I have a small makeshift wood ramp to lift the front end slightly so I can get my jack to the front jack point. Well the last oil change I didnt pull the Z in as far into the garage as a normally do and also shut the garage about 3/4 ofbthe way since it was chilly. Drained the oil and let the car back down.
In a lapse of sanity, I got in and released the parking brake so itd roll off the small ramp and be level to check/fill the oil, however, I forgot that 1.) I didnt pull as far I as I normally do and 2.) That the garage door was only partially open. As soon as the car started to roll I regained sanity and stepped on what I thought was the brake.....it was the clutch. As the car rolled I thought ****! Damaged Z and damaged door. I quickly ripped up the ebrake and smashed the brake down but it was too late. I heard a "crunch". I ran out and looked and the bumper was against the hinge. I pulled forward and luckily there was just a minor scratch and the garage door was not bent. Man I felt so stupid.
