That's why I don't have MINITOR horns mounted on any part of my MINI.

Suppose he quoted John Candy from Planes, Trains, and Automobiles...

"We're okay now...we can laugh about it!"

Whew!

After reading it all I could think is now that we know the guy is unharmed is it OK for me to laugh?
Am I evil? Well I know that I am evil but am I really, really evil?

I think this is my favorite news story of the year. As frightening as this obviously must have been, there had to have been at least a few moments in there somewhere where the guy just sat back and enjoyed the ride. He might even have enjoyed it enough to promote it as a new extreme wheelchair sport. The version of the story that I read said that he was uninjured, but that he did spill his soda.
