Monkeyjack causes five cars to crash!

We were riding back from university and Monkeyjack tends to drive, well, dangerously*. We were stopped in traffic. There was a gap to the next vehicle. Naturally Monkeyjack should go 50 to catch up in the small space. That we did! I was thinking we were going a bit fast and slowing might be good, but I looked over. Monkeyjack is standing with both feet on the breaks. We weren't slowing, but the vehicle ahead of us did stop us.
I met the dashboard. Monkeyjack braced himself on the steering wheel. Well ... although a mess, he moved the car to the emergency shoulder. He was in the wrong. We had to wait for a cop to see the, now, three of us. The woman he hit wasn't too happy, but wasn't course. It was a busy section, so cops are often around.

His car was a mess. It bent the frame and there was some engine damage. Her car did sustain some damage ... body only.

A cop saw us and was turning around to meet us on the right side of the road. Some fool who knew the woman Monkeyjack hit saw her, but stopped looking while driving. That guy hit another person, sandwiched in between another she hit. The woman in the middle had some minor injuries (from her reactions) and her car was very badly damaged.
Monkeyjack crashes five cars. Nice one!
If I remember correctly, his car was never really the same and within a year, it was gone.

This same car took out a cement planter on someone's front lawn. Why would he be on a front lawn -- good question. He was transporting a cat. If you haven't done this fun thing, sans a car carrier, then you are in for a GRAND treat. I don't know of a cat that likes a car ride. I also don't know of any cat that willingly enters a cat carrier.

The cat, on the way to the vet, escapes in the car. Worried that he would be hurt, Monkeyjack tries to find the cat, but loses control of the car. It runs up the lawn and takes out a planter.
Bad news for him, because the neighbors (2 streets away) are royal jerks! Supposedly, the bricks are local but the mortar is from Florida. I don't get it. Anyway, the appraisal for damages is substantial, because of the rareity of the mortar. He got soaked and they got a new van. Nice!


* dangerous -- By far, I have the track record for most dangerous driving, is that I was weaving through traffic and speeding and slowing like a maniac. E. K. was talking with Monkeyjack about this jerk driver. He tried to meet up with him to give him a piece of his mind. The driver was me.
