now since this garage door is an "overhead door" brand, the cost for fixing it is $500......now I wished the whole door would've dropped on his car....then his vehicle insurance would've had to pay and I would've gotten a new complete replacement door....I'm going to work his butt off for this one
Think that's bad? Many years ago I came home on Sunday night about the time my dad was going to be leaving to play his Sunday night hockey game so I thought I would open the garage door for him. Well.....he thought I closed it so when he got into his brand new Explorer he hit the garage remote closing the door and the proceeded to back his two week old Explorer through the garage door.

Needless to say I had all I could do not to laugh.

There was an old Chevy at Walmart last week that had spray foam in the rust holes on the cab corners.

The foam was even painted red to match the truck.

Cheap and effective, just a little too "klassy" for a nice truck. Great for an old beater I'd think though

I'm getting some good ideas from these posts. Might open up a paint and body shop.
