Thankfully, someone saw, I don't know who, and was nice enough to put a pad of lined yellow paper between my car and the light pole that stopped my car, so no harm done.

Thank goodness I park in a lot away from everyone else.

Good day.

Default Same thing happend to my brother's TT

but he wasnt as lucky as you. Front passanger side of his car got demolished as it rolled and hit the rear bumper of a truck. I always engage my ebrake really tight.

Default what happened? fall into gear?

I imagine the Ebrake rules apply, turbo timer or not. glad the paper got in the way, that's crazy.

Default Im pretty sure if was in gear it would have stalled and jumped foward.

so im assuming it was in nuetral and he just didnt pull the ebrake enough so the car started to roll slowly. thats just my guess.
