... backwards, down my driveway, across street, across a small park, and almost into a creek! Dropped rear wheels over the edge of the steep bank, and car stopped resting on the frame, with front suspension fully extended. Super.
Lessons learned:
1) loose old boxes can pop out of reverse when parked on incline (remember those chipped reverse gear edges). Shifter was in neutral by the creek, key in house with me.
2) don't spare the e-brake. My light touch did keep the speed down and avoided the full bath in the creek, but a proper tug would have avoided the $85 tow charge, and free entertainment for my neighbors.
no damage, except to wallet. wish I took a pic.
