史上最牛的泊车手和幸运的倒霉蛋    
发布者:思念 | 发表时间:2009-10-31 09:04

近日,一段名为“史上最牛的泊车”的视频在Youtube上广泛流传。短短的两天内,浏览量已经超过了1百多万。视频来着于停车场的安全监视系统。

事情发生地正是位于大多伦多地区繁华地带的央街(Yonge St.)8281号Extreme Fitness健身中心停车场一个车位。本月22日,一辆深蓝色BMW X5型号SUV用很慢的速度进入一个停车位,却不知何故竟没有混凝土防撞栏前停下,反而加速向前驶去,并冲上对头两架汽车的车头盖上。该架SUV其后慢慢退后,并驶离停车场。

其中一辆损毁汽车属于Extreme Fitness的系统管理员贾米森(Todd Jamison)所有。事发当晚,贾米森离开健身中心时发现他刚刚付完Lease的2004款现代牌汽车被严重损毁。他最初以为有人试图进入汽车偷窃,但后来留意到汽车的挡风玻璃的破损痕迹很奇怪,“就像有人将整个身体撞向挡风玻璃一般”。他随即前往办公室查看保安摄录片段,结果令他大吃一惊,并随后通知警方。

警方经过调查,肇事司机是一名62岁祖母级的司机Tripta Kaushal,是安省烈治文山(Richmond Hill)居民。本周三,警方已经拘捕了该女士,并起诉她事故后离开现场。据悉,Tripta Kaushal将于12月1日出庭应讯。

至于贾米森,他则不得不支付4000到5000元,去现代汽车代理处换一辆车。现代公司的销售代表Barb Pitblado也表示,鉴于事故十分罕见,公司也打算“少有地”帮助贾米森一把(random act of kindness)。 最后,现代公司决定给贾米森一辆2010年款的Elantra,让贾米森有了意外的惊喜,一场事故使自己有了一辆新车,算是一个比较好的结局了(a happy ending)。

不过,另一辆被损毁的白色车的车主,却一点消息也没有。

One victim in the YouTube hit "Worst Parking Job Ever!" found a brand new car in his parking space Friday.

Todd Jamison planned to take the day off to shop for a used vehicle one week after a driver, badly in need of a refresher course, trashed his 2004 Hyundai Elantra that he had just finished paying off.

But when colleagues called him into the office on a pretence, he found a shiny 2010 Hyundai Elantra in the lot along with a smiling Hyundai representative.

"She gives me the car," Jamison said in a phone interview. "I am just in shock. I say, `Thank you.'."

The Oct. 22 security video, viewed more than one million times on the video-sharing website, shows a vehicle approaching a parking curb at an Extreme Fitness location at 8281 Yonge St. in Thornhill.

The BMW mounts the curb and charges onto the front hoods and windshields of two facing cars - one white, one blue - smashing them. Jamison's car is the blue one, in the foreground. Then the BMW backs up and slinks away.

"My car was a write-off," said Jamison, an IT specialist serving 13 Extreme Fitness locations in the GTA.

Only upon checking the security video did he discover what happened. He shared the clip with others and a friend posted it to the Internet. A British website that tracks bad-parking videos quickly ranked it No. 1.

At first, Jamison was partly enjoying his accidental celebrity, he said, then began to tire of telling his story. He also faced spending $4,000 to $5,000 on a replacement car, perhaps a 2006 model, he said.

"Now I have a whole new story," he said, "and a happy ending."

"We wanted to help the guy," said Hyundai Canada representative Barb Pitblado. "This was our random act of kindness."

There was no word on the fate of the owner of the trashed white car.

Tripta Kaushal, 62, of Richmond Hill, is due in court Dec. 1 to face charges in the parking mishap.
