When you are tired and haven't slept...

[VW.A.S.P.]

Don't drive.

I got in the GTI and back it out of the garage not paying attention, and smashed the right side rearview mirror and destroyed the inlaid turn signal. :ugh:

So now I have a cracked right side mirror, and no signal there (that's not a big deal).

Good thing it is a DIY fix and I just need to get the parts.

What kept me up?? We finally rescued the kittens from the next door neighbors yard. 4 out of the five were healthy, but the fifth one, a white siamese looking male was in very bad shape, so we kept him and have been bottle feeding him. Talk about knowing what REAL babies are all about, I had to get up 4 times during the night to feed and poop him. Here is is, and he is up for adoption once we get him healthy:

His name is Chance for now.

Sucks to hear, but glad to hear that you and the garage are alright! :cheers: Far too often I drive while under the influence of sleep deprivation :no: :no: :look:

[StriderTacticaL]

Wow you must have been really tired...

Oh well it could have been a lot worse...if you scraped your fender or bumper

[Black96SVT]

How does someone back out and crash?
Did you not check through your blind spots/outside the windows?

Glad to hear the kitties are A-ok.

Cut the wheel too late/soon.....???

[Nicksbluestang]

Cut the wheel too late/soon.....???

The only reason i ask is cause i got window louver on my quarter panel windows so that makes those windows useless to look through but even with that i dont have a problem backing out.
but yeah youre probably right about that. Steve must have cut the wheel too late or soon.

[VW.A.S.P.]

I never even looked while backing out, I was so tired. :ugh:
