What's that Smell? Mystery at 3 Shad Court

Kim and I came home from school and were nearly knocked over by a horrible smell like paint remover as soon as we stepped inside the front door. Talk about an instant headache!! We searched all over the house sniffing like a bunch of hounddogs trying to locate the source of the unknown odor. Was it coming from upstairs? no. Was it from the basement? no. Was it from the first floor? no........So it must have been coming from the garage!!!
We bravely opened the garage door and were nearly asphyxiated by the fumes! We scurried around trying to find an exploded can of something to no avail. That left only one source............the Thunderbird!!!
We quickly shut the door and waited for BOB to come to the rescue. When our hero arrived home, he also checked the garage for the source of the odor,and finding nothing out of the ordinary, he decided to back out the T-bird. He opened the garage door, cranked up the old 62 and ..............
promptly backed into MY CAR!!!! My little car didn't have a chance against a steel tank!! Then our hero gets out of his tank and says to Kimmie, "Why didn't you yell for me to stop?"
Bob did discover the source of the horrible smell, however. His gas tank apparently had a leak in it and had dripped a large puddle of gas on the garage floor. So the mystery at 3 Shad Court was solved, but at the expense of my faithful little innocent car

Sorry about your car, Robin... but what creative writing/suspense!I can picture the whole episode. Seriously, tho, can you drive your car??

It's always the innocents who get hurt first! And how come when a man makes a mistake, he yells at a female?
