DUMBEST Accident You've Ever Had

[BYprodriver]

I guess mine was soon after I got my 1st car, a 1971 Firebird Formula with a transplanted 455 engine, missing carpet & console $1,000. I was 17 & spent all day cleaning & waxing it in preparation for my 1st date with the car. While backing out of my parents garage to go pickup my date, I had the drivers door open. I forget why but probably listening for some noise, the drivers door hit the wall & bent back into the front fender. I almost drove it that way but decided I better call her & have her drive her car. Some what good outcome was a couple months later I had enough money to have Maaco fix damage & paint the whole car. :ah:

Funny, I did the same thing with mt '65 Mustangs backing into the garage. Luckily I stopped before I completely folded the door back!

I had another incident with my first car, a '69 Mustang. I went blazing into the driveway too fast, didn't make the turn, and ran the front end straight up onto a boulder. The car was mostly OK, but the hit was hard enough to make the 302's timing chain skip a few teeth.
