Note to self...... ALWAYS SET THE PARKING BRAKE!!!!!!

Lesson learned!! No one was hurt, no major damage (other than my pride). Shed did not fair so well.

It looked REALLY funny when it was sticking out of the shed. Wish I had taken a picture, but I was a little flustered as you can imagine.

Sincerely,
BONEHEAD

FWIW, Lowe's was surprisingly forgiving!

Doh!

Me thinks a bigger enclosure is needed to garage the wagon.

Oh man my stomach is turning!! I know you'll fix the wagon but still, ouch.

Just glad nobody was hurt.

-Mike

you'll have to give that wagon to some one a who's more responsible.....


I'll be there next week end .......

I'll trade you a really clean Oldsmobile for it....with a wild new stereo!

I never took pictures of the time I backed my Caprice into the one light pole in the entire parking lot. NEVER assume anything.

I am so sorry about your beautiful wagon,Tim!Will those scratches buff out or will repainting be
needed?How far did it coast before impact and did anyone say they didnt know these wagons
came with a 6 speed?

Thats funny!!



Jim, no comments from the Lowe's folks until I started it and then two could not hold back the smiles!!!

It is going to need some serious paint work. It is scratched pretty bad and dented on the center front pretty good. Initial estimates are between $850 and $1000 in repairs. Just glad I am not on the hook for a $424 shed as well!!.

Thanks Lowe's!!!

Tim

Whoa!!! Well...at least Lowes let you off the hook! Did the woodgrain survive?

Yes, it did not touch the wood, but it did tweak my polished trim just a little. I can fit that.

Ohhh, Tim..... that looks bad, sorry brother.

Weren't you the one I traded/sold the new e-brake cables too at WF....?

Your story helped pass the time while John and I were at the customs lounge waiting to get the sedan through. John sends his condolences.

Mike

I,m glad no one was standing in the way,.you,ll get it patched up and it,ll look just as good as it did,.

Nick

Wow glad everyone's ok

Thanks all, she will be patched up soon.

Aw, crap! Was the wagon just coasting or under power?

Well, at least nobody was hurt. And on the upside, one meddlesome shed learned that you don't mess with station wagons! (I'm sure that if the security tape were to be reviewed, you would find that the parking brake just sorta popped off when the shed started making faces at the wagon.)

Damn Tim, that sucks. Did it pop out of gear? At least it just hit the shed and not another car or something... Surprised Lowes was cool about it. That's good, at least.

Anyone need a shed? Discounted... 25% off! Lol

Yeah that sucks.

did lowes post the security video on youtube yet?

I would LOVE to see it!!

Glad wagon wasn't damaged any worse than it was. Now then, doesn't the wagon know it will not fit in the box a SMART car came in?

LOL....

At what Lowe's store did you have the incident? What time? What Day?

Did you fix the parking brake yet?

Mike

Paking brake works fine. The idiot driving is the problem. It happened Friday late morning last week in Maryland.

Where in Maryland? Details man, details!

Glenn Beck seems to be taking after Tim!

OK we NEED to hear more about this store. It might make me look smart again!!!!

Or when I was chasing my f150 down a very steep incline the door got ripped off.

Tell us more....

OK Tim so it was me my brother and my wifewhen we first met. We decided to go fishing at a spot my brother knew of on a calmer part of the Susquehanna near shamokin damn. It was a nice place but after about three hours and no bites we decided to go swimming. I wanted some tunes so I decided to back the car up closer to the river as I was parked 100 feet away and the stockstereo was horrible. I sat in the car and left my left leg hang out and the door open. It was a rocky river bank and my foot got cought or something because I wound up under the car with my hand on the brake nd the rearend of it partially in water. My wife and brother just stood there in shock untill i asked them to please get this pos off me.
You feel better or should i tell you about how i sunk the ss. Bronco

Tim, you shouldn't make fun of Brother Crovo like that! Specially since he let you drive his Caddy. Maybe he'll rethink it after this. Glad the damage is cosmetic and all are safe.....'tis but a scratch.

I move for no shed!



Or, can we call you two sheds Tim?

No Jon, because then I could never go back to Lowes!!

I was getting ready to take the car in for paint last weekend and on Saturday night I got an e-mail from MTRHEAD79 that he found one. He was gracious enough to pick it up on Sunday. I got it from him yesterday and put it on for the ride home.





I will switch the grilles and the hood pad today (I hope).

Thanks John!!

Phew......................when I first saw the title, I'm thinking, no not again.

Tom C.

Hahaha, I thought someone had lost another car too.

Remind me to never loan you my wagons!

tim, you can fit a hood in the back of a wagon

Looks good Tim! Needs the Buick grill back for sure.

Not with all my work junk in it you can't!! Besides I would have missed all the goofy looks I got with the hood off in NE Philly and the sail on the top on the turnpike on the way home.

DONE!! Great to see you Tim. LMK if you want to come to Carlisle.

Tim you looking to get rid of that SS grille? I know a guy who needs it. <_<

>_>

Sorry Ray I am going to hold on to it for future sheds er issues for the impala SS.

Its probably better that it hit that shed. It kind of acted like crumple zone and absorbed the impact a bit. If it hit the pole behind the shed that would have been bad.

You got that right. Fixed now anyway. e-brake rebuilt and working fab-a-mundo!!
