My friend just did this with his Maxima. Came home from a nice long trip, zips into the garage and puts both bikes thru the back window. He said it sounded like a gunshot going off and suddenly there were bikes...

Good luck with that.

 

So, unfortunately this is covered under my collision deductible and not my comp coverage, which means I'm responsible for $1000. Ugh. I'm going to Superior Auto for the work (thanks for the Kreative Kustoms recommendation, but I can't have the car repaired in San Jose while I live in San Francisco).

 

Sorry to hear about this. I know its too late in this instance, but something people might consider doing in the future is whenever you put bikes on your rack, immediately place your garage door opener in the trunk of your car. If you have a Homelink system (or any gdo that cannot be easily removed), unplug your gdo from inside the garage. Either way, when you return home and instinctively go to open the garage door, you won't be able to. Hopefully that will trigger your brain to remember what's on the roof.

Hope that helps.

^^^^ Thats actually an excellent idea. I'll be doing that from now on.

 

damn, that sucks. were you smokin crack when you decided to drive in your garage with the bike still on the roof? lol yikes.

 

Whoa!

 

No crack, just tired and not paying attention.

My bike, fortunately, appears only to have a flat rear tire.

 

time to make it a track car!

 

good idea....
it happened to me once too...luckily very very minmal damage...nobody knows untill now.

 

Its alright man, we all make mistakes. I messed up my car too. NOt as bad, of course. I thought I could squeeze out my driveway with my garbage can on the left and my dads car on the right. It was a very tight space. I went out slow enough till the garbage can was right up against my driver side mirror. Since i was a lazy bum, I decided to roll down the window and push it off. Next thing you know the can rocks back slammin right on my door. Left two huge dings and chipped the paint! DOH!

 

ooooohhh, a hurt your own Suby thread?

a few years back ( a few weeks after purchase ) i was parking at the upper lever=l of Hillsdale mall... went to swing to the right to makew it into a parking spot on the left, and went over a curb, destroying to passenger side link to my front sway bar

 

it might be a good idea to pick up a used wing/trunk for less than $600. the used one might even blend into the car better since it wont look too shiny and new.

 

One temporary lapse in memory and bam.....

I know this is something I would be capable of given the right circumstances.....(wife non-stop biatching for one)

Sorry to hear about the car

 

OUCH....sorry to hear that
