Dropped the car hard, right out the (closed) back shop doors. Buckled it in the middle, just behind the front seat, totalling it. A moment. No one hurt, but it could have been real bad. Luckily it was the school principal's car. For some reason he didn't see the incident as the great learning opportunity that it was......

Did he find out you were all making bets on how far the car would bounce?
