Default Re: Man killed by his OWN Crossfire... a bizarre tragedy.

Wow. This actually happened to me too, when I first bought the car. fortunatly no one was standing near the car in my driveway and no damage was done to any one elses vehicles.

what happended to me was I pulled into the driveway, got out and went into my house. 5 minutes later I hear the cars alarm going mad! I walk outside to see my car had rolled away across the street into my nieghbors yard. Scared the pist out of me and my ego was a bit bruised as I know the neighbor will be telling this storry to all our friends.


basically I left the car in nuetral, (6 speed car) and pulled the handbrake. all is good, but the e-brake shoes don't seem to bind as well when rolling backwards, as they do compared to rolling forwards. I now yank extra hard on shallow sloped parking lots.

Lesson learned!
