Default I was at Knopf in Allentown and saw a S4 hit in the side.

Would it be from someone that was at Pocono. The guy at the dealer asked me. Told him I didn't have a clue, which I lie. Asked me if I race. Told him the only place I race is on the Highway.
HAHA!!!

Default It's my Santorin

Not from track use. My father was backing into my garage and "confused" the brake and gas pedals on his Buick. My door was slightly ajar and as he came screaming into the garage he nearly tore the door off of its hinges. He ended up pounding into the concrete wall of the garage. He's OK after a visit to the ER. I'm not sure I'm OK after viewing such an assault on my beloved car.

Default Keith in sales told me about it. Was getting ready to see it until my ride came. Sorry to hear that.

Keith wondered if I knew anything about it.

Bigger against smaller. Smaller usually loses.

Default Thanks for the sympathy, I'm inconsolable.

They say that most accidents happen in the house -I didn't realize that it also applied to auto accidents. BTW-they're going to "total" the Buick.

Any idea on how fast your dad was going? That just amazes me.

I have no idea, I was busy moving out of the way. It was probably 15-20 mph. He had at least a 25 foot headstart at full throttle.
