Lilly the Stuntwoman! Well umm not really.....

Total brain fart moments, just thought about this topic because I have been reminded lately ( I mean made fun of) about what happened a year ago at my house last year. Last summer we put up a privacy fence for our yard. We have pretty big yard with a long driveway and since my husband works from his garage as a mechanic we always have a shit ton of cars & parts and so forth. He's a total car guy and so are his friends and they are constantly emailing him ad listings for more cars, parts, tools, etc. Well it was a Saturday in July, and I was not in good mood (visit from aunt flo) and it was hot as hell, and my husband tells me "Hey honey I'm going to the bank, Dave is coming with his trailer we are to pickup another car" WTF, first I'm thinking thanks for asking my opinion about purchasing the car and spending our money!!!! Secondly, what the hell this man has too many project cars as it is that are just flippin lawn ornaments anyways. Needless to say I was furious about this. So he came back with car and he was checking it out and it ran but then it kept stalling so he had me try starting the car after he checked the car and tinkered with it. Our son Max ran next to Vince to see what he was what doing and Vince quickly and told him NEVER STAND IN FRONT OF A CAR WHEN SOMEONE IS TRYING TO START IT. I'm so glad he said this because after a few tries the car started and it was in gear and I panicked and did not know to do. Considering I drive a 5 speed and have been for the past ten years I should have, but I wasn't in the right state of mind. Vince kept yelling at me telling what to do but I'm didn't realize it until I had went through a section of fence that leads to the front yard. Nobody was hurt and the car was fine except for the section of fence I crashed into that needed to replaced. When it was over I quickly went upstairs and laid in my bed completely mortified and embarrassed on what I had done. I'm just glad that Max did listen and he didn't get hurt. I guess the lesson learned is don't piss of wife she might crash your car into a fence!!!!
