Default RIP Avant

Well, let this be yet another lesson for men. When you take your wife's Avant to the shop to get the wheel bearing replaced, don't let her borrow yours. Parked it on a *very* steep hill and went into her friends house. Came back out, it's rolling down the hill... and into a tree. drivers side doors blown out, tailgate destroyed, roof bent, exhaust pipe crimped, mirrors broken off, rear quarter panels caved and folded, various other horrible things. It's a sad day. Always instruct wife in proper use of hand brake. That's all I can say before tears overwhelm me. Glad she wasn't in it though, that's a blessing. [X(]

Parking on a hill = handbrake + leave it in gear + cut the wheel (just in case)
