That sucks Steve.

I'm not a big car guy but I have done some whoppers to myself on many occasions as I'm sure we all have.

My el camino is being painted as we speak.. it is a good/bad thing..  I will worry till I put the first scratch on it.  Still.. I won't get upset unless someone really dings it bad.

Healey is flat black..  I pile tools and stuff on it all the time.

Thats not all too funny a video Moeron....oh wait it is...LMAO :rofl :rofl

When I was a kid my mother forgot to put her car in park while getting the mail, she turned around just in time to see the car going down the driveway and center punch a 18"diameter tree, good thing the tree was there, otherwise the next stop was the nieghbors hot tub! Was a 77 mustang II so no great loss as far as the car goes. So Steve a little pain is no terrable loss, even though shes your baby, the car will forgive you.

I did a fair piece of damage to one of my vehicles recently too.  TxDad graciously fixed it, though.  And if he was upset with me about it, he sure didn't let it show.  I would have blown a gasket had I been in his shoes... since it was something stupid & preventable that knocked it out of commission, rendering it undrivable...

at least you didn't drive it into a large brightly painted stationary object (concrete pillar) at a mere 2mph.

Sorry about your car Steve. Damage to a product of labour of love always hurts. I think you've posted pictures of your Vette earlier, and if it's the one I'm thinking of it is a beauty.

At least you didn't neglect to set the parking brake, only to hear a horrible crash as you walked inside, and then wonder, for the briefest of moments, how a truck exactly like yours came to be wrapped around a tree in the back yard, inches from dropping 12 feet straight down into a lake. That was a very short lived thought, as I immediately realized, that wasn't like my truck, it was my truck.

That was my Sonoma SLE, hadn't even made the first payment. I sat in the yard and cried.

Bummer about your scratch.


ah  good times
