Picture the scene.
It's a warm (ish) summer's morning, a dashing young gentleman strides confidently down to his handsome gunmetal Nissan 350z. The sun gently glistens on the shiny paintwork. He's super psyched about working this weekend and getting into the office, just like any normal working day.
He leaps into the Zed, sparks up the muscular V6 and smiles at the meaty bark as it kicks in and recedes to a deep, satisfying rumble. He knows it's going to be a great day, the stereo even kicks in and auto selects his favourite Cheryl Cole track. He winds down the windows. He's poised to make a difference today.
A quick glance, each way, before backing out the drive.
Ohhh wait, look at that attractive young lady passing by, not a care in the world, summer dress floating in the breeze, temptingly rippling as a gentle gust reveals a flash of lightly oranged thigh. Today is going to be a winner. Let's roll!
Strangely the car rolls forward, not backward.
Oh wait what's that steel bar doing there?
It doesn't look like it has much give in it.
No. No it doesn't.
None at all in fact.
Not like the paint and plastic heading its way.
GODDAMMIT!!!!!
