Default Brief Panic!

I was out of town for the week, and came home to find this. Car is 1 month old, and house is 10 months old.

I would be more nervous with all of the shovels on the wall. Lol.

When I got my Porsche I removed all of the dent and scratch makers I had hanging on that wall. They now live in a shed.

Wow, looks like that light is holding on by only one fastener, and based on the one that failed, you are indeed fortunate. This is why I like to do my own car maintenance, but I sure can't do much on a 991.

But your car is gorgeous!

I still don't get this, maybe I am not understanding the thread.

But I dig the skis you have. Awesome...Love skiing.

What is up with your light, aren't you worried that it could fall on your awesome 911. Lol

I'm with you. I've looked at the photo trying to figure it out. What I see is:

- The light fixture is about to fall on the car.
- One of the wheels appears to be removed from the vehicle, sitting next to the wall.
- The front wheels are turned to the right; nobody parks like that. Did your wife take the car for a spin while you were gone?
- Your garage door is open. Did you leave your garage door open for a week while you were gone?

Any of those situations would cause brief panic for me. Please enlighten us!

Wow!

What is the light fixture next to the long fluorescent fixture? It looks like the garage door opener that is plugged into the outlet on the ceiling, but if it is where are the tracks for the door opener? Also it looks like a flat panel TV on the ceiling, what is that? Access door? and lastly why is there a wheel off of the car?

I am really glad that your car was not damaged. :-)

Cheers, Mark

This is like a mystery novel as we search for clues and we have to figure out who done it. Whoever drove that old Tahoe did it!

I don't know about anyone else, but I think the OP is an axe murderer and he needs a fast getaway car . . .

We gotta now find the bodies . . . .

The skis all appear to be nordic style. Where are the alpine skis?
Also, you need to replace the fluorescent light with a Big *** LED garage light.
