I am reverse-challenged. I have only had accidents in reverse. And I have had some incredible-reverse-accidents. I started small and gained momentum:
- backing into the mailbox and wiping out my sideview mirror: cost $75
- backing into a parked truck looking for my SIL's dog that I was puppysitting: cost $435 (plus dog vet bill that was hit by [another] car but survived $700)
- backing into a wrought iron bench and wiping out side panel and bumper: cost $1000
- backing into parents' car that was parked in my driveway: cost $4000+
Apparently, backing into things is a woman's favorite thing to do. (OK I'm sure men do it, too, but in my experience women do it more. Yes I am guilty of my very own stereo-typing that I
complained of earlier. Sigh...) My friend backed into a parked truck at the end of my driveway -the truck was there when she pulled in, so it wasn't a surprise। My former boss backed into the pillar in the parking garage - where she parks
every single day. Another female friend backed into the mailbox of a neighbor after picking up kids from a birthday party. My SIL ripped off her sideview mirror backing out of her garage. You get the idea...
NOW my (and females everywhere) problem: SOLVED!!! A car that has NO REVERSE. You just turn the passenger/driver part of the car around and whamo - you are now in forward again.
See hereI am truly and totally in love....
