I was pulling into a parking spot at a high school. I backed up and then put the car in drive, and it took off on me (sudden acceleration) with my tires squealing hitting the car in front of me and knocking that car out of park. That car rolled across the parking lot and went through a fence, and came within inches of hitting the school.
