You're gonna get what you want for Christmas!

Does your gate not have an electric eye? Mine has an eye to keep that from happening?!

Glad it wasn't any worse!

My window was open and I realized in about 1/2 a second what was going on. I tried to grab the gate with my hand to try to stop it, but could only listen in dumb horror as I heard the "clangggg" of the gate against my door. Only you forum people can understand how unbelievably pizzed I got (and hurt, too, surprisingly). There's now a 2-3 mm scuff in the BSM, but no dent. THANK GOD for my BSMs. She's apologized for it, but that didn't make the sting hurt any less. I won't be talking to her for a couple of days.

THANK GOD for BSM.

She probably feels worse than you, knowing how you care for your car.
Glad it wasn't to serious.

If it was an accident, I wouldn't stay mad for long... if she did that right after you had a fight, that's another story

Hey everyone, thanks for all the support. In the end, it's just a small scuff on the left BSM. The wife and I are cool now. You guys were right, she felt worse than I did. Thanks for helping me vent my frustrations.
