Last night my dad asked me to put the car into the garage, its a 1991 Ford Escort Wagon LX. The car was posistioned outside where the pool table would be rights in front of it so I would have to move it to the left side. I started to go in reverse and I noticed that the rear wheels were going of the driverway into the neighbors lawn. So I put it in to drive and moved up a little to correct myself. Then I thought I went into reverse again but iI was still in drive, and WAM! I went right into the side part of the garage. Luckly I didnt hit the metal railing the garage goes up. I looked on the outside and the front bumper is cracked, the fender has damage, and the driver side coner signal was shattered. My dad went to some place and they said it would cost at least $1000 dollars to fix. BULLSHIT! I'm just going to go down to the junkyard and get that stuff, or go online and get the stuff. Oh yea, my parents were pissed.

$1000 bucks, sheesh. You could pick up a whole parts car for that much.

Exactly, mechanics and body shops charge too much for parts. I learned from past experiences that it is better to find parts online or in a salvage yard rather than paying some mechanic to do it.
