Book Cover & Preview Text
I knew that I should not have moved the car. To this day, I don’t know why I moved it. It was 1990 and I was in grade ten in high school. There is a couple reasons why I said that I shouldn’t have moved the car, number one, I didn’t have a driver’s license and the reason that I didn’t have a driver’s license leads to the second reason I shouldn’t have moved the car. I am disabled. Mom just bought my Grandmother’s car and was selling her old car. My plan was only going to turn the car on, back it up and move it forward, shut it off and go back inside. The reason I was going to do this was because I was told that it’s not good to let a car sit for an extended period of time because it would seize. If my plan would have worked no one would have even known what I had done. However, when I backed out of the space I hit a post. I then went forward hit another post. Somehow, I turned the wheel hit the gas and hit the side of the building and then hit another car which hit the car next to it. I am grateful no one was hurt.
