Meanwhile in Hawai’i – Pat Campanella gave his wife Mimi driving lessons and she overcompensated to avoid an oncoming car sending their Toyota Highlander through a neighbor’s fence, across the patio and into the 80-year old’s pool. The couple got out fine, a little shaken and wet but otherwise uninjured.
I can imagine the husband shouting as they flew across the yard, “The brake! The brake! No the the left pedal, LEFT!”
Apparently this is a thing.
Dang. Sounds something that mom and I would have done back when we lived in Essex…if we had a pool instead of that long downhill driveway with a nice garage at the end. Remember Dad having to rebuild the poor garage twice?
