I changed "clickers" from one door to the other; I pressed the correct button (on the other clicker, of course). The net result was that the other door lifted, I heard it go, did not look back and reversed right into mine.

I like to think that this happens to us all, but I hope I'm wrong.
You dont just get the gold medal, you also get the Platinum medal

lol, just kidding

My garage door track/rails are really old, and had become unattached. In a hurry to put it back up, I didn't secure the wooden piece it was attached to very well. It fell down, along w/ some heating pipe and of course, the LS400 was parked inside. Scuffed up the top of the door pretty good, and knocked a door ding too (on a black car , looks even worse). ScratchX did some good, but I'm still kicking myself.

To share the load, I was having some beers with the neighbor when I decided to close the garage door - I neglected to remember that my car wasn't in all the way. The door crunched down on the trunk and only mildly scrapped the paint. It buckled the garage door before it dented my trunk Now you feel better aye?

For those of you who didnt read my post...I cleaned the throttle body on my 91 LS, & no1 had the gasket for it plus I had to wait a week for it so I traced out my own with the right gasket material, but when i put it on I never made the cut-out for the throttle "flapper". Started the car fine, but hit the gas & she stalled & is still grounded to this day & still dunno wats wrong. Just bought it for $700!! 81000k, new tranny, alittle banged up, but ran nice b4 i did that. I havent driven it yet & just got it cuz i was tryin to be nice to her.
