In high school we did lots of dumb stuff. We're at my friend's house one night and got super hungry and decided to get some food. Well, in our excitement, we jumped in the car (90's SAAB Turbo) opened the garage and flew backing out of the driveway..... right into his brother's friend's Explorer

Did a decent amount of damage to the SAAB, and pushed the Explorer straight back about 2 feet.

Don't worry about it. **** happens.

Once, while my brain was on fart, I attempted a u-turn in my driveway and clipped my wife's front bumper (no damage to her car) and put a nice crease in the quarter panel of my car right past the door...and of course on the drivers side just so I could see it every damn time I got in.

And yes, my day was instantly ruined.

It's actually kind of funny...and someday you'll look back and laugh at this!

Sorry to hear about both your cars. Accident do happen unfortunately.

When I was a senior in High School... a buddy did the classic...

He was at his girlfriend's place (we were all there) left to go get something from his house, put his Bronco in reverse, looked out the back of the vehicle and gave it some gas...

oops... it's not in reverse, it's in drive... and he went through the garage door and into the homeowner's car...

The homeowner happened to be a CHP officer.

I did that when I was learning to drive. Backed into a spot with mom's Forester. Went to pull forward and was still in reverse, came a few feet from running into a good sized wooden guard rail.

1st day I brought the Focus home. I had already parked the car and my Wife wanted to go for a drive..we jump in the car and I totally forgot the car was a manual and I released the clutch and hit the car in front me..good thing I owned that car too.
