Jeep driver rear-ended by Chihuahua in Chrysler After his Jeep was rear-ended in the parking lot of a Taco Bell in Corvallis, Ore., Tinker Melonuk stepped out to have a word with the driver of the offending Chrysler. In the driver's seat was a Chihuahua named Mr. Chips, one paw on the wheel. The dog had just had a wild ride - with the car careening The careening of a sailing vessel is laying her up on a calm beach at high tide in order to expose one side or another of the ship's hull for maintenance below the water line when the tide goes out. across five lanes of traffic from a nearby McDonald's. ``I said to myself, if this dog's mouth moves, I'm getting out of here,'' said Melonuk, a Baptist pastor. Taco Bell, after all, has commercials featuring a pointy-eared, pint-sized and Spanish-speaking Chihuahua named Dinky. Its signature phrase ``Yo quiero Taco Bell'' means ``I want Taco Bell.'' All Connie Sies wanted was her dog back. The strange ride started Thursday when the 77-year-old Corvallis woman stopped at the McDonald's to buy her pooch some McNuggets. When she stepped part way out of her car to pay for her order, her foot slipped off the brake. The Chrysler, with Mr. Chips in the front seat, took off without her. It slipped between a telephone pole and a tree, and then rolled across the street - straight into the Taco Bell parking lot, where it hit Melonuk's Jeep and came to a stop. Damage was minor. Sies said Mr. Chips, her companion of 15 years, was a little shaken up but glad to see her.
