I think I have given the phrase "Breaking it in" a whole new meaning.
My dad has already told me almost every day that I am never going to live this down and since my neighbor across the street has decided to call me "CRASH" I figured I might as well blog about it.
I sold my car in September and until I find me a salary paying job I won't be buying another one. Thankfully Mom and Dad have kept Tamar/Kaylee's old car and I am lucky to be able to use it to get to and from work everyday. We have decided to keep it parked in the garage because supposedly we aren't supposed to park cars on the street over night. I don't know.
(I really think it is because it is an eye sore and my parents don't want it in front of the house.)
I really have no explanation as to how this happened or what I was paying attention to so I won't even try to explain to you what happened. I still am not sure. All I know is that the other day I went to back the car out of the garage and then out of the driveway like I do every morning, when the front corner of my car decided to get in a fight with the corner of the garage. It turned way to soon and since this car is a beast and made out of solid steel the poor house really had no chance. If it was any other car the house may have had some hope, but needless to say the house couldn't do anything to protect itself.

Here is a front view of the car. You really can't tell anything happened to it. It is very pleased to look just like it did before it met the corner of the garage.
But here is the house (edge of the garage)
Unfortunately it wasn't so lucky.
It actually looks a little bit better and a little bit worse than when it first happened. The car pulled the edge of the garage out a few inches so it was crooked. My Dad worked at it a little and now it is straight, but missing more stucco and wood. =( Are there any stucco and brick repair men out there?
I have always heard that things are better and more comfortable after they are broken in a little.
Mom and Dad I was just doing my part to help this house feel more like home.
I'm really sorry, but you are welcome =).

You didn't mention the noise it now makes. Tge house feels more like ours now. I am now wondering if we should get Krash Kart racing so you can learn to drive better.
I think that a little ribbing is in order.
The Volvo is still running??? Holy cow. What a car. I can't rib you about anything. I'd get WAY too much thrown back at me by multiple parties. Call me if nobody is sympathetic. :)
Of couse the Volvo is still running, the thing is a tank! It can hit a house and not look any worse for the wear!
Hahaha!! I love it Shayla. My favorite part is that you're still in a volvo. Glad to hear you'll be very safe in that car.
excuse me but my car is NOT an eye sore! if you dont like it you can always send it my way, i could use it up here =]
When I was about 17 I ran my mom's minivan into the house. Not even kidding. Good thing it was just into a brick column and didn't really do any damage to the house. However, the minivan wasn't so lucky. The whole front, driver side of the car was smashed in. It was TOTALED! It happened cause I was driving into the driveway and I was barefoot (I was coming home from dance and my feet were a bit dirty) and my foot slipped off the break onto the gas pedal. Immediately I got on the phone with my parents and calmly said, "Umm...you should come home NOW!" It's funny now! Probably my most embarrassing story to date...since a bunch of my neighbors witnessed it! :)
