Missy took away my key and I am grounded. Mark

Yea I hate be grounded. The last time I was grounded I was a teenager, I am now 45. All I can say about it is, this car is quick, sixty on the freeway feels like your going forty.

[M&M_Hwy9]

Yea, Missy gave me back my key. I am happy to report that I am no longer grounded. That was one of the longest weekends ever for me.

I find it's rather effortless to cruise at 85 without knowing it.

I forgot I was driving a stick (this is my first manual car), and I came to a complete stop in 6th. Twice.

LOL I'm opposite. Every time I drive my friend's car and getting to the stop light, my left feet look for clutch pedal

/sigh, this sunday in my first 86, i ran over a decaying deer in road, i broke my skidpad, and have deer flesh on the bottom of my under carriage and exhaust. now everytime i drive, I smell the flesh burning and rotting. its absolutely horrid.

18: Wiped bird poop off my car instead of spraying it off. Bird ate a little rock, ended up scratching the car pretty bad

I spend a lot of time reversing from my driveway and work so I got into the habit of playing with the reverse. Several times already I've accidentally put the car in reverse at stop lights with cars behind me. I haven't hit anyone but it's just embarrassing wondering what the car behind me is thinking about the crazy idiot in front of him putting the car into reverse.

good thing those reverse lights are hellah bright brah.

(this reminds me of the time in high school my best friend had a celica St, and he pulled some shit at a stop light trying to race, (or accelerate on someone) and he straight backed into him on a green light! ... LOL good thing his fiberglass body kit absorbed the whole thing!
