So there's a lot going on these days, friends are coming back from other countries, just moved, just installed Gentoo alongside OSX,got a new car and am learning to drive standard,blah blah blah. Yesterday I was outside my girlfriend's house having a smoke and set my laptop bag on top of my car and proceeded to drive away. The bag contained:
My rev A. 12" powerbook
My 160G Lacie Firewire drive where everything is backed up
My Netgear router
My N64 and its accessories.
Looking in the rearview, I thought 'Hey, that looks like a body or something. Wait a sec...." Needless to say, I turned around pretty fast, and ran into the middle of a fairly busy intersection to grab it. I believe it went under at least one car, but never caught any tire.
So everything's fine, nothing was damaged, but there is a moral to the story...
smoking isn't just bad for you, it's bad for your stuff.
Similar stories? Thoughts?

Wow. I wouldn't leave the house for the next day or so. You definitely used up all your luck on that one. 
Glad to hear everything came out ok.

Addd a few scratches or dents and you'll stop being so focused on the appearance.

if your focused on the appearence then it is impossible for you to dent it on purpose.

 second that, when wear marks show up you start to USE it instead of just BABYING it.

A thumbdrive was hanging off the hook inside my Incase sling bag. It somehow got inside the laptop compartment and put a small scratch on my aluminum PB. It has been over 4 months since that happen and I am still having issues with the fact that I scratched my PB. Perhaps I should seek some counseling?
