if so you`re very lucky.... but not quite as lucky as I was, 1967.
Living in Stockholm Sweden at the time, my younger brother came over to go to college, he got a Volvo P1800 "demo" from the factory (to later be shipped to My dads dealership in Texas), it had only personal insurance (for him only), but I had a convertible , he wanted to trade one night so he could use the convertible on his date. I took the brand new P1800 out w a friend...we stopped at a candy stor on top of a hill , where the road goes down in a slight turn to a bridge over a canal. a couple of guys on 'mopeds' were hanging around...I thought , "maybe I should look the car,"...then " no , its ok"...we went in , got candy ,came out, NO CAR! I foirst thought "the kids stole the car!"
looked around , nope , here is the car hanging half way over the edge to the canal...I always put cars in gear , no p brake...must have missed the gear. It rolled down the hill, thru a 2 ft picket fence , which most likely slowed it enough to not disappear in the water! We managed to open the door (which was right over the edge, I got in, my buddy jumped onto the trunk so we could getvrear wheels to the ground...nope , didnt get enough traction...people came by and with 2 more on the trunk we got traction...scraped underneath ,grass etc, but nobody could get at the front to push as it was out over the water... no damage at all!
but luckily the car didnt go into the water...if so, I had reported it stolen, next day a tourist boat would have hit it in the tight canal, they would have found the car (not stolen) and most likely would have thought "insurance fraud"...plus the car was only insured w my brother using it. My dad would have killed me!
