Renda's story reminded me of a stupid story of my own!
I was 16 years old and had just purchase my first car, a Chevy Nova in mint condition.
I was so proud as I went to pick up my new license plates. At the time, Illinois required two license plates. One for the back and one for the front.
I put on the back plate just fine, but as I was putting the front plate on, the bolt slipped out of my hand and under the middle of the car.
Not wanting to crawl under the car, I decided that I would
quickly back the car up about four feet.
I quickly jumped into the car without closing the car door, started the car, and put the car in reverse, and started backing up.
What I didn't take into consideration, was that a brick wall came to the edge of our driveway as part of a courtyard area. The door hit the wall while I was backing up and totally knocked the door off the new car!
I was devastated and felt like a complete idiot!
