OK, as I stated in another thread my wife made a minor mistake today.... Now for a better one to share....

As she was driving down a twisty road in the rain exceeding the speed limit and talking with her sister in the passenger seat. She noticed while making a downhill decreasing raduis right turn that the back end started to slide, my description not hers. Her discription was that there was some thing wrong with the car, oh that must be the tires are bad and my husband needs to fix that.

On with the story...

So the car is sliding, she turns the steering wheel to "correct" then the other way to "correct". Mind you I taught her to drive in the snow by making turns in a wide open parking lot pulling the e-brake to make her learn how to correct a slide. Then comes the kicker. As she tries to correct both ways.... She then remembers the song "Jesus take the Wheel"... Oh yeah you guessed it SHE LET GO OF THE STEERING WHEEL!

As the car spun out of control....hmmm wonder why.... the drivers side rear quarter panel took out a fence post. Thankfully I did not have to fix the fence post....Or catch the guys cows, goats, or kids.....

Turns out the fence post and land belongs to the grandpa of a guy I work with, and yeah I told him how it happened! I pounded the large dents out with a sledge hammer.

It has some battle scars, and a daily reminder for the driver.

That is the BEST story of my time so far. Lets hear yours.

The wife runs the car into garage door. One week later the wife closes garage door on the back of the car.

She never did!...She drove like a grand mother...Never even had a parking ticket.

i let my wife take my long bed silverado to get a recliner, at this time i had a broken leg and was living on the couch........to make a long story short, she wrapped the truck around 1 of those concrete poles........you know those poles to keep you away from damaging property.........the best is when i saw the truck and asked her how it happened and she replied.........i wondered what was making all that noise at the storage unit yesterday..........i just rolled my eyes and walked away.........nothing new.........

mine pulled the car too far into the garage and hit the freezer door. The door was smashed so badly I couldn't salvage the freezer.

The door must have been mad at the car for hitting it.
