Been there, done that, drove my brother's Blazer through the wall of
our house. :( Barely missed my Dad too. Do NOT try to drive a blazer
while wearing work boots. I think the pedals must be designed for women
or something? Way too close together. (My Dad did the same thing
except his was at an intersection. :( No cars were coming, fortunately.)
It turned out all right though, because insurance covered the blazer,
and we were going to remodel that room anyway. :)
Now, when I move the Blazer, I am VERY, VERY careful. I put it in gear
and idle it, with one hand on the wheel and the other on the ignition key.
