My wife ran into the garage, AGAIN!

[lobadobadingdong]

that's like trying to walk through a closed door. how goofy is that? maybe you should get a big mirror to put on the wall opposite the garage door too.

now its your turn to drive your "car" into her "garage". 😉

Update

Well, I got a quote to repair/replace the garage door.

$935 to repair
$898 to replace

I'm going to try to get a couple more quotes before making a decision.

Anyone think that quote is way off?

 

[maddogchen]

it takes more to repair than to replace, ouch.

Yeah.

It turns out 3 of the 4 sections are damaged. There's damage to the section that has the windows in it. It's the most expensive piece and that drives the cost up.

At least that is what I was told.

How did she pass the driving test?

When you're replacing, you can save man-hours by utterly destroying the old one in the process of removing it. When repairing, you have to be nice to the surviving parts.

I don't know about you, but 3 right turns, a 3-point box turn and parallel parking a small car in a 26ft space isn't terribly difficult.

Ime, all I can say is that I hope she has large breasts to make up for the driving skillz😀

Nope, but she's a really sweet and beautiful filipino girl! :evil:

Yup the window section is by far the most expensive, infact it cost almost as much as all of the other sections combined, at least that was the case for my garage and a friends garage. You should think about not getting windows for the new garage door, since she will probably break that one too. This will save hundreds of dollars.

That and you get ride of the lights so she will have to open the door if she wants to see anything.

Anyway, this time she was in hurry. So she hopped into her car, put it into reverse and slammed on the gas. Only the garage door was still closed! You can imagine the results.

I hope your wife is really, REALLY hot.

Yep! The lumpia remark gave it away, huh?

I'm white and she's filipino.

Back in HS I was good friends with a Filipino guy. Between his mother and sister they had about 5 parked cars and a brick wall under their belts, and that's just what he heard about and related to me. To be fair though, women of all kinds can't drive for siht.

Edit: Whoops, almost forgot the obligatory pic of Ime's garage 😀

How incompetant do you have to be to not realize that the garage dor is closed. You have to be in the garage to get in the car so you don't notice that it's dark ad you can't see outside?

Man, I'd enroll your wife in some Common Sense courses a the local elementray school. Maybe they can teach her that when a door is closed you can't go through it.

Or maybe she's been in some quantum physics courses and she was trying to go through the door by circumventing time and space...

Actually when you have windows isn't dark in the garage in the morning, at least for my garage it isn't

She sounds like a wreakless driver... does she not even look through the rearview mirror before backing up? What if there was somebody behind her... yes, i know she was in the garage, and there wouldn't be anybody there, but that sort of behavior should be instinctive.

You'd think!

I drive us everwhere. Whenever I'm a passenger and she's driving it's white-knuckle terror!

LOL you sound pretty non-chalant about this.

As the old Chinese saying goes "All the big problems in the world could have been solved when they were little problems." Now, you don't always recognize a problem that will become severe, but are you going to wait until she hits a cart with a child in the childseat in the parking lot before seeing this as a serious problem?

Well, if I got mad everytime my wife did something I thought was wrong I'd be mad at her all the time.

I think she learned her lesson about backing up now. Especially since I'm going to tease her about it mercilessly for the next 6 months. 😀

In her defense, she's never hit another car (she's been hit several times though) or person. She just seems to have this thing about hitting deer and walls/doors/pillars.

How did a deer end up in your garage? 😛

:laugh:

The deer kind of ran into her. She was doing 45 and the deer jumped out of the woods and ran into her driver's side door. Musta been suicidal!
