So Angry I could Cry

I washed the Jag today. Pulled it into the garage part way to dress the tires, clean the windows, spray with Quik Shine.

Then on to some yard work. I asked the Teenage boy to go to the front of he house and clean up the grass clippings from my edging. Instead, he went to the back drive way, swept up the drive way a little and walked back into the house and pressed the button to close the garage door. I head it closing and ran to the back screaming NOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Too late. The door came down and scraped off a a huge scratch on the back of my car.

I'll post a picture later. I can't bear to look at it right know. I thought I'd drink a Guiness and write this post since my wife doesn't understand my pain.

AARGGGGGGGGHHH!

I did that too on my NSX, but the garage hit the spoiler felt the resistance and went back up. No damage.

Thats just awful, I can understand your anger. I hate to get scrathes on my cars! Is it to bad to remove with some compounding?

sorry about the mishap. I'd be in pain too. I made a nice scratch on the bumper of my car with the garage door, but it's not in perfect condition and I didn't dread over it, and it's old. I do take care of her still. Now, if the car was in perfect condition, that would be a different story...

bill - did you get her info? dent is a dent, she just wants to avoid paying for it. Hopefully you have her info and take some action.
