Wall mounted cabinet 1, Carrera 0
 

Just recently closed on our house, which has wall mounted cabinets throughout the garage. Wife was pulling a towel out of a cabinet this morning and the entire cabinet fell onto the hood of my car. It was just mounted into the dry wall, which is simply retarded. Have a few good size dents in the hood, and paint is scuffed up pretty bad in a few spots. Pretty livid, but what can I do...

Wife has bad luck in the garage, last year put a large cooler on a shelf at our old place and it ended up falling on my rear fender, which is another good sized dent on my car.

I think you should keep her out of the garage or find a new place to park your car.
Sorry about your misfortune......

Have you considered building a steel cage around your car?

Only car in the world where "garage kept" hurts its value.

Two questions:

Homeowners or auto Insurance?

OEM or Carbon Fiber hood?

:D

Have you considered a different wife?

I feel for you - and for your wife. No worse feeling than having to tell a car lover that their baby just acquired some new dents.

Time for a respray.

Have homeowners, and full coverage. Although not sure if even a $500 deductible would be worth it. OEM hood, considering PDR

+1
I'd be f'n pissed!

Sad story...but it would be a good idea to give your house a good once over. If a previous owner was that stoopid there could be other dangers lurking. I'd start with wiring and plumbing.

FIFY

:icon107:

I'm sure your wife feels horrible. Luckily no one got hurt.

Time for an upgrade on the....car? GT3 maybe?
It's just a car.
I dropped a 10' piece of aluminum pipe on mine last year. I could feel the steam pressure building and then I just chilled and walked away, didn't even stop everything to address it immediately.
After some cool down time and PDR, some polish, and clay bar it's barely noticeable.
I tried to rationalize it by "The car is 10yrs old." "Now it has a little character." I'm still pis-ed at my clumsy move. Car still drives wonderfully.

+1 on checking other things in the house. What are the kitchen cabinets screwed into?
