A hard lesson to learn

[CLuTZ]

I'm mega pissed off. I suppose i'm lucky that it wasnt worse.

The handbrake in my daily driver (CC GSR) was quite weak when I bought it. You had to put it ALL the way up for it to work proper. I procrastinated about tightening it for so long, and now its come back and bitten me on the ass.

I parked my car in the city on friday, and came back to see it had rolled backwards about 15m, across 1 lane of traffic, and had smashed into a parked Toyota corolla. It could have been so much worse if that corolla wasnt there, because right behind it was an '06/'07 Audi A4.

I managed to get most of the paint scrapes off my car, with a little elbow grease and some cutting agent, but there's still one big fuck off dent in the rear quarter panel. The rear bumper is also slightly damaged.

To say the least i'm PISSED off, as I was about to list the car for sale, this week. I'm still keen to sell the car, but for an obviously reduced price.

If anyones intrested in a cheap CC GSR with some minor damage, pm me.


later,

I usually do, but I was in a rush, and wasnt really thinking at the time.

If only i had clicked the handbrake on 1 or 2 more clicks, it wouldnt have happened

when you park, turn the front wheels so if the car does roll, it'll hit the kerb (ie: if your facing down hill turn the wheels to the left).

sorry to hear about that tho

Always leave your car parked in gear.

My h.brake is weaking again.

Dre, to tighten it my mechanic told me to pump on the brake pedal then pull the hand brake up. Well something along those lines.

Parking with your wheels turned will kill your wheel alignment.

Just leave it in gear.
