Exploder Indeed!

I was pulling into the parking garage at Watter's Creek when I got a call from Adam that there had been an accident with my car. He had just pulled into the same parking garage and as he was going up the ramp to the second level the back gate on the Expedition opened (on it's own while the car was in motion!) and hit a pillar on the top of the garage. Upon impact the entire back glass exploded and flew into the car while he and Maison were in the car!!! His first thought was they had been shot due to the loud noise and flying glass, but then he noticed the entire back gate was opened.

Good News: Maison and Adam are both ok...not a scratch on either of them. And we are more than thankful that this didn't happen yesterday when we were in the middle of nowhere with a car full of stuff in the 100+ degree heat.

Bad News: Due to the holiday weekend, Ford won't even look at my car until Tuesday.

Remember about 10 years ago when the Firestone tires were blowing up on Explorers and the media deemed them "Exploders"? What do you call an Expedition that comes with exploding glass? I don't know what you call it but I know what it and flying car glass look like...
