It's been almost a month, but finally able to get around to posting a picture or two. Here is what happens when a 180 doesn't see your car as it taxis by... Prop missed the o2 bottle in the trunk by a few inches.

My first car, a '66 VW, was attacked by a C-172 in 1969. I was flying my dad's C-150E and had parked the VW at our tiedown spot at Fullerton, CA. The pilot of the C-172 botched a go-around, hit my car, went through the boundary fence and hit another passing car on the adjacent street. Had I not been flying at the time, our airplane would have been hit. The VW was repaired and soldiered on.
I was on downwind for rwy 24 returning to Fullerton when tower suddenly said, "Emergency in progress," and told me to leave the pattern and come back later. When I came back and landed I saw the emergency lights down at the west end of the airport, where my car was parked.

Well I know aircraft insurance does.
