I hate that sound, and was probably 50 feet from it this morning. No idea what happened but a women in a lexus sedan pulls into a parking spot on a corner at our health club and she just slams into a Lexus SUV in the adjacent parking lot and continues forward until her front end slams into one of those ginormous 8 foot parking lot snowpiles in front of her. She went up pretty far, so she had to have been going pretty fast.
I thought maybe it was an older person who had a stroke or some damn thing, but she was fine. Don't know if she hit a wet patch, foot slipped off the pedal, or what.
Hate hate hate that sound.

meh, it was two Lexuses (Lexi?) hit. No damage done. Just two [expletive] cars hopefully removed from this world.

I was relieved too when I saw that it was two Lexus'. Could you have been much worse.IMADreamer wrote:meh, it was two Lexuses (Lexi?) hit. No damage done. Just two [expletive] cars hopefully removed from this world.
It was so bizarre though. She was just parking her car and she just smashed into the side of one and up the snowbank. I still can't get over it.

If I'm thinking "this person should pull their head out and drive like they know how" it's 95% likely to be a lady in a Lexus or a man in an Audi. I can't explain it, it just ends up that way.
