Not Saab related, but funny as hell

Okay, so I just recently came back from a cruise vacation in the Caribbean. One of the ports of call we visited was Nassau, in the Bahamas. All the roads seemed to be one way, multi lane, even in town. They rent out mopeds to tourists (you can probably see where this is going...) however everyone drives like crazy.
So I'm walking down a fairly wide street with my family, and I hear someone shout and look up to see a native guy waving at a tourist on a moped, telling him he's going the wrong way down a multi-lane one way street. There were no cars coming thank God, but the tourist was like "Okay" and slowed down and went into a U-turn. Well, somewhere in the turn he confused the throttle and the brake, because I heard this revving small-engine sound, heard squealing tires (making me think he was in essence doing a brakestand) and he lost control and plowed right into a parked Cadillac! The moped ended up on top of him. A few people ran over and picked it up, and he hopped back on it and zoomed off.
Needless to say, I abandoned the idea of renting one and decided to just take a taxi. :)
