Parking anyone?

This is what happened last evening. One of our colleagues here wanted to learn driving so he took the car for a spin in the hotel compound. Another colleague was sitting next to him to teach him. Then our friend decides to park the car and instead of applying the brakes he decided to push the gas pedal. Then??? The car just went over the ledge. We were at Starbucks when we got a call which said that their car has gone over the ledge and two of the tires were hanging outside. So we rushed back hoping to push it back in or something.

As we approached the hotel we saw the car vertical in front of us resting against the wall. We were like 'What the f*&%!!!' When we reached the spot we fouund that thanks to the rain the earth was soft and the front of the car had dug into it. The only part of the car that was on the ledge was it left rear tire. The guys called the tow truck and while we waited for one, the police arrived. He asked a few questions, saw the license and said that since it was a private property he wouldn't give a ticket.

Then the tow truck came and he helped raise the car. One of our colleagues got into the car and gave it some gas (with his foot on the brake) so that the car moves forward. Slowly the car came down on the ground and we heaved a sigh of relief.

It was absolutely crazy and as the truck driver said before he left - 'Welcome to America'!

I have a video of this (not the one of going over, but one where the tow truck gets it back onto the ground) and I need to edit it (cut it to less than 100mb) to put it up on Youtube. Will post that as soon as possible. The picture is that of the culprit. Someone at work printed that out to like 48"X24" and stuck it to his cubicle!!! :)
