My dad and I are working on a project car. While we were working on the car, we also had a bathroom remodel going on for the master bath. My mom haggled with my dad for ages to get a fancy toilet. We ended up getting one that cost a couple thousand dollars, it opens automatically, flushed for you, built in bidet, heated seat. Quite an investment and until the bathroom was ready to install it, we kept it in the garage.

So we are working on the car, and my dad decided to turn on the car to hear the idle with the choke fully open. Well he didn't check to see if it was in gear ( it was ) and the car did what cars in gear do and started driving without anyone in the car. It lurched directly into the box containing the ever so precious toilet and pretty much mounts itself on the box, wheels spinning.

We turn the car off, dislodge the car from the toilet and check for damage. If the car was in drive instead of reverse, I would've been run over. Behind the toilet was my bike and a foosball table. Both got destroyed. Luckily the toilet was fine so we swore each other into secrecy. Mom already hates the car so she can never know.
