Default Driveways aren't safe anymore...

I got home from work and parked the car in the driveway. I go to my room watch TV and start to zone out. Now my driver side door has a pretty good dent and helped me find out there was previous work done to my car.

My dumb *** sister backed into my car with the truck. She claims to have checked the mirrors while reversing but failed to see my car. She claims it was "because it's dark out there and the car is dark too" I was well the truck has lights and makes the darkness go away. I guess I will need a new door and I will hand her the damn bill once it's done.

it's only a year and 1/2 old, if that. I guess I can just get a new front bumper and get rid of the VISspeed one I have on there. If I am going to be doing body work again.

Wow, you haven't even had the car that long. I get super paranoid when my parents and friends park near my car. Now my car gets to stay in the garage, but I'm still kind of paranoid.

Ouch man that sucks. That's exactly why I NEVER park anywhere close to my brother. He's a new driver, he doesn't have a job yet and he can't park to save his life.

That comment cracks me up. Sorry to hear of the mishap, but what can you do? She's your sister. I know you still wanted to kill her tho, heheh.
