Yeah, that's it. Kinda sucks. I parked outside in such a way that I was kinda clocking the garage for her. I remember thinking to myself that if she didn't do a certain maneuver she wouldn't make it. I guess she didn't do that certain maneuver. It's not like we're talking about millimeters though. Not even centimeters. Hell, not even meters. We're talking car lengths of space. Anyway, instead of pulling forward and then backing up and then pulling forward again she just pulled forward and did a sharp turn. She has a nasty little scrape in her bumper down to the black plastic beneath the passenger-side headlight. Her passenger-side door was touching the doorway to the garage. I guided her out and nothing else happened, but it's still a stupid thing that happened. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-nono.gif[/IMG]

I know dude, three times so far and two have been her own fault. Me, only once and not my fault.
Sorry Natalia, but you gotta take it easy. Calm down and drive as if something is going to happen. Defensive driving baybee, that's what it's about.

i remember last summer i was drinking mad beer and cleaning my car out (hell its summer time, thats how you do it). So i was backing it down my drive way so i could pull around the folks car and bring it around back to wash it. Then while i was backing up, I was thinking to my self....humm where is the mailbox, I should have seen it by now.....then BAM i ran over the mail box, and left 2 vertical deep lines in my rear bumper.

I was thinking when it gets nice out, I was going to smooth it down, pop some bondo on it, let it try and re paint the marked area. I was going to order my paint color from www.paintscratch.com. They put factory oem paint in a spray can, and send you clear coat as well. Its worth a shot i guess.

Defensive driving doesn't happen in your driveway Meehow! Heck I made a similar mistake backing out of my driveway - now I'm the proud owner of a huge scratch on my driver's side bumper, right where it curves from the side to the front

It happens I guess... [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/IMG]
