I had my truck parked on a hill with my jeep in front of it. I knew the truck was close so I juiced her up to make sure there was no rollback. I let the clutch out. Did I mention it was in reverse? Yup reverse. I was told if you park a manual on a hill leave it in reverse. Nobody bothered to mention first gear makes it go forward. Cost me a inner and outer grille.

Some people are like Slinkies... not really good for anything, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.
