After I don't answer the door they try ringing the door bell, still no answer the they try pounding on the door....finally they give up!!!
Right when I am almost about to fall asleep probably about 5 minutes later here comes another knock on the door. I open my eyes and lay there thinking I wonder who it is, should I go see, nah...a nap sounds way better. That time they gave up really fast after two little knocks.
I close my eyes again and not even 2 minutes later another knock on the door. FINALLY this time I get up unwilling saying good-bye to my desperately needed nap and walk downstairs to the door. Thinking okay what in the world is going on that is so urgent!!
As I look out the window I see my neighbor Kenny on our front porch and right over his head I immediately see this.....
So, there you have it.... go on laugh, you know you want to...but just to let you know it wasn't my fault and I will explain why. I think the first words out of my mouth as I opened the door was "Oh Crap". Nick's car decided to take a little roll down our driveway and into our neighbor's mailbox. So, those of you who have been to our house know that we have a sloped driveway and it totally SUCKS!!! And Yes, I was the one that was driving Nick's car today....but that doesn't mean anything!!
Anyway, I run down to the car to see if there was damaged to the car and to look at the mailbox and I see this......
After I am examining the damage I look in the car and notice that the emergency brake was on and it was in gear, so I am thinking what in the world happened. Nick's car just rolled down our driveway with the brake on and in gear...see... so I am refusing to believe that it was my fault. I pulled the brake up and it was in gear. So, I run back up to the house and call Nick....you know I am emotional these days for some strange reason so am crying a little bit. Nick acts like it is no big deal and tells me to first settle down no reason to get worked up and then instructs me to take pictures and try to move the car and he will be home shortly!!! So, I hang up the phone run outside snap some photos and I get in the car to try to move it however if I move it then the whole bumper is going to rip off of the car because of this......
the cement that was holding down the mailbox came up as well and is right under the bumper. So, Nick gets home they jack up the car and pull the cement out from under the car.
Anyways, Nick is finishing up with the neighbor's mailbox as I am currently typing this and we even have to plant them new flowers and everything. We don't even have flowers around our mailbox I guess I can look over at our neighbor's mailbox and take a little pride in the work that Nick will put into it since he won't even do that for ours!!!
After Nick is finished with that he will be talking with Mazda about a faulty emergency brake....I will keep you posted with the outcome!!

OH MY GOODNESS!!!!!
That is CRAZY.
ya'll have a life full of excitement. sorry you missed your nap. Patrick's first car after his mission rolled across the taco bell parking lot and rammed into a huge dumpster. I can't believe it didn't hit any cars. It was his first week in the car. His was a
faulty emergency brake user!!!!
:)
How weird! At least no one got hurt.
I have to admit,after finishing with the mailbox area, it looks much better than it did. they had weeds and old dried up plants and rocky dirt. so after $40 they now have a new mailbox with new numbers, new plants and nice potting soil. it looks nice. they're out near dubai right now so I'm thinking I should send a few emails to them.
oh yeah, and now that i little more damage to the car, i think i'm just going to keep it forever!! i'm not getting it fixed!! most of it bounced back after getting it off the mailbox.
Of all the darned luck! Who would've thought? It really is a good thing that no one got hurt in the process and the car was actually stopped by the mailbox right? What if it continued into your neighbor's house? Crazy. The Lord was watching over everyone today! :) Sorry it all happened though. What a crazy and unexpected headache...
I wondered when that was going to happen! At least the mailbox stopped your car. Life is full or surprises! I'm glad Davis wasn't a 4 year old playing in the driveway... very lucky nobody got hurt. I thought for sure Nick would use this to get his way with a NEW CAR!!! I know he's been itching for awhile. Be safe!!

Wow, that is so scary!! I guess you'll be parking it on the street for awhile? Take a good long nap today to make up for the missed one! :)
My sister looked at the house across the street from you today and the realtor told her (as a selling point maybe?) there was a brand new mailbox for that house because the neighbor's car had run it over yesterday. Too funny!
OMG....for real!! Jessica are you telling the truth.... because we never told them and we fixed the mailbox super fast....
If you are telling the truth did your sister like the house? We could be neighbors to your sister and then when you come and visit I can see you b/c you would be right across the street!!!
Yep. That's the truth. When she told me I was like, oh yeah, I knew about that! And she did like the house, so we'll see.
