A CR MINI with a checkered roof and a PW MINI do not equal a PW MINI with a checkered roof. Or do they ??

CR is obviously not a recessive trait! The PW was CHEATING!

The article states she did not have her seatbelt on so it is clear what happened. The "gong" really got to her and "drove her over the edge"

I was hurtling down the drive and I tried to put the brake on but for some reason I kept hitting the accelerator and just carried straight on.
Glad she's not hurt, though, especially since she's got children and grandchildren.
Haha, and this made me laugh:
