That's a funny video, but you do realize that it's not real, right?
Air bag sensors don't work like that...

Backing into parked cars and closed garage doors?? You guys must suck at driving! j/k!!
I've only ever backed into one parked car in my life! I was driving my dad's van, and the car I bumped was some old 60's yacht. Left a little dent in the van's bumper, but the old car was only left with a clean spot on it's bumper!

Congratulations. I think everyone at 986forum should honor you with the award as "best driver here".

Hi,
Sorry to hear of your troubles. The only thing I've ever hit was the Rev Limiter... 
I think we need some photos of your assistant pointing out the damages, be sure she checks underneath!...
Happy Motoring!... Jim

Cartagena, you need to come clean and fess-up! You drove over KronixSpeed...didn't you? That's how you damaged the front bumper.

Now when you get that car all repaired and looking nice, it wil need to be detailed, right?
Are you girl friends going to help?
Can you send up pix?
Thanks in advance!

Ideas to prevent a reoccurance.

A concrete wall ASTM C-90 reinforced with #5 rebars @ 24" o.c for seismic conditions as you have in Colombia your car would not be able to penetrate or break the wall. My recommendation are as follow:
1/ Raze the subpar garage rebuild properly using seismic construction. No shortcuts.
2/ Before engaging car engage brain.
3/ Get a manual car.
4/ Remedial driving course.
5/ Buy the book; Parking for Dummies 3rd Edition.
6/ Take two aspirins.
7/ Write a big check for the repair shop. Muchos pesos!

Why are you driving a sports car with sandals? That is just not safe at all by anymeans.

Yes, the wall is made of blocks. If it was solid concrete then the car would have been much more damaged so this is a bad idea. To repair the wall will probaly cost $20, the car is going to be about $2000.

That is funny you mentioned that since two of them cleaned off the paint on the bumper while wearing bikinis. I did not think to photograph it. Several have came over to offer their comfort as well.

Yep, we can see his intelligence shining out through his writing style. It is from the bad schools up in Canada.

986Roadster, taking enjoyment in someone else's misfortune is pretty low IMHO. Maybe you need to readjust your thinking.
