Saturday morning, I get an email approval to start trapping at a cat colony in my neighborhood. I was SO excited! Loaded the car and headed out. Realized I left one thing in the driveway; went back; pulled in the driveway; and jumped out to get the item. I LEFT THE CAR IN DRIVE! I never put it in Park. I turn around and there goes the car, UP hill, right past me, and into the closed garage door. :rolleyes:

Later, I locate a dealer for the door manufacturer, call, and explain what happened. The very nice woman says "well, there is only ONE model that they have stopped making; which model do you have?" Can you guess? :eek:

Geesh!

:rolleyes:

Maybe the store with the NEW garage doors will make a donation for the cat rescue....

You poor girl!

[Killearn Kitties]

Oh dear, how embarrassing! :eek:
No-one was hurt, that's all you can say really! :D

I turn around and there goes the car,
UP hill, right past me,
and into the closed garage door. :rolleyes:

Oooooopsie!

Don'cha just HATE when dat happens?

:p

[kimlovescats]

YIKES!!! Sounds like something I would do! I'm glad no one was hurt! At least your car isn't damaged??? (looking on the brighter side) ;)

[lizbud]

Wow, you were excited by the good news weren't you? :D I can't
help but laugh a little bit. Sorry about the garage door. Don't make
them anymore huh :( I'm glad you weren't hurt.

[critter crazy]

he he he he he he!! My SIL just backed into hers!! He he he he he!:D

[Daisy and Delilah]

Sorry about that, Sandie. It reminds me of the day I backed into the house with my brand new car about 5 years ago. :(

I hope you get a replacement somehow and get it fixed.

This is the 4th colony I've trapped; I wonder how long before the excitement wears off???

No damage to the car, or any one else. Just that door.

The repair man comes tomorrow (Monday) afternoon to tell us his thoughts on the situation. The receptionist said they have ONE panel; if I need two, I'll have to get a new door.

So Dad kept busy today working on it, made THREE trips to Home Depot (he LOVES it there!) and is hoping we will only need one panel.

I feel like such an idiot!

Aww Sandra, nevermind, at least it didn't run over your toes aswell!!!
It's very handy having somebody around that can do DIY , I have my dad too, thank goodness! :)

[lvpets2002]

;) Oh No Sandra.. At least you was not hurt.. Well the crinkle look on your garage door is not a bad look.. You can call it a new design.. :D

[Miss Z]

BIG OOPS! :p

Silly things happen to us all, it's just an unfortunate occurance! But the discontinuation of the door make, well that's just sod's law...

Hopefully it'll get fixed swiftly and easily.

Rather inoscent compaired to the 3 stationary things I've hit this month. :o

[Freedom]

Repair man said "it can't be fixed." Need a new door, estimate $525. :eek:

Dad spent $24.95 (plus gas for his 3 trips to Home Depot) and it is almost finished. He repaired it. :)

[CathyBogart]

Dads are often great like that. :D I'm glad it's getting fixed for you.

I used to have a corvette, and the first time I drove it, I drove into the garage and hit a huge metal cabinet. D'oh!
