Shelby-Don Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 We'll the other day I came home to find that my mother in-law had backed into our garage door damaging 3 of the 4 panels with the bottom panel just holding on at the wheels (screws pulled out of both hinges). Of coarse she didn't give us any fore warning not to open the door when we got home. I just about came unglued when my wife opened the door and asked what had happened to the door because it made an awfull sound when opening. Now I'm afraid to open the door again and get my car out just in case the panel happens to fall on my car. The insurance company has been notified but hasn't come out to take a look or authorize repairs. Nice weather this week and my car is trapped ! :angry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My monster-in-law would do something like that on purpose just because she's a hateful b***h! I've already told the story of how my farter-in-law dropped a basket ball goal on the hood of my 96 Z-28 from the top of the house and then just left it for me to fix.

sdear Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 I would be out there putting up a cage around my car lol. That is my biggest fear...the garage door.....I always make sure it's up...and staying up ..before I pull in. The thought of the door coming down on my car gives me the heeeebie jeeeebies. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shelbydream1 Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 Thnx , I had just cleaned her and had to get some pics!!!!!!!! Not to hijack the thread, but it does look great Frankie-what did you use on it?? As far as the garage door-amen on stopping her progress and missing the car. Leave it to the mother-in-law to damage the panel behind the Shelby instead of your work car!!! Coincidentally, I saw a bumper sticker today you should get now, though. It said "Be kind to strangers-don't kill your in-laws!" :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
