today i aligned my headlights - not well, but better than last night. i forgot to put something away under the hood properly so it was hitting/rattling the hood while i was driving. i stopped, pulled up the ebrake, popped the hood, got out the car, opened the hood, and then tried to recreate the sound by moving the throttle cable. well, it didn't move the first time, so the second time i pulled up on the metal thing real hard, and by "real hard" i mean that the engine probably revved up to around 3000rpm. that's enough "rpm" to get the car moving.
guess what? if you read through the story, then you'll notice that i never took the car out of gear. yep. that's right.
i ran myself over. it was so humiliating and my foot hurts.

Rep Power: 258 Glad that your ok and nothing serious happend. I remember when my friend told me to rev his car up so he can hear how the exhaust sounds.. I just went in and stepped on the gas not knowning all he left up was the E-brake (and the brakes was not working at the time because he was doing work on it) when i floored it I crashed into his garage cabinet bent it up pretty good.. but the car was ok because he didn't have no front bumper on ;P

Rep Power: 0 Well I am saying BS, because if you left the car in gear it would have stalled out. I guess you could have done it with a auto, but I would think it would be strange with it in D and the e brake on

i have an auto. there's nothing strange about leaving the car in D and pulling the e-brake. remember: our civics have barely enough power to move when idling so pulling the ebrake is essentially standing on the brakes when idling.
