Bad Car-ma

In the space of less than 24 hours, 2 friends have had "accidents" with their vehicles.

MJ was on his way home from Toronto on business and stopped in for coffee yesterday afternoon - we had a nice but short visit coz he wanted to get on the road home due to the weather. I tried to persuade him to stay, but he was determined to get home. He called me from Lucan which, in ideal conditions, takes no more than 20 minutes to drive to...it took him an hour and a half. He was stuck there because the OPP had the highway closed by then so he grabbed a book from the variety store and went to sit in the Timmies parking lot - can't smoke indoors anywhere anymore...unless of course, you're in your own home. However, MJ being MJ, he got antsy and decided he was going to make a run for it...so he snuck out of town onto a backroad and yup, you guessed it...he plowed it into a snowbank. He was out with the MTO this morning and their payloader to find it before their plows blasted through the drifts and consequently his vehicle...it took about half an hour to actually find it and when they did, it was in about 30 feet and covered in about 10 inches of snow. He said there was so much snow under the hood, he could hardly find the battery...

My second friend with bad car-ma was trying to find a gas leak on his car when it suddenly...POOF...up it went up in flames. He's off to rent a car now coz his is basically a burnt out skeleton from the firewall up...

I told him he shouldn't have been using his lighter to find the gas leak...lolol...

He wasn't really, but I do so enjoy winding him up - it's so easy to do!!
