It's 1991, I'm 16yrs old, and I'm working my first detailing job at a local high volume shop. I'm in the wash bay working on a mid 80's Astro Van. Around me are co-workers and the noise from 2 Milwaukee rotary buffers at 2800rpms, 2 shop vacs, the air compressor motor, and the loud stereo playing classic rock. I hop in the van to back it up rotating the wheels 180 degrees. I step on the break and put the van into reverse....or at least I thought it was the break!!! The van shot backwards leaving a good 10 foot patch of rubber on the floor and I smacked into the building wall! Luckily there was a 50 gallon plastic barrel behind me full of aluminum cans that absorbed all of the impact. No damage to anything but it sure scared the crap out of me!
If you have even been in those mid 80's Astro van you know how close together the peddles are, and I now know why the safety mechanism is in place to shift out of park!

1987-Was backing a brand new 560sel out of driveway and ripped tha left rear door off. I went in tha house to notifiy owner, I would get 6 digits dialed and then hang up,finally got up tha courage after about an hour.Tha man answered phone and I told him what had happened.It seemed like 10minutes of silence and the man came back with:you did what? After I explained myself again. Tha man busted out laughing...GO FIGURE...This man remand a client of mine untill his Death 3 years ago. Fast Forward 2004-I was detailing an Acura, Tha phone rang I ran to catch the call but neglected to put car into gear. Guess what happens next,(my driveway has an ever so slightly of a downgrade) I answered call and suddenly I look up to find said Acura rollin down tha drive w/all 4 doors open.....tore tha front right door off. and took out part of my neighbors fence.This guy also took it better than I probally would have,just did his Beemer 2 weeks ago.
