Unhappy Damn it! Forgot to put the car in park.

Well, I stopped by work for a minute (literally) today to drop off a key for someone. I ran in the building, did my business, and came back out to find that my car was GONE. I look down the slight incline from where I had left it, and sure enough, it was sitting in the parking garage entrance up against the back of the property's salt/plow truck. What's worse is that is had gone over a 4" high curb and shattered the oil pan into tiny pieces. It was sitting there idling with no oil for approximately 1 minute.

Now it's off to Don Pool for damage assessment. I can't believe it. I was in such a hurry that I completely forgot to put it in park. I've gotten myself out of the habit of setting the parking brake because it has a tendency to freeze in this weather.

I'm a lucky SOB that someone wasn't standing in the cars path, or that it did any damage to anyone else's vehicle.

Thanks for listening, I'll update you all on the repair process.
