Thumbs down Kill Thread 2: Turbo Eclipse VS Beach Condo Garage Door

Ok... figure I'd give you guys something to make fun of me for since theres not much, and theres not much to talk about in the western section period.

I parked my car on a slanted steep drive way in front of a garage door and left my car in gear w/o the e-brake. Why? F*K if I know why. Well I went to walk the beach, and after some time I came back, well as I was walking back I was maybe 80ft from my car and around the corner when I heard my Viper 790XV remote beep at me, and I thought wtf? Thinking someone broke in my car as I was coming back, so I picked it outa my pocket and saw the motor picture on, and then as I saw that I heard a loud crash, then my heart dropped to my stomache and I hauled ass towards my car, in disgust I saw half my car inside the garage, and half outside, so I hurried up and disarmed my alarm, unlocked my door, jumped in, took the car outa gear and backed it out, before I could have started itself up again and rammed itself furhter inside the garage, taking out the boat inside. Nearly pissing myself as I got out of my car I saw what was left of the garage door....nothing. I looked at my car w/ all the glass all over it freaking out, as the neighbors who just happened to be staying there (when NOBODY ever rents these condos) came running out to see the destruction...yea after freaking out and thinking my FMIC was trashed along with my front bumper, I cleaned off my hood, cleaned the glass off the ground, traded info, went to a car wash to wash all the crap off. Yes my fmic is fine minus a shard of glass stuck in the fins, and my 2 fenders have huge white marks from the doors paint cut real deep into them

The eclipse won....

BTW Insurance claims my rate wont go up because it's classified as a roll away accident. Police didn't cite me since I was not driving the car. Owner of the condo gets a new garage door I'm stuck w/ an even shittier paint job than I had before. Shoot me now, I'm done.

there is a reason why remote start systems are clearly labeled not to be installed on a MT vehicle.


i think you just found out why.

I knew that. Everyone knows I maybe keep my car in gear maybe once a year if that. I almost always use my ebrake when I'm on a hill.
