My family moved on October 1st to North County San Diego.
We are still trying to get used to the house we are renting.

On the way to the house for lunch garage door doesn't open.
I park my car in the driveway and leave it running.
I go to the side door and it is key differently than the front and we don't have that key...
Next I go to the front door which we have set up with an additional chain lock for our son Josh (Autistic).
It takes a while but I get in open up the garage and go turn my car off.
It starts rolling down the driveway and bumps my wife's car.
Her bumper has a little action but the side of my car is a little worked...
Thank God nobody was hurt, but talk about a frustrating situation.

I wish I knew someone that liked doing minor body work.
Unfortunately I am going to have this reminder for a long time.
Thanks for listening.
 
John. congrats on your move, although you may think back and ask your self
"what was I thinking!"
ask Donnie Wang, he may know of someone who can help.
I look forward to speaking with you at the NEXT Bates!
 
I am really happy with the move so far.
Work is better and we are in a quieter location.
My wife and son are having a very hard time adjusting to a new environment.
Our 3 year old daughter is her normal diva self...
 
I've got a good paint and body guy if you need one. You're story reminds me of the time I backed my GSX into my T-Type. I didn't maintain my composure nearly as well as you did by the sound of things.

Wish you were closer John. I've got a hammer and dolly set and learned on my car. It's not done yet but it's not that hard to do. I've used it on some of the race cars that the guys have banged up in addition to mine so if you feel like trying your hand I'd be more than happy to start emailing some info on how to do the work.;)
 
Thanks Charlie, with the family and work commitments I won't be trying to develop this as a new skill any time soon.
 
Neal,

We need to connect, but I am not ready $ for a real body guy right now.
