Info from Licensor: "On the morning of August 12th, as the sun cast long shadows on the driveway, the trailer, disconnected from its anchor, began its menacing roll towards my Ford Focus. Panic-stricken, my father-in-law, in a desperate bid to halt its momentum, hastily jumped out of his car, neglecting to shift it into park. Like a scene from a suspenseful movie, the car suddenly lunged forward, setting its sights on a disastrous collision with my neighbor's pristine home. Time seemed to slow as my father-in-law, caught in a heart-stopping predicament, had to choose: save my car from the looming trailer or prevent his own vehicle from becoming a living room intruder. Drawing on reflexes I didn't know he had, he managed to intercept his car just in time, and, to my astonishment, the trailer narrowly missed my Focus, leaving mere inches to spare."
