A different kind of accident.

After I got home and parked my car nicely in my garage, I hopped out and realized my car was sliding. Of course I did not want it to slide out and hit somebody, so I opened my driver side door. It was a wrong move... terribly terribly wrong. My fingers were stuck in between the dry wall and my door, and I couldn't feel a thing. Then I tried my hardest to reach my handbrake and pulled it up. I tried to reach to ignition, and I pulled so hard that the knob came off. I had to yell like a baby to get my wife out and start the car for me. The most painful moment was engaging the clutch, put in first gear (by my wife) and smashed the gas.

I am thankful that only my fingers are slightly injured because of the soft dry wall, which has a huge hole on it with the shape of my fist. Also my arm was an inch away from the garage door frame, otherwise my arm is gone.

check with a paintless dent repair place. locally it seems like for 50-60 you can get things like that fixed.

it's scary when your car starts moving and you're not in it. few years ago my teggy was rolling down the driveway and i was barely able to jump in it and hit the break. i was in super panic mode!!!
