What's the stupidest car damage you've ever done to your own car?

Bants, I can't believe you did that! Whack your parents car with a hammer? (did you get the mouse?)

Nope I think it turned into mush

South Carolina, despite the name, can have icy winters. A few years ago I went out to start the car and slid about on all fours to get to the car. Determined to get to work, I started the car and slid my way back into the house to let the car get warm while I finished dressing for work.

Meanwhile my husband comes home from work with a newly-issued Highway Patrol car. He parks it at the end of our short driveway so I would have plenty of room to back out. To our amazement, as we looked out the window to admire the racy patrol car, my Neon began a slow slide down the slick pavement right toward the new car. Like an arrow to a target the Neon continues to slide toward the police car and somehow gain speed as unmoving wheels acted like runners on a sled.

Horrified, we watched the Neon's rear bumper smash against the front wheel well of the new car with a sickening crunch. The police car immediately complained with a loud braying of sirens and flashing lights. My husband calmed down when he realized I had the car in park and I mentioned 'somebody' might have pushed the Neon when sliding past to get into the house. His CO was not too happy but had to laugh when he heard the details.

I did get to work that day-in my Jeep with giant tires made for bad weather and a winch to pull itself out of trouble.

Best car crash story ever.

I'm thinking the police cruiser was made of magnetic metal and the Neon couldn't help it.

Took the passenger side mirror off when I backed into the kids portable basketball goal. Well, it didn't come off all the way. It was an electric mirror so it sort of hung there from the wires looking sad and too obvious to ignore. Saddest part was for a week before DH kept telling me not to "hurt" the car when I got home(I was driving OTR at the time)

Sad truth is I can back up 73" feet of truck and trailer blindfolded and never hit a thing. Can't back up a car to save my life!

My first car was a '67 Chrysler Newport. It was a tank. One night I was trying to manuever out of a tight parking lot behind the theatre. No power steering - going back and forth, back & forth.....finally in a position to get out of there when the front corner of the tank hit the edge of the building and knocked out a whole cinderblock - I froze for a few minutes, when no one noticed, I drove home and checked my car - nothing! I brushed of the cinderblock crumbs off the chrome and went to bed.
