Ok, here're the sad facts. I share a nice big garage with my brother. I park the car with the brake up and in neutral. I start the car to warm it up by standing outside, depressing the clutch, turning the key, and that's it. My brother decided on his own that this is the wrong way to park a car, that it should be in first gear with the brake disengaged. So, when I took my foot off the clutch pedal, the car shot forward and eventually crashed into the tow hitch of the vehicle parked in front of it. Impaled. This has me really freaked out, because the car didn't have a scratch on it. I'm so anal about it that I practically lick the damn thing clean with my tongue.
No, I didn't check that it was in gear or not, because I expect to find my stuff like I leave it.
I suppose it could have been worse. Since I was standing outside of the car when it took off, the rear wheel could've run over my foot.
Am I wrong to blame my brother? I felt like impaling him on the tow hitch.
