The driver was parked and talking to his girlfriend when she needed to get her purse out of the car. Her purse was on the center console and was hooked on the shift ****. The shift **** was jostled out of gear into neutral unbeknownst to them. The car was parked on a grassy knoll and started rolling, slowly at first and then faster and faster. By the time they realized what was happening, it was too late and the car rolled into the water.

Best part is that the car doesn't even belong to the driver - it belongs to his dad!

Risky business to borrow such nice rides from parents. Unbelieveable how they kept dropping it back in and managed to wreck the rear suspension along the way.
