Damaged my door ..argghhh

Oh well.. had to happen sometime. Battery drained out 'cos I left something on in the car over the weekend. No probelm.. I figure a quick jump start and I am ready to test the G in the snow. So I decide to push the car out of the driveway to get it closer to our second car. Ofcourse, I decide to do it all by myself. I push.. quickly pop open the door to pull the parking brake and get the first OMG feeling.. this thing has a push parking (and I use it ALL the time too). By that time, the drivers side door has decided to make contact with van.. and crunch.

With the benefit of hindsite, it was a STUPID thing to do.. fortunately no one got hurt. Except my bank balance as this is going to run almost $2k for paint and scratch fixes. Thankfully there is no structural damage. The irony being that I got my Blizaaks just today too for snow driving !

I'm sorry to hear you damaged the car, that sucks. Why didn't you just mash the brake pedal when you got in the car?

Was just reflex of many years of owning cars with the handbrake in the center. On the positive side, could have been a lot worse.
