From the looks of that garage, this is someone who takes cars very seriously. Bet it comes out of the poor kid’s allowance.

I can somewhat sympathize, my eldest kid frequently forgets to close his door - luckily I lack a garage on which to shear it off.

I’m struggling to care. Like, I enjoy laughing at the stupid mistakes of others, but…meh. A minor inconvenience to someone who will probably blame their mistake on someone else.

In my experience, there are way too many insufficiently idiot-proof products out there.

I fear what a sufficiently idiot proof product would look like.

I may or may not have backed-out of my garage with my own door open once…

(car was ok but I put a big dent in the fridge that was there…)

I fear what it would sound like. If the driver opened the door with the motor running, my parents’ Nissan Maxima would constantly say, “Door is ajar.” It used to really annoy us. Now, I can imagine an upgraded Tesla model saying, “I told you so!”

That caught my attention. Anyone who has a car lift and a 1965 Mustang convertible has admirable car goals.

Man you think Mr. Frumble is having a bad day, I’m more concerned about what that Butcher does on a good day.

I’d imagine the next 23 seconds were more interesting.

That would make it harder to ghost ride the whip though.

Encased in a concrete tomb, six feet down.

Or is that too dark?

my shitty honda minivan beeps like crazy if you put it in drive with the sliding doors open or with the tailgate up. Such a simple and obvious thing to have
