JEEP IS WINNNAR!
So... today was an interesting day. I've been driving the Jeep around to break in the new gears, but haven't gotten a new inspection sticker yet. On the way to Autozone... I got pulled over and just (thankfully) got a written warning for expired inspection, and had an interesting conversation with the cop about the ammo can in the trunk where I have some fluids and crap.
I get to autozone, get a new downstream O2 sensor, and put it in. Amazingly it turned off my check engine light, so I brought it around the corner to the shop to go get an inspection sticker. Turns out I took it to the wrong bay (around the corner from their other bays), so one of the shop guys took it around the block. He brought it into the inspection bay, and left it in gear... no biggie. The next guy who jumped in to fire it up to run the ODB scanner for the inspection sticker either sucks at driving stick, or was a tard, or something, and left it in gear. He promptly let out the clutch with his right foot (stupid), sending the Jeep driving away and right into the BMW M5 up on the lift in front of it! My Jeep basically hit the header panel into the rear shock mounts of the BMW, knocking the BMW off of the lift sorta, and it seems like it totalled the BMW. Smashed glass, crumpled body panels, dropped the front right corner into the ground so suspension, and fender wells ended up holding up the rest of the weight.
My Jeep got two small punch holes in the header panel which they will obviously replace for free, and a slight wrinkle in the driver fender which they'll replace also. The BMW is totalled.
The real kicker is... the BMW hit was the owner of the shops! The shop monkeys were replacing his brakes for him. Supposedly he'd never seen anything like it in his 30 years of owning the shop!
