think of one, when I blew a tire on my van on the interstate and had an
exciting time. No other vehicles involved (well, I think the driver of
the VW bus I had just passed may have needed a new pair of underwear,
but I'm sure that had nothing to do with why he stopped to make sure we
were ok... he probably stopped to clean the chunks of rubber out of his
grille :-), only damage to the vehicle was actually caused by the tire -
I managed to maintain a fair amount of control of the van and kept from
rolling or careening down the embankment.

As long as you can't do that with a hotel room, I should be OK.  This year,
maybe I'll drive us out to The Store...

I haven't managed to total any hotel rooms yet (though other members of
my college SF club did discover that silly string doesn't just wipe off
the walls one time at a convention... fortunately they took the
responsibility and didn't pass it on to those of us who had not
participated in decorating the room). One consolation for folks though
is that the only incident where a passenger has been in my vehicle was
the tire blowout...
