Don't lie, you did it on purpose!

One time in highschool I was for sure going to rear-end a hooptie due to ice on the road and there was no where to go--there was a whole slew of cars parked on the side of the road and the rear of the hooptie lined up with the front bump of the last parked car. There was a few open spaces next to the hooptie, but no way I could get in there.

Just as I came up to hit the hooptie, it started to turn left. I got the rear-end to slide to the left and the front end I turned towards the parking spot. The hooptie pulled to the let *just* enough for my little vw rabbit (gti!) to squeeze through into the spot. Rear end I was able to keep from coming around too much and got it into the spot. Keep in mind I'm still going like 30mph and there are more parked cars not far ahead of me.....AND I had a half-eaten, open face (cream cheese up) bagel in my mouth! We were on our way back from lunch!

The hooptie continues to turn and I kick the rear end to the right now and pull the car back into the driving lane, out of the parking spots. I look at my buddy in the passenger seat and we just erupt laughing, cause I *still* had the bagel in my mouth, and we came through unscathed!
