    I had just started my engine and released the parking brake with my foot on the brake and reached back for the seatbelt when I heard a crunch.



    I looked down and realized my foot was on the clutch. (Yes, my brake is a soft touch)

    Don't do this. :/

    How are you suppose to get on the 6am news by barely hitting it like that? You are going to have to take out that entire sign and half the building along with it if you want to graduate to being a cautionary tale. Put on your war face and give 'em hell driver!

    That looks like something a 2-wheeler or kid on a skateboard could have done. Fail.

    Wonder why Walmart and other places don't want trucks parked in their lots?
