Ya, that went WAY over my head. Not sure what TV show is being referred to and I've never heard of a "Porter touring car."

I could google it, but I'm too lazy.

I dont think the owner was in the vehicle. He did the shift from outside and off it took without any way to try to stop or slow.
Thats why he s not talking about the circumstances.

The Nut.

Then he would have had to repeat the same mistake twice in a row since it first went forward into the wall of his garage and then into reverse before heading over to the neighbors.
If a car lurches forward on its own under power into a wall, I don't think reaching in and shifting it into reverse is a logical or likely reaction. I would think someone in the driver's seat would be more inclined to do that, thinking he has control of the car. But who knows? It's an unfortunate situation regardless.
