Snow Blower Versus Mustang
So I'm trying to water the grass outside but the hose isn't working despite looking straight down the end of it Keystone Cops style. The hose runs under the closed garage door, next to the Mustang and onto the faucet.
In the garage I go to investigate and I see the Mustang rear wheel is on the hose blocking the water flow.
Back in the house to get the keys (Getting fed up now), come back, unlock the car, open the door, knock it out of gear and push it forward a bit.
Walk round the back of the car to see it it's enough, which it isn't. Meanwhile, unnoticed by me, the door has pulled the classic Mustang trick of opening a further 25 degrees on that dumb-*** latch thingy.
So I try to push the car further forward from the rear of the car but it won't go 'cos it's kinda halfway on the hose and off the hose, so the car is rocking like 3 inches back and forth
Finally I get the hose released and go to shut the Mustang up and that's when I see the door edge has been grinding away on a sharp part of the snow blower [:@] it's taken about 1.5" of paint off to the bare metal, right off the edge at door handle height [:@]
Oh yea, deep joy. My mood was SOOOOO good for about an hour afterward, as you can imagine. It's not the damage as much as being angry with myself for being so DUMB
I've started to build up touch-up paint onto it and I may feel brave enough to fine wet-n-dry it at some point in an attempt to smooth it.
