I'm having a real bad weekend
On saturday I lost $185. ( fell out of my pocket ) But worse than that I spent the entire morning and afternoon making sure the 68 was spotless for my first chance to take pictures since I bought it a couple of weeks ago.
I had to move the lawn mower an some trash cans so I could back down our driveway. ( its a fairly steep hill to a main city street ) so I push the mower to the far side of our patio and go to move the trash cans. I hear my wife yell and when I look the dam mower is about to hit the car :eek:
I never had a chance . :mad It took a nice gouge out of the quarter panel :cry We went to the park anyway to take the pics but man was I bumed :( oh ya I need a new lawn mower too :smash: :smash: :smash: I don't think this one is going to work any more

Bummer. Nothing like a lawnmower in the side of the vette to ruin the day.
Not to mention the $185.

That is why my lawnmower is in a shed with other garden tools. My only concern is 2 kids bikes. They are under severe punishment if the car gets nicked. They know better. I have a heavy cover on it also.
