What’s the dumbest moving vehicle accident you were ever involved in or saw.
Friday night I almost killed a deer, and came close to wrecking my car. Luckily neither the deer nor my car was injured. It suddenly appeared right as I was rounding a curve. If there had been an oncoming car in the opposite lane I would have ran straight into it.
To calm myself I began reminiscing with my son the various MVAs I have been in over the years (almost all were 20+ years ago...crosses fingers).
The dumbest car crash I was ever involved in involved Frederick’s of Hollywood (pre-Victoria’s Secret), a Mauser machine pistol, and first love. It was also the first car crash I was ever in.
I was seventeen at the time and giving my new girlfriend a ride home down Hollywood Blvd. I thought I would impress her by showing her the replica 1896 Mauser machine pistol I had hidden under the front seat. I had no reason to own it, and I had even less reason to show it to her. I reached down under the seat while driving to grab it...and the next thing I knew we were crashed on the sidewalk a few feet away from Frederick’s large plate glass windows.
Stupid.
I still don’t know how no tourists were harmed.
Standing in front of my wrecked car talking to the police after, my gaze wandered over to the erotic lingerie in the window. I still didn’t know what most of that stuff was, or what it was used for, but I knew I wasn’t going to be taking anyone out on dates in my wrecked car in the near future. Sigh.
The police officer must have asked me why there was a machine pistol on the front seat, but luckily I no longer recall what, if any, explanation I had.
Have you ever had a dumber accident?
