what a way to start the day.. this morning the wife gets up early says shes goin to the store for milk, and cream.. i say watch out for the merc i had to park close to you last night because you parked in the middle of the driveway again. she says dont worry! 20 minutes later comes in and says your gonna kill me! but its not that bad! anyway the door of my just painted , just scalloped (with non matchable colors i might add) chopped 51 merc is completely caved in.. ANYONE GOT A MERC LEFT DOOR... all i can do as i try to keep my trembling hands from ending her life is say, that didnt just really happen
Is her name Jennifer? My ex-wife managed to cave in the door of my new truck the first day I got it...she insisted on driving it that night and hit a pole in a bank parking lot. Don't miss that bitch one bit!!!
My wife scraped up the side of my brand new 1970 Duster 340 then got mad at me 'cause I was watching the Chiefs beat the Vikings in the Superbowl and wouldn't go look at the car till halftime.
My wife, also Jennifer, backed into my truck hard the day before we left for Goodguys Indy a few years back. I was pretty pissed.
Wow man that really sucks...I have so many smartass jokes about it yet I feel your pain....must hold back... Try calling Jared in Rhode Island. He seems to know where lots of good parts are hiding. He did find a chopped merc in a junkyard afterall! T
My heart goes out to you. I can't imagine what I would do or how I'd feel if something like that just happened to Big Olds with his fresh paint. I feel pretty bad for your wife too. I bet she feels AWFUL and could probley use a hug right now.
Did the giant car just jump out in front of her? I think there's more than a little passive-aggression going on there- did you buy her something when you took the car to get painted?
My wife came by my work one day to take me to lunch with her and the kids...cool. As I'm sitting at my desk in the service drive looking down at some paperwork I hear a crunching noise. I look up to see my wife side swipe our 2 year old minivan on the post and doorframe of the service drive . I've had little old ladys pull suburbans thru the same door. Her excuse was she was "fussing" at the kids . I did not get up from my desk for 10 min. I was so furious! I have come to realize to her a car is just a transportation tool. Some are cooler than others and she apreciates them to some degree, but they are at the bottom of her list. G.M.B.
That is really sad..........but do not.......under any circumstances KILL HER.... Jail is worse. On the bright side...........at least it is only the door....not the 1/4 panel. That would really be worse. Years ago, my girl friend JUST HAD to drive my new 1972 Trans Am. So I let her, against my better judgement. She could be VERY persuasive... When she wanted to be........ so she drove it alone, by herself .....without incident. When she left .......she backed right into it.........right where she parked it ....in a big yard with nothing else around.......
The back of my old lady's car looks like the bottom of a well ridden sketeboard. She has backed into 2 of my buddys' trucks in the driveway, some other car at the vet office, and a pole in the parking lot at work. Her mom backed into the side of her car too, so it must run in the family. Of course none of it was her fault....and she wonders why she doesn't get to drive my shit. She said the same thing about the bed side of silent Lance's truck. It was completely caved in too! I can't figure out what part of that "isn't that bad". Man that really sucks.
Just be glad it wasn't a few more inches to the back. WOuld be a pain to replace a door AND have to straighten a b pillar. I have to say my wife would be owing me a lot of "favors"
Dave that really sucks, I feel for you. My wife's name's not Jennifer but she managed to drive over one of my fender skirts as she was pulling in the driveway. Fender skirts for a '54 Chevy are cheap, doors for a 'Merc aren't.
Damn it Dave.....thats sucks hardcore!! I feel for you.... Love is strong isnt it?? Should have left it in primer....lol Dirty
passive!? it looks like she took to the fucking thing with a sledge-hammer! mate, i'm feeling for ya. beautiful car, mind you...
My wife wrecked my best Freshly Painted Cushman motorscooter about 2 minutes after I told her to be very careful about using the front brake in the gravel. She is now the ex-wife Wimmen should not be allowed to drive unless they have a note from their husband saying she is going to get him something
On the bright side.... this could be your "get out of jail free card" for the rest of your life. Wife: "Why is there a midget hooker tied to our bed?" Your reply: "MERC DOOR!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Fuck off Manyolcars. I can cite just as many boneheaded incidents of dudes. My brother has a million. Some can drive... some can't. I don't have to have a peter to out drive you. Sorry for rant... manyolcars pissed me off... I'd be way pissed at someone who did that to my merc if it was me...
Dave, man that sucks! Sorry to see that for sure.. At least ya know how to fix it...think about the guy's who have to pay to have it done..again.
Thanks for making me squirt hot coffey out of my nose at work.... my wife (God Bless her) has been in two accidents in one day then came home only to close the garage door on my 55 hood.....I just looked at her and asked how her day was... sometimes you just got to give em a pass...
