Funny Story:
"Man drives car into restaurant then orders pizza!"
Hear about the man who drove his car through the front door of a pizza restaurant in Lincoln, Nebraska then decided to make the best of a bad situation.
It was reported that just before noon on Wednesday an elderly man got his foot stuck on the accelerator of his car and drove into a Valentino's pizza restaurant. While concerned citizens called 911, the man placed an order for a pizza.
Witnesses on the scene said that the man didn't appear to be hurt or in shock at what had happened.
"He seemed very calm and collected. I was amazed," a bystander told Nebraska Central. The driver was taken to the hospital as a precaution. No one in the restaurant was injured.
Chief Leo Benes told the Lincoln Journal Star, the fact that the driver ordered a pizza was a good thing, because it showed that he was "alert" after the accident. The real tragedy here seems to be that he didn't receive his pizza before being sent to the hospital.

| Top tips for car owners: |
| |
- Lighten up your key chain Does your car key share a chain with a dozen or more other keys? That’s a pretty heavy load hanging off the car key when it’s in the ignition. The weight, combined with bouncing while you drive, can wear out the tumblers inside the ignition and eventually lead to ignition switch failure. Drive with only the ignition key in your ignition.
- Wipe away that bird dropping ASAP Most birds eat berries and seeds, making what they dump out of their backsides acidic. Leaving it on your paintwork for too long will create permanent marks that even a professional detailer will not be able to get off.
- Be Gentle with Cold Engine 90 per cent of engine wear happens in the first 10 minutes after a cold start, so take it slow and don’t rev your engine after a startup as it will lead to a catastrophic engine failure in the long-run.
- Don't Smoke in your Car Smoking inside the car detracts its resale value. Cigarette, cigar and pipe tobacco smoke can embed itself in the fabric of the seats, the floorboards and the headliner, and can be impossible to remove.
