Then there was this time I was sitting in a neighbor's yard, drinking beer, playing dominoes. I heard a car racing up the street from behind me. I turned and yelled, "slow down!"
I saw it was a van towing a speedboat. Just then he hit the brakes causing the boat trailer to come up off the trailer hitch. The tongue of the trailer came up, hit the back of the van and slide to the left. The trailer hit a parked car pretty much perpendicular and slid along the side of the car, just flattening the left side as it sheared along. Then the trailer stopped and the boat went flying and landed in the street behind the parked car.
It was almost slow motion and looked so cool. I had to laugh when the guy came and asked us to lift the boat up to put it back on the trailer. Turned out, he had borrowed it.
