Hey I did almost the same thing, except I didn't mean to do it on purpose.
You know the excitement of getting my first car overwhelmed me and I got a
brain cramp. And yes Thomas it was very funny, and I couldn't stop
laughing either. I also didn't fit our house, or the garage.

> garage door. I couldn't stop laughing when it actually bounced backwards

> quickly look around to make sure no one had seen me.
