My best car related embarassing moment happened about 20 years ago. I had just finished restoring a 68 Mustang fastback and had driven it home from the paint shop. Because freshly painted cars seem to be magnetic, attracting other cars, I parked it on the left side of the garage refusing to drive it till "Murphys Law" wore off. About 3 days later while at work, I discovered that my check book was in the Mustang. I drove to the house, pulled up an inclined driveway to the right of my Mustang with my 1937 Oldsmobile street rod. Left it running, hit the garage door opener and flew out of the Olds up to the Mustang opening the right door to get the book from the glove box. While bent over and the right door fully open, I heard my Olds getting louder and louder. Looked over my shoulder and saw the Olds coming up the driveway in drive! The left corner of its bumper hit the door jamb of the Mustang, virtually pinning me in the car! The car was in gear trying to push the Mustang! I climbed over the open door, slid down the Olds' fender and got inside. Then I sloooowly backed up the 37 Olds to clear the car and put it in park and shut it off. The damage: Red paint on the r/rear quarter of the mustang, yellow paint on the L/front fender of the Olds and the only dent was a small dimple in the door latch jamb of the Mustang! The red paint came off with rubbing compound, the Olds fender had to be repainted and the hinges realigned on the Mustang door! 3 inches over to the right, the Olds would have ended up in my kitchen!
