Commemorating the Emergency Brake

The car nestled in the trees off the side of our driveway surprised me. Its windshield glinted in the twilight. At first I thought the neighbors had done some impulse paving and put in a little auxiliary parking spot abutting our property line. But then I realized the car looked suspiciously like Tom's car.

It's 10pm, do you know where your car is?
Well let me help you out, it is lodged on a tree half way down the hill over there by the Gravel's house.
