* DrivesLikeCrazy: Multiple examples. One [[WomenDrivers woman driver]] nearly crashes her car with the side of her garage if not for the whole thing lifting off the ground precisely to prevent that. The car with the indestructible fenders is smashed to hell ([[ExactWords but the fenders remain intact]]) because of a valet who treats the parking lot like a demolition derby ring. The man who accidentally guillotined himself with the automatic straight razor did not go himself any favors by taking the rough patch of road at high speed. And many others.
