had to use car stands the other day, lowered the car down when I was done back onto the 4 blocks of timber and decided to for lunch.

Forgot to pull the handbrake up and the car rolled backwards sandwiching a car stand against the back wall of the shed.

Nice new deep gashs into the rear bar now.. lucky they are low I guess

Removing center muffler in my ute and it driving me nuts mooing like a cow all the time.

One time same car had a dry bit of dirt on the side of it tried to brush it off with my hand and it scratched the paint.

Then parking all the way forward on a park that had a round bar thing that got caught behind the flap at the back of my stone tray and got my cat stuck. Eventually got it off but the stone tray wouldn't go back on. Lucky the bumper is flexible though

Sounds familiar a little!

I jacked the rear up as I was changing struts, both wheels off the ground and I was on my driveway that is made from gravel :/ all of a sudden the jack started to move and Yeap both jacks gave way and my rear end was now stuck in the gravel!

Took me 20mins to dig a small trench to put the jack under and another 20mins to dig a hole in the dirt to allow the jack handle to spin!

No damage but seeing my baby laying flat on the gravel was gut wrenching. Moral of the story- I now go to my mums to jack my car up (flat concrete) :)
