more than just a bruised ego . . .

OK. I just ruined my last remaining nice possession. STUPID!

I ruined my car. Well, not exactly so it isn't functional anymore, just so it looks like sh*t now.

Let me explain. My garage is about two feet wide. Yes, that is an exaggeration, but still, it barely leaves enough room for me to open the door of my car when I'm inside. Usually to get out of the driveway in the morning I have to cut the corner short and come within an inch of damaging my front right headlight to go down the driveway. (Not that that makes any difference now . . . ) And I am prevented from having a nice turn because my roommate is usually parked so as to make a nice little "hallway" for me to snake my way through. So this morning, since no one was in the offending spot I decided to do a nice WIDE turn.

*Good idea Liz.*

Well, it turns out that it wasn't a really good idea and I heard a soft crunching noise. When I turned to look back (mortified) I saw a nice bite out of the garage doorway. And I could only imagine what I had just done to my car.

I won't lie to you, some vulgarities were used. By me. Repeatedly. I checked my car and there were some nice long scratch marks and some nice brown "bruises" along the whole right side. Brilliant. Again with the vulgarities.

So anyway, I tried to determine if the "bruises" were extra paint added ON to my car, or if they were paint taken OFF from my car. But that is yet to be determined.

One thing is for certain though. I feel like a complete idiot and will probably beat myself up for this for a long time.

I hope that it did not do too much damage cause it would suck to drive a car with scratches and paint all over it.
