In the split second after shifting into first, I saw movement in my peripheral vision... it was my Shadow rolling down the driveway headed right for the passenger door!
For a minute there I wasn't connecting "Shadow" with "car" and thought it was kinda early in the day for hallucinogenics.
I always park my pickup with the parking brake on, and the trans in gear. Always.
My parked car was once hit by a pickup that had been parked with the parking brake on and the trans in gear.
Said pickup belonged to a friend. Parking brake would pop off if you looked at it funny and after that happened we tried, and the trans would jump out of first gear if you put reverse tension on it.
Now, I *know* I left the car in neutral, as I've always done... but anything can fail.
