yes there was a runaway xj........ ALMOST 2....., ill explain, so i jumped out of my xj facing upward on a hill and i left the transmission in drive and when you do that the vehicle will just sit there not moving because of a little thing called hill brake. Well i got out to check out a guy stuck on a rock and figured this was gonna take a few so i walked back to my jeep and leaned over the seat to turn off my ignition totally forgetting it was not in park but DRIVE!!!!!! so i proceeded to turn it off and there goes my xj running away hahahahaha!!!!! i managed to jump in after 15 feet and hit the brakes right before slamming into another jeep that was totally unaware of anything. WOW!!!!!!! i seen my xj flash before my eyes. The funny part is that not 1 sole had witnessed what had just happened lollolol!!!! Had to share that little story, and no pics to prove it haha
