Hung up

Not the first vehicle to be hung on the retaining wall

Mom and Betsy were leaving practice last night when they noticed the exit gate was closed behind the high school. Being that it was dark back there and the grass was the exact same level as the narrow driveway, mom didn't realize her left side was off of the pavement. The problem is that the walkway down to the football field is a ramp with a retaining wall beside it. The car backed over the retaining wall and high-centered.
Dad was out to dinner with a couple of co-workers and came over as soon as he could, bring them with him. There was nothing they could do without a way to elevate the car, so Uncle Fonghonk came over with his floor jack and helped out.
Dad couldn't laugh too hard though because he ran off the same wall a couple of months ago. It's an easy mistake to make, but it only happens once. We wonder how many other people have made the same mistake since our family is 2 for 2.
