FORT MYERS, Florida (AP) -- An 81-year-old woman preparing to take a test drive at a car dealership hit her husband, a salesman, a car and a tree before running into a wall.

"She must have panicked," said Joe Sica, sales manager at Honda of Fort Myers.

why do i find that absolutely hysterical? why? is there something wrong with me? i just picture this little old lady, nothing visible above the steering wheel but her best church hat, as she slowly, but wrecklessly, begins to plow over a series of unfortunately located objects/people. i can practically hear the sounds of her "oh dear"s as she knocks down one thing after another thing after another thing....

the best part about this quote is that she was "preparing" to take the test drive when all of this calamity ensued. if all of this happened beforehand, imagine how the actual test drive went.

i'll check the papers tomorrow and let you know.
