Post ..I did a stupid thing..

Yesterday ,I was in my garage getting ready to go, I was inside the car the door open, the car turned off..; I was putting some bags in the rear passenger seat, when, one of the bags touch the hand break button (thinking that the car was in first gear!), this one goes down, and while the car started to go backwards very slowly <img src="graemlins/c.gif" border="0" alt="[ouch]" /> .., i didn't realize anything !'cause i was still putting those bags in the back ...when BAM! The car was stopped against a piece of iron in my garage!.. <img src="graemlins/c.gif" border="0" alt="[ouch]" /> <img src="graemlins/c.gif" border="0" alt="[ouch]" /> <img src="graemlins/c.gif" border="0" alt="[ouch]" />
Now i can't open the door from the outside!!here's the result <img src="graemlins/c.gif" border="0" alt="[ouch]" />

This is a bad luck and a 500US$ to get fixed...
In fact they have to change the lock(?), and repare that hole in the door.. <img src="graemlins/c.gif" border="0" alt="[ouch]" />
