Dude just creamed my neighbors car

Woke up the neighborhood.  He caught a patch of ice (apparently, no one saw) spun around and creamed my neighbors kids car along with a few posts he has in the yard.  Seems like a decent guy that was not running from anything, just bad luck.  Spanish speaking lad jonesing for a cigarette.

His daughter slept through it apparently, but boy will she be pissed in the morning.  That car is fooked - slid two car lengths after being hit - in front of my driveway now.  Going to go help push it back now.  Whew!

   I assume your new car is safely in the garage?

Sounds similar to an incident that happened to my neighbor shortly after we moved into our house.  

One late summer Saturday night we heard a huge crash from the street as if tons of metal was rolling down it.  And we go outside to find two mangled cars one belonging to my neighbor two houses down.  His car ended up next to our natural gas thing in our yard about 50 feet away from where it was always parked.  The other car was in the street in front of my neighbors about 75 feet away from the collision.  And that driver was getting out and into a friends car that was apparently following them down the street.  So they did a hit and run leaving their car in the street.  They seemed like young kids in two cars driving way to fast down the street.  The front car went around my neighbor's parked truck and the back car ran right into it going at least 40 mph into 25.  We henceforth warn everyone of our friends about parking in the street at our house.  

Best of luck on the chautauqua, right now the weather sucks but things change.  I will be reconnoitering with members of the hobbit clan in Florida until the 28th.  If those are the dates and don't work out for me, gammapi, contrary to the unflattering names I have for him, is a gracious host.
