Default close call!!
I spent a whole bunch of hours today installing my ICELink interface for my iPod. After the job was complete, I went for a little spin to run some errands. I pulled back into the driveway and started playing with the ICElink again. I got out of the car and locked the doors and turned to walk into my house. I looked back to admire the car full o' gadgets that I love so much and to my horror it was slowly ROLLING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY. I fumbled to get my keys with my FOB out of my pocket as I ran over and started bracing my body weight against it. It's a damn good thing I don't have a steep driveway. Luckily, it didn't make it all the way into the street or across into the neighbor's yard/driveway! Sheesh, what a dumbass, LOL!!
