Talking Parallel Parking gone wrong - Subaru style!!!

From my local newspaper:

A parallel parking job gone wrong caused some excitement Tuesday in downtown Charlottesville.
Reported by: Lynne Vogt
Tuesday, April 12, 2005



A parallel parking job gone wrong caused some excitement Tuesday in downtown Charlottesville. The driver of a Subaru accidentally hit the gas while trying to inch into a parking space in front of the Jefferson-Madison Regional Library.

The all-wheel drive car climbed the steps and ended up almost nose-down on the sidewalk. No one was hurt. The car was not totaled, but the library steps are a little worse for the wear. No word yet on damage estimates.

No pic of the Subaru - but I heard it was an Outback. Just funny that the all-wheel drive car climbed the steps so easily...

Hey, I live in a small town - our news reporters aren't the best!

The Supreme Court will look into this as well as other aspects of their AWD plus boxer engine capabilities and with approval from congress plus executive branch from here on forth ban Subarus from being sold in the United States of America. They are just that dangerous to the populous around them, not to mention all Subarus currently operating in the states and also on the lots will be impounded and destroyed as well from here on forth will be registered as WMDs.

Oh yea, I forgot to mention since all Subarus are now considered a WMD US forces are stationed right outside Cherry Hill, Shinjuku-ku Tokyo, Gunma, plus other areas where these WMDs are produced and their affiliates are held, not to mention France for no apparent reason. Also as of later to tonight the president will hold public a joint session over whether an imminent invasion of these now terrorist compounds will be announced. Everyone seems to be in shock over this sudden turn of events with Mitsubishi and Ford showing approval.

Obviously there was too much water and not enough sand and cement when they mixed the concrete for those steps.

Let's see rock paper, water, cement, scissors, sand, gravel........water wins.

And here's the rest of the story from your intrepid (decrepid) reporter:

The library police were chasing the drver of the Outback because he had a library book that was long over due. They were going to confiscate the book and collect enough money from him to fix a small crack in the steps leading up to the library. The library police thought that they had him. They surrounded him on three sides with the steps behind the Outback. They obviously did not anticipate his driving down the steps nor the 'Beauty of All Wheel Drive'. Unfortunately, this action increased the stress on the crack in the concrete and the steps gave way. The library police are still investigating, hoping to track down this nefarious criminal. Their only lead in this case is that they found a battered library card at the scene. Unfortunately, they could only make out the first name on this card. It was 'Ron'. They have sent the card to the FBI Library Card Forensic Lab for further study. This reporter will closely monitor this story and bring you important events as they unfold.
