Re: Ouch!

I watched my neighbour back out of their two car garage where they were parked in the centre into a light poll six or so feet away from their driveway.

She must've been flooring it though, jeez!

Re: Ouch!

She needs to learn from my mom and slow down and watch when backing out.

We have a two car garage whewre my parents park. I park on the driveway on the same side as my mom. I don't park on the other side because a tree hovers over the driveway, which would leave my car constantly covered in bird poop. Back when I had my Explorer, my mom was backing out one day and, with the passenger side mirror, made an 18-inch long dent and scratch down my rear quarter panel. How she did not notice she was doing that I will never know.

Following this, she started backing out some, pulled forward and to the left, and then continued to reverse. One day, she pulled waaaaay too far forward and destroyed our lawn mower. Once again, how she managed that I will never know.

Luckily she has slowed down and not hit anything since then.

Sorry to hear about the damage. I hate to see a car as awesome as a Z4 get torn up.
