OOPS!!!!(SORRY HONEY)

Well I did something really stupid this morning :oops:

, I was reversing to leave for work and forgot my wife's Altima was parked to the side I normally exit. So I'm turning the wheel and hear a scraping noise and think to my self what the heck is that noise :?:

, then I realized that it was my rear bumper hitting my wife's car. I put it in forward to assess the damage and was PO by what I did cuz i was half asleep going to work. Most of the damage was to the rear driver side door and a dent to my rear bumper. I was able to pop out the dent after work, but not so lucky with the wife's car. I used my trusty mag light to pop the dent back out, you see they can do more than hold peanut butter in place

. Oh well just thought I would share my big oops for the day, hopefully it's the last.

Here are the pics:

woops!!! bet the misses is a tad ticked? :?:

I did something similar not too long ago. I was working on another Jeep for a buddy in my driveway and had half the steering column apart, I figured out the part I needed and didn't feel like putting his Jeep back together to run and get the part (napa is all of 2 miles away), so I thought I had plenty of room to get my jeep out of my 1 car garage. I started to back out of my garage (the one night I didn't back in to park it) and realized i didn't have enough. Hopped out, and pushed the other jeep back some more, got back in, when to straighten out and drive right into the front of the garage..sounded just like I busted every lamp on the right front. I've just got a little white mark on the corner, and its ever so slightly indented where it hit, but all i did was move some plastic a bit....no biggie.....KJ plastic is tough!

Chris,

If you use a heat gun, you should be able to get rid of most of the discoloration on your libby and be able to push a little more of the dent out.

As long as the KJ is fine nothing else matters....we'll deal with infected ignored leg wounds later on.....JUST MAKE SURE THAT KJ IS OPERATIONAL!!!!! :wink:

Chris, it wasn't your fault. Your KJ saw an inferior vehicle nearby and took action to protect you from it. :mrgreen:

(Just imagine the carnage if it'd been a Frod Exploder instead of an Altima!) :-)r

I realize I am young and fairly inexperienced when it comes to women but I do know a few things about them:

1. They are always right regardless of how wrong they are and how right you are.
2. Don't argue you won't win, see above.
3. Don't bother with logic as they do not need or use it. see rule #1.

If I have offended any women out there, I apologize. You are right. I am wrong (see how easy that was guys-works everytime.)

I recommend blaming the childeren. My dad does it to me all the time. Works great. He gets out of it and my mom loves me too much to hit me.

If you had ESP on that KJ it would have avoided the "potential hazard" completely :wink:
