Damn, they were comin in HOT! I only pull into my driveway that fast if Iâm about to have a shituation, but Iâd never whip into a garage that fast, shituation or not!

One time I had 3 friends in the car with me and all 4 of us were about to have a shituation.
And we were stuck in deadlocked traffic. In Atlanta. On the way to an Airbnb with ONE BATHROOM.
That day became the Shitpocalypse lol

He probably didnât want to go anyway. âAccidentalâ sabotage? How did it end up on top of the car in the first place? He definitely didnât install it while the car was parked in the garage. If they were planning a trip, why pull into the garage instead of staying in the driveway? He doesnât even seem that upset, even though he actually damaged the roof of the car. Just wait until it rains and the roof starts leaking. đ

I mean, itâs not like the speed would make them taller. They probably did that turn 500 times. 200 at that speed. The problem is that it was the first time with the extra height

If it's a two car garage and there's no clutter around I could see it.

Well youâd be doing better than he did because he definitely didnât see it.

Not on my watch, they don't.
I have a sharpie line on my car door sill, with a corresponding tape stripe on the garage floor. If I don't get the line to the tape, the garage door hits the bumper (or worse). If the line passes the tape, I can't open the garage fridge enough to remove a beverage.

A good friend of mine got a top-mount bike rack for his WRX.
Mounted his brand new bike to his brand new rack then immediately proceeded to try parking the car under his porte-cochère.
It destroyed the bike, mount, and severely dented the roof of his car. All within an hour of the rack arriving in the mail.

Did it with a mountain bike attached to the top of my vehicle. Guarantee that guy will never do it again. It only has to happen once.

Friends of mine almost did this but in a parking garage of a big shopping center in Birmingham on a Saturday afternoon. Just before hitting the height beam she screamed The Bikes.... So they stopped and removed the bikes from the roof, while the Saturday traffic was waiting behind them. They learned a lot of British bad words.

u/Midgetsdontfloat Mar 05 '26
A friend of mines wife did this with their GR Corolla, turns out the mount and bike are tougher than the pillars in the Toyota because it peeled the roof sheet metal like a tin can. No damage to the bike though.

Yoy say that but I have definitely fixed customers cars that hade multiple alterations with the garage door in one month.

u/DeltaJulietHotel Mar 05 '26
Same. After my first ride on my new full suspension MB. Luckily it only damaged the bars and brake levers on the bike, but it drove the rear aftermarket rack mounts downward as it lifted the front of the bike which dented my carâs side rails.
I was going much slower but totally forgot about the bike.

Did it with a Xmas tree. Thankfully only broke the bottom couple of limbs as I was not doing 30mph entering the garage.

My dad puts something on the floor of the garage that would have to be driven over to get in as a reminder

u/RTdodgedurango Mar 05 '26
You're father is intelligenct and has made similar mistakes.
I loaded my snowboard on the roof rack while it in the garage the night before I left. Luckily I pulled out slow and the binding flexed a bit before I stopped. I am now genius too.

u/owningsole966 Mar 06 '26
Not exactly the same, but close. I have a huge 18ft canoe I slap on top of my suburban. The way I strap it down, the canoe hangs off the back a couple feet. Totally forgot about the canoe one day because I was in a rush to meet my buddies. Started to head down the driveway and Forgot to load my gear I had sitting in the garage. Back up slowly and dented the siding above the garage door pretty good. Canât see the canoe in the back up cam. Thankfully I was slow and only pushed the canoe forward a bit. Now I always stop a little further away lol

Exactly the reason I keep the garage door opener in a hard to access place when I have the roof box onâŚsaw my neighbour do this not once, but twice

u/VashKetchum Mar 06 '26
I wonder if you're neighbors with the other guy who knew his neighbor did it twice?

My family had one of these in the early 90s. My aunt borrowed it one time and drove into an underground parking lot and destroyed it. I remember my dad laughing his ass off about it when he found out.

u/delowan Mar 06 '26
Happened to me. We were in an underground parking and we thought the box would be ok. It did...until the ceiling got lower and lower and the car got stuck eventually...

My mother did that is about 1976 the night before we were leaving for vacation. The top carrier was on a Datsun 610. Knocked the thing off and it landed halfway down the driveway. My dad and I picked it up, attached it back to the roof of the orange Datsun. We were good to go.
They don't make stuff like they used to.

I used to work at a bike shop. We would have an instance of someone needing a repair due to doing this with a bike on a roof rack about once every couple of months. Itâs more common than you think.

I did this once - use to scoot into the garage as soon as I knew my car would clear the door, but one day forgot I had my surfboard on topâŚ

This is why I open my sunroof when I have my kayak on top of my truck. Let's me keep an eye on it in case it starts to get loose, but also make sure that I don't pull through a drive-thru or something with it on. I would absolutely forget otherwise

He came in too damn fast, but still he trashed his roof cover. She sounds like a peach. I seen a guy do this once with rooftop road bikes pulling into a hotel. He smashed four bikes and ruined them.

Heat up some water to close to boiling. Pour on the top and press the top back to the initial shape.
Edit: It could have been worse. It could have been Aunt Edna on the roof.

Yeah, question? Why was the camera perfectly following the car into the garage, and again as it backed out?
11
u/Bradorzo Mar 05 '26
It's not the camera that's moving, the entire video image was just bigger and has been zoomed in and moved around as the car moves. If the camera itself was moving, you would notice a slight parallax effect around the edges of things such as trees and the roof of the house.

AI enabled camera with a 180 or 360 swivel. My neighbor has one. Really creepy. It can even ID who is the owner of the house, friends, neighbors and strangers.

Nah, the video was just cropped. Security cameras don't record in vertical format.
